When I first saw this, I was like :shock:

Is he really worth THAT much? Iv'e seen the USS FLAGG Go for less!

I honestly like the RID Version better, but still, just, wow.
Better question would be, who would drop that kind of cash for that! I know he's worth alot, but, I mean, $750.00 is alot to me, so this going for over $1,000.00 seems like overkill.

Yes, it can go that high in fact, especially with the box, complete and in mint condition. The only thing missing is the kitchen sink it being sealed.

The box isn't in the greatest shape, but I guess if the buyer will pay for it.

I've seen a G-1 Optimus Prime go for over $1,500.00 (US)so people will pay if they want it bad enough.

A SUPER MINTY Trypticon that I was watching on EBay just went for 730 plus another 50 in shipping and handling.
Of course this particular specimen was even came with the original spacing cardboard in it that kept the figure from flopping around in the box. The original owner literally must have applied the decals and either just displayed it or put it back in the box.
It was quite a beauty indeed. I put a hefty bid of 320 on it but obviously got blown out of the water.

If this guy sells this for his asking price of $3500, it will be time to put mine on ebay!

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up taking best offer.

Also, it says stickers have been applied. I don't know about you, but most of the people I know who'd shell out that kind of money for something pristine usually want it as untouched as humanly possible. In their eyes, the stickers being applied is a negative factor.

For everything though, it's not that bad a price for that figure in that condition/level of completion. Nothing I'd personally pay, but props to whoever manages to snag that beast.

Damn, I paid £120 for mine! It's perfect apart from the small purple gun for the little robot is missing but it's got all the polystyrene.
