Would you pay $3,000 US for this + $500 US odd S/H?

Personally I am on the fence on this one. It looks alright. I have seen better ones that were one offs sold from past JPN conventions.

If I had $3500 and extra space, I still wouldn't do it, especialy since it's damaged.

You could probably make something way cooler yourself if you had the time from sheet metal and some scooter parts for a fraction of the money.

I agree. I remember a G1 OP homage similar to this one from a JPN convention but better built and looking going for $1200 US a few years ago. Bid on it and lost.

no way! I've seen better versions outt here than this for the same price or much less and not to mention this one is damaged pretty badly in my opinion. the hole will become much larger it's already cracking around it and it's pretty badly scratched up on the legs and feet.

That thing looks ridiculous at any price.
