I'd be happy to purchase it from you for a nice sum of $10 US :grin:

Sell it.. you`ll make a huge profit because of it`s limited numbers and Shadow Scyther.

I believe the big bossman, Seibertron himself is looking to find one for a decent price. Perhaps you could hit him up?

Yeah, sell. Try the bossman for the benefit of fankind!

Yep, sell it to Seibertron.

Then we can all drool at the gallery...

I sent a PM earlier this week (which you must not have received yet because it's still in my outbox) as well as one as a response to your PM this evening. Also tried emailing you, but it says your email address is not valid. Can you update your email account associated with your user account so that it has your current address? Thanks!

I bought mine for $190 MISB in January and then had the same dilemma as you: I wasn't even a huge fan of the figure (for $50 dollars it would have been a keeper) so I decided to sell mine loose in September and got $250 for him. Sell Sell Sell Sell :APPLAUSE:

You could get a Transformers Masterpiece and half the Generations line for that cash!! :grin:

I'd actually keep him! His limited numbers means his value will only increase over time, and if your anything like me, at some point you may even regret selling him.

Hmm...He does make an interesting point. But if you really do need funds, then I suppose the route would be to sell. Also, I'm sure Seibertron will pay a fair amount for ol'WaidoRaida. Just be sure to get back to him whenever you can.

I am interested in Wildrider so that I can do a gallery of him. I am not interested in paying a lot for a black repaint of Rodimus. I'd rather buy Japanese G1 exclusives. I am looking for a deal on Wildrider, or one at a reasonable price. If people want to sell their Wildriders for eBay prices, they should sell them on eBay. I am not looking to pay eBay prices for this figure. Anything more than $200 sealed is ridiculous for a 2 year old figure. $200 is absurd. His original $80 to $100 US price was absurd, which is why I passed it up originally. I buy basically everything that comes out Transformers related ... I just don't think this toy is worth what he's getting, especially now that the sellers are trying to get $500 now for sealed ones on eBay (notice that they're not selling at that price). $300 is more than likely a fair price for one on eBay, $100 to $150 loose.

For whatever reason, the seller in this thread is no longer responding to my messages about this figure. He was supposed to send me some pictures on Sunday but never did. I'm hoping that he will send me some pics so that we can continue figuring out how to get Seibertron.com a gallery of this figure, which is long overdue.

You can't argue with that.

The prices for this guy are unreal. I noticed that on E-Hobby he was going at one point for 3,000 JPYN which is about $25. Looks like no one was smart enough to buy all the remaining stock at such a low price and make a profit.

I simply wasn't interested at all when he first came out because I didn't remember who he was (had only just got back into collecting and of course didn't recall the names of every single TF ever made).

When I did want him it cost 5 times that amount but after a few months I realised I just couldn't justify that for one deluxe figure so I put my (loose but 100% complete) Wildrider up for auction on Ebay and within 1 hour I had two offers of $150 and two for $250 so I just put it up for Buy it Now for $250 and before 2 hours were up it was sold.

I knew the figure was going for pretty high, but from what you've just told me, I gotta say I agree with you. The last time I looked this guy up on Ebay was about a year ago and he was about $100. Can't believe how high and fast the prices on these figures go for.

I just sent Ryan a PM about this and am not asking an outrageous price I even offered to trade as I have been unable to find most of the new generations figures hope we can work this out would love to know that the figure in the gallery was mine and would love to help the seibertron community with seeing a gallery of this figure

Just trying to touch base with you again. Haven't heard from you via email since Monday. Please respond to my emails to let me know what's going on. Thanks.

Just want to take a moment to thank Savage_Prime for a great transaction. Ended up being a great trade. I haven't done a trade since I was a little kid when I swapped my Jetfire for Omega Supreme in 4th grade. My mother was just a tad pissed about that since she looked forever for Jetfire that year for my 10th birthday. Whoops!

I've got my Wildrider right next to me on my gallery table. I'll do his gallery when the TFA black Rodimus comes out. I also bought a black e-Hobby G1 Hot Rodimus as well which should arrive next week some time.

Thanks again Savage_Prime.

Once the Shadow Scyther sets are sold out and going for equally unreasonable prices you'd have a harder time selling one. If you're looking to maximise your profit I'd personally buy a SS kit, wait til they're sold out and then sell them together as a set.
