The Energon Pub

Since my original post, BB74 has dropped to $46.99.

However, this guy's on the rise.

Deluxe Bumblebee 08 Camaro $99.99
http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Movi ... 310&sr=8-1

It stopped ages ago but UK e-Bay
Astrotrain, all stuff, out of box a few times, box slightly damaged ,no paint chips, generally good condition.

Price (not including the £25 postage) (Drum roll)
£250.99

After being put up about 5 times it either got sold or just removed.

HOLY ##$%$^@!!! What's so special about this toy? Have a pic or link? I wanna see him!

I really like BBTS, but...

G1 Repaint Voyager Starscream $44.99

That's even more than a Leader Class, and more than we can get him here for! Bear in mind that where I am Deluxes cost USD$18-21, which cost UDS$9.99 where you are. Yet this G1 Starscream costs more than it does here! (USD$35)

a while back there was a g1 repaint jazz going for 139.99 on eaby.... now theyre pretty much popping up everywhere. i hope no one really bought one at that price .

Yes $1,000,000 dollars. Granted it was for an entire collection, however the collection could not have been worth more than 5 or 6000 dollars. I'll try to find the Ebay auction, end edit the post later with it.

I think if you read the entire auction it would be worth a million to a lot of people.. the money wasn't all for the colelction. It was in support of the cancer foundation (if I'm correct)

Seen in that light, I don't think people would mind spending an extra dollar here and there if the auction was for charity...

So, transformers against cancer (insert famous youtube video here) would be a great idea for us to get some rare figures (if hasbro/takara would do a small run of reissues on very rare items) and be something good for charity.

I don't think I can answer this fairly, I payed to much for yo many subpar bots in my life. However as far as being ripped off is concerned, if I see it and don't think its worth it, I walk away from it.

But some of my most recent disapointments are

Leader Brawl $45

MP Megatron $125

G1 QuickSwitch $80

The list can go on, but I don't see a point. Leader Brawl I can at least return, but the vintages and imports you always wind up eating it on!

MP Megatron went around $125.00 including shipping at the beginning. I got mine for almost $123.00 with shipping included. And how fragile he is. He breaks so easily. Now he goes for $200.00 for just the figure due to his rarity. Heck he's not even worth 70 bucks.

the 08 BB cliffjumper repaint seems to becoming a ridiculous price.... why cant people be patient and wait for its general release.... if they buy it now theyll probably be the cool kid with the cliffjumper for only about a few months 'til its released and nobody gives a crap.

Yes $1,000,000 dollars. Granted it was for an entire collection, however the collection could not have been worth more than 5 or 6000 dollars. I'll try to find the Ebay auction, end edit the post later with it.

Yea I think this is my answer too!!

Really? What about Leader Brawl were you disappointed with?

Wish the link was still up, there were 8 TRU reissues on Craigslist for $3400. I think it was 8 of them atleast.

BB08 at $78.83

Goon's name is BumblebeeToyzzz. Probably set up just to ride on this Bumblebee frenzy.

Barricade Deluxe at $46.99. That's as much as Leader Prime

On the other hand we have a G1 Jazz repaint that's surprisingly cheap, $15.99

I dunno. The 50k auction might be worth it depending on the boxes' conditions. Hard to tell from a pic.

Grand Max for 1000 is a fine price, especially if complete.

However, I think this one is a little much.

And heres a funny one. Jusging by the pics, this was done at thome. However...

haha.... it ooks like they used sharpies on the jungle starscream "prototype"

Deluxe jazz for $30!

I don't feel so bad for dropping $79 for Ultimate Bumblebee last night at Target. I can't believe someone was disappointed in Leader Class Brawl; Deluxe Brawl, yes, but not Leader Class.
