Hello seibertronions around da globe. I recently purchased G1 Outback, and got it today. I was wondering if any of you would like to rate this figure. If you have it you might have a better rating. Otherwise, check the galleries, then rate it.

I give it a 9/10. The transformation puzzled me the first time but I learned that what you do first, is what you do last on this figure. I think it's worth more than what I payed for (19 dollars). In fact, I think it's worth probably 25 dollars. What are your thoughts.

Quite honestly, $19 for a loose G1 Outback is a little bit steep, even if you have the gun and the Tech Specs; I bought mine in a lot of all four season 3 Minibots for $20 three years ago.
That said, if he was MOSC (Mint, On Stock Card), I could see $55-85, more if it's AFA certified.

When you get right down to it though, it's worth what someone will pay for it, right?

He's a nice little figure, and I like the head sculpt more than Brawn's, but the legs and arms on those two always sort of annoyed me. Not my favorite G1 minibot (that would be Powerglide or Beachcomber), but still not bad, especially since he has a weapon!

Congrats on the find!

Yeah, but I may correct you on some. I payed for just the figure, and he is not loose, at all. He came with the gun, of course, but no tech specs. My friend bought the entire set for 20 dollars too, but now, I look around, and it's almost 50 dollars. So, I expect to grab the entire set and just sell one of my Outbacks, depending on the quality. Otherwise, I'll get them all seperately. Saves a few bucks off the entire set.

It's a crappy little G1 minibot so I don't have a high opinion of it! I thought it was great when I was 10 but its tiny little arms are a bit lame.

I meant loose in the sense that he wasn't still on the card. An 8/10 or even 9/10 figure (with all the accessories and the Tech specs) won't be worth anywhere near what you'd get for MOSC/MISB.

Are you referencing the Encore Minibots set? If there are 5 bots in it and it goeas for about $50, shouldn't it only have been about $10? Also this guy has the set shipped for less than $50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Encore ... 45f294e556

No, just Outback, but yeah, he is included in the minibot set, but I didn't get it. The shipping and handling was 7 dollars, but his alone price was 12 dollars. You see how I get 19 dollars out of that.
