1) PRiD Deluxe Bumblebee
2) DOTM Deluxe Bumblebee
3) ROTF Deluxe Bumblebee

----------------------------------------------------------

In all seriousness, most "rare TFs" I own would likely hail from my Classics+ collection. However, my most recent that one could consider rare are PRiD Rumble, (arguably) BH Shockwave, and AM-12 War Breakdown (about a year ago).

BH Shockwave? I've been seeing him on store shelves consistently for several weeks. They're practically shelfwarmers in my area.

Me? I don't really have any rare figures, unless you count something like RTS Windcharger (which someone else mentioned) or store exclusives like the Target Universe 2.0 Springer and Ratbat set. Or a third-party figure like the Knight Annihilator or WST Shockwave.

Victory Liokaiser and Trainbots Raiden. Still kept in box since they cost like hell.

I suggest you take them out of their box prisons. Those buggers tend to break apart despite minimal or no handling at all unless you've got pairs to play in vehicle and robot mode.

You guys are listing a lot of harder to find/in-demand stuff that isn't necessarily "rare" (just often damn expensive

) and to quote the OP:

I've never been interested in tracking down rare figures but I suppose all of my customs are rare - only one of each in the world!

Also, we should be talking absolute rarity or obscurity. Items like E-Ultra Magnus and the RtS line were rare in the US, but elsewhere they were abundant, especially Magnus here.

Ah, I just remembered something: the rarest figure I own is probably:

I looked up Enegron Magnus in TFWiki (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ultra_Magnus_%28Energon%29) and it says that while he got a limited U.S. release, he was quite common outside the U.S. and even a shelfwarmer in the U.K.

Good point, dude. People are going to be trying to break into my house and **** now trying to get this grail of obscurity! Quick, anyone want to buy this thing? Only $42 + shipping. I accept food stamps and EBS...

I have that huge Soundwave cassette player that actually played cassettes. Is that rare?

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Tue Nov 05, 2013 10:40 pm

I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if these are rare; they are some that I never thought I'd find/afford.

-DOTM Human Alliance Soundwave
-G1 Star Convoy (not reissue)
-G1 God Ginrai

Circa 2001 to 2002 iirc but according to tfwiki he was over sold.

News Credits: 1 · by **RhA** » Wed Nov 06, 2013 11:30 am

I think the original is pretty rare. I guess he's not all that high on everyone's list, because of the reissue. I love that mold, but the original doesn't interest me at all.

Not trying to burst your bubble, but RTS Windcharger and FE CJ aren't that rare. In fact, my local TRU recently had about a dozen FE CJs and they were on clearance for 2 for $10. Swerve, however, is DEFINITELY rare, by definition, since they only made a small amount and you couldn't buy it in any store.

when I got them, they were rare- my bubble is intact, merely displaced in time

One of our seibertron members here (forgot his name) had a custom eHobby Orion Pax set with an animation accurate head. This got my juices running to also acquire one. Thank Primus I won one at ebay almost 3 years ago (before ebay started to suck like eggs)

I also managed to snag (sold the classic Optimus part) a 2 pack Optimus/Magnus set for the 1st release City Commander armor. (FP I hate your company soooooooooo much because of all your awesome products :lol:
