Holy crap...
Holy crap holy crap
HOLY CRAP!

Okay...
Okay..................
A guy I did trades with last year just open a new geek store in town. Half the store is dedicated to Transformers. He's full of G1 figures. Anyway, he mailed me about his store and I proposed him some stuff for store credit.
The store owner have no problem with trades, as long that I mailed him in advance about what I would bring to not waste anyone's time. So, I dug up the most interesting stuff that I either buried in storage or I no longer cared about.
This Is what I brought him:
(From left to right)
Beast Wars Neo Randy (new), Takara Armada Ironhide (demolishor) non-transformable action figure (new) Beast Wars Optimal Optimus (100%), Movie '07 Scorponok Desert Battle (new), Target's Silver Knight Optimus & Grimlock (new), BH legion Airachnid (new), Animated deluxe Cybertronian Optimus Prime (new), Play Arts FFX-2 Paine and Rikku (used), Movie '07 Barricade 1st Encounter (new) and TF Prime Starscream VS Bumblebee (new).

I also gave this:
NECA 9" Alien (new), Hegemon 1st edition (used), Universe Nemesis Prime with the Armor (100%).

And finally but not pictured, I gave all of these loose TF toys:
Movie '07 Blackout, Botcon Sharkticon Landshark (with card and manual), FOC Starscream, Movie '07 legion Jazz, and final finally, G1 Bombshell and Shrapnel (no guns).
SO, WHAT DID I GOT FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Sure, I gave lots of stuff and the store have to make a profit. However, in pure value, I guess I win big time.
And now...
First, the two CW deluxe I missed for my custom needs. Fate chose Blades and First Aid. Both without accessories but I don't care.

I got G1 Pretender Roadgrabber, 100% complete and in great shape.

Also, one that I never knew existed. G1 Mega Pretender Crossblades. Pretty fun with the derpyest helicopter mode ever. Of course, 100% complete

And here...
TWO HOLY GRAILS.
IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
G1 Pretender BLUDGEON!, 100% complete

And the Grailiest of them all,
G1 MEGA PRETENDER THUNDERWING!!! 100% COMPLETE!

I'm just baffled. Sure, in pure cash, the store owner will make more in the long run. But holy crapiest crap, I never, ever expected to see G1 Bludgeon and G1 Thunderwing in store. Yet alone coming back home with them. And furthermore, having TWO MORE pretenders! One being of high value! I would have gladly given all of that stuff for Bludgeon and Thunderwing alone. Crossblades and Roadgrabber are cherries on top of that unexpected sundae!
Unloading stuff that I don't need and take a lot of room for super rare and expensive collectibles? Eh, ANY TIME!
