Wheeljack, stickers unapplied, sticker sheet included, red decoder, instructions, has all accessories minus 2 missles, and has the box in what looks like pretty good condition.
I paid $150 shipped.
I finally have some expendable income, I've been trying to get this guy with the box for a long time.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=010I've seen it go for a lot more, though I'm a bit upset it's missing the insert tray, I'll have to buy one of those somehow.

Wheeljack is a mighty fine figure, one that I hope to own at some point in the near future, when I have that Scrooge McDuck sized safe full of money.
Until that happens though, I'll focus on the G1 reissues.
Congrats!

Yep, Congrats!
Looks very nice. I wouldn't worry about the insert if I was you, just keep that thing out of sunlight.

I want the insert that holds the figure in place when put in the box, so I can display it mib. I've seen some repros, maybe I'll get that for my loose wheeljack I already have.

Congrats on the new and (almost too) shiny figure!
I only have a very beat up Wheeljack, but he (like so many G1 figures) has so much character in him!

You're thinking about it wrong -- you have a Wheeljack with authentic battle-damage!

Mines more like a "Post Autobot City Battle" Wheeljack!

Nice grab. Once I'm able to obtain expendable income, I'm going for a boxed Omega Supreme.

I think I had a wheeljack sometime when I was young. I dont know how I got it since I was born in 91. think it was from my older sibling.
Congrats though.

Congratulations!
I think the only hope for me to get a Wheeljack is the upcoming Chinese KO....

I'll probably be getting that KO too.

G1 Wheeljack is one of the rarest figures. I've never even seen him in real life!

Very fast shipping, I got it today.
The figure is really loose for some reason. I have 3 other wheeljacks and none of them are this loose. But it doesn't matter, this one is fricking bright, unchipped, perfect with no stickers applied. The box is a little beat up, but most g1 boxes aren't in this good of condition, the only major drawback is that the plastic window was coming off, so I glued it. I'm not some master collector here even though I'm crazy to drop 150 bones on one toy. I just wanted a Wheeljack with no labels applied, and a wheeljack box, and I got them both and I'm happy.
Thanks everyone.

I guess you are aiming higher than a job in a supermarket inorder to get that?

No idea.
But:
1: He's an early tf (which makes him expensive).
2: He's from a mold that wasnt takara's (means short run compaired to some others and or no reuse of the mold or reissues, which makes him expensive).
3: He was large (which makes him expensive).
4: He had a LOT of bits (which makes him expensive).
5: He had electronics that were very good at dieing (which makes him expencive).
6: And of course any tf boxed is expensive.
