is a picture of a 6-7 year old haul i got when i first started collecting he was like my 7 toy i bought

You got it for 35$...
Granted, that was years ago, but still...

Dig out your closets and attic/basement. You may have several other treasures like that that you are not even aware of!

i will also what do you think he will go for XD once i clean him up and stuff and yes he was on sell at Walmart XD

but im not selling him just curious about what mine could sell for

[william-james88]

the right one with the swords

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers- ... /1898/1/1/ got him in 2009 he was literally my first leader class i also have http://www.seibertron.com/vsd/character ... tron/4813/ Shadow Command Megatron thos two where my very first learder class toys Shadow Command Megatron was my 2ed leader class back when my collection was over 9000% smaller

Thats one hell of a way to start off a collection, those 2 are very much in demand, especially or movie toys!

And Carytheone, that is a great haul! My assumption is Skywarp is the one found on the hunt!

Also, since you asked for the value, Shadow Command Megatron is only worth alot if he is still in his box. Outside his box, he is just over 100$US:

On big ticket items, like these rarer ones and all the G1 stuff, the difference between loose and MIB is huge.

hmm i wonder i do have ever thing that the box had so i could rebox him with all his original bubble twisty tie things that held him in and keep him in place and from moving about in his bubble in his box. would that affect it at all? as im curious im not well versed in very rare items

lol i keep all of my stuff twisty ties oringal tape on the box to such a degree that i could box it up with all of his original stuff it would be very hard to tell if he was opened or not. to the point where i would half to say opened/etc stuff along with the other stuff you put for a used toy etc in the discrepion.

i even peel off the take in such a way to keep all the adhesive looking mint on the sticky side of the tape. lol i have a bit of ocd when unboxing.

No. A toy is either mint in sealed box or it isn't (as far as being complete and like new and all).
Imagine you realize someone licked that cake you just bought at the store. It may look new and all but if you knew it was licked, would you still want to pay the same price?
You could repackage it to look like it was never removed and then sell it saying it is mint in sealed box but that would be dishonest. It's up to you and your conscience. But if I were you, I would just be glad that you have a beautiful toy in like new condition that you only paid 35$ instead of 400$ for. That's how I look at it.

Thanks and that is none other than RID Jazz; trying to hypnotize you

i dont do dishonesty i sell honest.

i dont liy, trick people, i give full disclosure of ever thing i sell.

i have honor i make sure the seller is informed on the truth and the reality of the toys states etc. i would never do anything dishonest. i am a very nice person. i hate dishonesty and liying all it leads to is ruin and evil and bad not good stuff

i make right to the people i buy from and sell to and make sure it's 110% fair and honest

Oh I know, and I understood you very well when you said you would mark that the box was opened and that he was removed in a listing. That is very good of you. I just meant that it would still be considered similar to out of the box and thus the only way you could get more than just that amount would be to be dishonest. Which you arent doing and thats very good.

Some transformers can be worth more if they are loose and have their box, but that is more for G1 Transformers.

But like I said, just enjoy your toy instead of selling it. Your toys is still just as rare and wanted. I am sure many collectors here can confirm that there are a few toys we sold in our younger years that we regret selling. I love my collection so much that if I sold it tomorrow, I would simply use all the money I made ot buy it back

Energon Rodimus wasn't cutting it (cool bot, but no articulation), so I picked up Animated Rodimus Minor. The Lost Light has a new captain, and Tailgate decided to surprise him this morning.

That is one of the best car transformers ever made, Congrats! Did you know that this mold was the starting point for his MP?

For a lost light crew, did you consider Cloud Rodimus?

I did not know about the MP connection. Cool! He really does have a great transformation, and looks wonderful in vehicle mode.

I thought about Cloud Rodimus, but opted out partly based on price, and partly because he just looks too much like Springer. I also like the Deluxe scale for Rodimus because he fits in a bit better with the other toys, which are mostly Generations/Combiner Wars figures (except for Animated Ratchet and G1 Chromedome and Rewind).

[Zeedust]

Combiner Hunters set arrived today.

CH Windblade looks damn near regal.

[_I_Am_Megatron_]

Hadn't bought any Transformers in a while, got Combiner Wars Optimus and Silverbolt yesterday.

[joeprime276]

I haven't posted in a while but I have acquired quite a few new bots
-I got all three FOC (best video game ever) seekers: Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Starscream (any recommendations for realistic versions?)
-Legends Rodimus
-Leader Ultra Magnus (my new favorite Transformer!)
-FOC Bumblebee- he seemed to be the best G1 inspired bumblebee but does anyone have a recommendation for a realistic Bumblebee and not FoC?
-FOC Grimlock
-FOC Jazz- any recommendations for a realistic Jazz?
-CW Leader Megatron
-CW Rook- I haven't opened him yet because I can't tell if I like him enough
-Legends Skywarp
-Legends Starscream
-CW Deadend

The next figure I really want is the Combiner Hunters three pack. Those three figures look great.

I don't get it. What do you mean "any recommendations for a realistic" something? Do you mean with an Earth based altmode only? Classic G1 accuracy? Realistic as it was portrayed in the Bay movies?

Please answer before I recommend anything.

Dont get it either, also I think he means WFC Bumblebee, not FOC, right?

[RhA]

Overlord arrived. Need I mention his glory?

[joeprime276]

Sorry William-James and kanrabat. I meant what are your recommendations for Earth based vehicle modes, preferably similar to their G1 counterparts or at least a modern update. Not Bay movies. And yes, I meant WFC Bumblebee. I'm very sorry for being so bad at conveying my thoughts and questions regarding Transformers. I've always been a Star Wars collector (which I still am) so I'm struggling to get familiar with all the characters, lingo, and lines of figures. Thanks for willing to help me out.
Her is a more organized list of figures I would please like recommendations for Earth based Vehicle modes:
-Bumblebee
-Cliffjumpee
-Jazz
-Staracream
-Skywarp
-Thundercracker
-Soundswave
