Seems like no instruction manual with clipped out robot point.

Is this for real?

there's a Black Shadow there too, same price, same seller

Nooope.

I've seen a MIB Big Powered set at a store for €1,000 (or $1,120), and that set is already rare enough. Using that as a standard, I say: no.

May just be sticking it out there to field offers. For instance - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Bacchus-Ja ... 1415619754

Someone actually bought it?!

The best offer was probably way way lower.

After 2 attempts, it's been taken down. Too greedy? Or desperate?

Even 10% of that price is strechting it.

Yowza! My wife would string me up and beat me with a mop (a dirty mop) if I ever paid that much for 1 figure.

Probably ran into a case where it was actually going to cost money to list it, so they stopped. They don't always let you list free!

I'd have a hard time paying $200 for this toy.

With 3rd parties creating fully articulated update toys that HasTak probably won't. Would rather play the 3rd party waiting game.

Not even remotely related to this thread. G1 collecting on that level isn't about the toy itself but rather having what others wish they could.

...I fear you might be right about that.

Another ebay auction of MH, loose no box

One vendor but he/she separated the parts as:

1. "Hawk" shell
2. "Hawk" helmet
3. Metalhawk jet with none of the twin wing blasters ( $ 425.00 )

The 1st 2 items seems to have been purchased or pulled out but I totaled what the vendor wanted and it reached almost $ 1000.00

Horrible business. Never buy incomplete stuff. Ever.

Frankly, anything I buy no one else can have, because it's mine. If someone else has it, I want it back.

For a select few, probably. For most that are into JP G1, it's not, but I can't tell if you're serious so I'll keep this post short.

Wow ... where did you see a Big Powered set for that price? I really want to get a nice Big Powered set. My collection needs a Dai Atlas!!!

This was a couple years back in Amsterdam, at an import store called "A Space Oddity". It doesn't stock as many vintage Japanese figures as it used to, but it has a few gems if you look hard enough.
