So I've only just got into collecting G1 figures after collecting the movie line for a couple of years. I can't seem to get hold of the classics starscream mould anywhere without paying like £50. Any ideas where I could pick one up? Nothing on ebay.
Cheers
Andy

Do you mean the G1 Starscream? Complete ones can be pricey cuase of all the parts. A good trick is to check parts lots instead of looking for him solo. Many times you can get a complete seeker in a lot because the seller didn't realize all the parts were there.

If need be, I have a pair of Fuselages that mean little to me if you find the wings for cheap.

Hi
Thanks for reply but I am after the Transformers classics or Universe deluxe figure from 2006

Oh okay. He is a hard one to get, you might be better off buying Thundercracker and painting him.

There's a couple of high-end KOs too.

There will be more. Not like he will never make a grand apperance on Ebay again. Patience I'd say.

Or craigslist. Mostly those are loose figures but sometimes you hit a gold mine.

It's really hard to believe that most of the Neo-G1 figures have gone up in price after such a small amount of time. I've been trying to look for a Universe Screamer for my little brother but the prices out there are insane. I can see the '06 Classics being at somewhat high prices, but the Universe 2.0 line is really pushing it. Have you guys seen what the Legends Cosmos, Wheelie, and Warpath go for now and days? Arm, leg, and then some :-(

obviously higher than retail but affordable http://acestoystore.com/store/index.php ... 8c27167195

Didn't know there were places that sold them at that price. Bad example on my part I guess? Still, I wouldn't pay as much for a Legends class toy and I maintain my sentiment on how high most CHUGRtS figures have gone up on the market.

He keeps popping up on Ebay i got a loose one last week for £17 and Skywarp for £25 but the biggest bastard is Ramjet ive been in three bids for him latley and he's went for no less than £35-45, One pops up every couple of days though (i will get him).
So just check every day one will turn up.

I found him on Ebay, just took a while. Ended up getting a perfect one (opened but had all the packaging) for $35. Real killer is definitely Ramjet. Brokedown and bought one is same condition as aforementioned Starscream for $60. Kinda dumb in hindsight but I wanted all 3 coneheads.

i managed to get 2 universe starscreams from ebay in the last few months. they werent that expensive considering. downside is one of them was suffering from severe mold issues, as many of the universe seemed to, and had bad joints and floppy wings. Its hit and miss as the second i got was fine. Id suggest either try for classics or just be patient, it will appear eventually
