I been watching a lot of G1 Primes on ebay and want to get one out of the box but in nm-m condition with all of its weapons and parts. What do you guys think I should pay (at most) for one before shipping?

by **Bonger** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 2:44 pm

I'd say you should be able to swing a complete one for 75-100.

Ok cool, thanks. :grin:

by **R-Burst** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 2:52 pm

well, some would go for something UNDER 200, but, id say around 50-200.

I've seen shops selling them beyond 200 bucks. For MISB, even beyond 300 bucks.

MISB for 300 bucks would he the deal of the decade.

I've seen MISB, not even AFA graded, go on ebay for 2 grand plus.

I think i'm gonna have a heart attack. Aackk...! :shock:

LOL, I had a heart attack when you said you saw him for 300. It had to have been an open box or a reissue.

That i don't know. But not reissue. It's a toy shop. Not internet.

The box is a bit yellowish. some slight dents. But the toy looks untouched.

Why not getting the Encore prime? It's the same as the original, right?

Nope. A couple of differences, plus, it is not a G1, it is a reissue.

What are the differences?

by **mechajol** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 4:33 am

back in 1997, i got an MISB optimus prime on sale for around $10. original price was around $15.

there were 4 other primes, and i still kick myself thinking why i didn't get them all.

the primes i saw all had damaged boxes. i got the one with the most complete box.

opened it up, and played with my new G1 prime

too bad i lost the instruction sheet (the pages were all stuck together)

here's a review of the prime i got-

The big ones are the autobot symbol on the shoulder is stamped and not a sticker and roller is silver and not one of the colors released here.

Here is a list of all varaints. You can compare them to the Encore.
