If anyone is looking for a C-16 Lio Convoy, this seller is selling a set of 2 MISB for a buyitnow price of $95

I picked up two from her today, and she told me she had more.

Here is the listing, the price is a steal at less than $50 per Lio Convoy, the auction is for two even though there is only one in the pic. I am thinking Zemper should dig this.

thanks Sid, but i am perfectly content with my one and only Lio Convoy. now if she had a black version however...

and yes, i truly agree with you. 45 bucks a pop is a freakin' steal, especially for a non-Flash (original) variant. go get this before it disappears in smoke guys.

How did I ever get away with paying 9 bucks for mine? Of course, it's opened now.

I'd rather have a peice of crap from a flea market then pay 95 bucks for 2 Tf's. Seriously, I don't care how rare, that's not so good when I can get G1's for a buck.

heh I just PMd you Zemper, you were the first one I thought of after I bought 2 for myself.

Sweet deal anyway you look at it, the seller actually called me and after talking she threw in a shadow panther as well.

ooook, noone is forcing you or anything. Congrats on your fleamarket bots, jeez.

I know A LOT of collectors who would jump at a chance to own a lio convoy this cheap, how about you dont **** all over the gesture? Thanks.

I'm not, I'm just saying, it's not like I'm trying to turn you away, it's just that 95 dollars could go towards other Tfs. Obviously some people are a little protective, really, it's one opinion. Sheez.

A friend of mine has a MISB of that very figure and he's offering it to me for $50. And by friend I mean IRL friend so there's no need for shipping. Guess its a good deal then?

you can always sell the other one if you don't like doubles i guess. but lots of guys here would love to get their hands on this one, and Sid's doing a service to all members here.

and i don't care how much you got your LC (i got mine bundled with BW2 Galvatron for less than $30 thank you), i tell you, this is a steal. and besides, we only have 2 definitive versions of LC anyway, this one and the Robot Masters version. search for the RM version and you can see that it's price is jacked up almost like the original one. so yeah, this is a steal alright.

You forgot classics Lio convoy. A legends figure worthy of a shredder.

Not that I am at all interested in getting into some kind of flameoff here but I cant understand your sentiment.

I go out of my way to save fellow seibertronians some money and someone like you feels compelled to dump on the deal? I dont care if you like the deal, this is for my fellow collectors who have been seeking out a MISB C-16 Lio Convoy which is harder and harder to find today.

I know I have been looking for him at a reasonable cost for months, wanted to share the wealth y'know? Thats great that you are satisfied with fleamarket G1 castoffs, I dont collect that way, and I know many of the members on this board dont collect that way either.

Anyway, going against my own rules here for taking the bait but it is simply obnoxious when a member shits on something for no reason at all.

Since you seem to be unaware of it, your comment was rude, dude. It is not what you said, but how you said it. Tone makes the difference.

And I seriously doubt you are getting G1 figures around the same size and condition as the Lio Convoys for a dollar.

A lot of things are obnoxious, but do people still do it?
My point is, and I stand by the fact that 95 dollars is high. now, I can understand 50, maybe even 70, but that's only Buy it Now. 95 would make sense if its a bidding price, but it currently is not. MISB is fine and all, in fact I love it, but being the 14 year old I am, I have no where to put it all, so I open it, put the box in the attic and let it go. Anyhow...castoffs, may not be the word, some sctually come complete, and often mint.....minus Hound.....I shudder at that thing.

And, I have a reason, it's just price. More importantly, before I say more, I'd like a ration of it's rarity and the usual price, then I'll see if I accept this or not.

BTW, show me the rule that says "No opinions are allowed on this board."
Maybe then I'll shut up. Trust me, I'm one of the most stubborn people you'll meet, and you will never hear the end of it no matter how much this goes on, just saying.
(And no, that isn't a threat, it's (not a promise either) truth.)Just ask Sonray, he'll vouch for me.

Size, well, i'd like to know that. And, I have gotten mints, such as the midget Swindle, Kup, and Warpath. Tailgate as well, but he needed a wash. But, some flea markets have MISB ones, about 40-50 bucks. Some, obvioulsy not wortyh it, but others..heck yes.
And, I'm sorry about the tone, it's that my lack of smilrys makes it sound all dreary.

This turned ugly real quick...

Ah, now it makes sense, I wasnt aware I was being baited by a child. Nevermind my comments, I cant expect the same behaviour as I would from an adult. Matter closed.

Eitherway, I hope someone from the board jumps on the deal. C-16 Lio is only going to get harder to find sealed.

But...my question remains..how rare/price range?

QFT! I dont know what the hell happened, a thread like this is supposed to be a good example of posters helping posters.

I have been pointed towards great deals by other memebers, I like to return the favour.

Either way, long as you guys get first dibs before the scalpers scoop these up.

Oh, and yeah, I forgot to say, I don't think that it's matter, I highly doubt my attitude will ever change, I have anger issues..
Either way, if you're trying just to insult me, it worked, I take being called a child a HUGE insult. I'm more than happy to let this all go, but that kinda started it back up.


My bad on my huge use of D-Posts.

I got the 2 pack when it came out for $40 from a collectors shop that was going under.

It's opened now, but I often search for another 2 pack that I can keep preserved.

Is everything cool in here, or am I going to have to start busting some chops?

I heard there's a pileup in the Kitbash forum.

I will indulge you Sherade,

The auction is for two (count them TWO) MISB C-16 Lio Convoys with a buyitnow of $95 USD. Finding just one sealed for less than $70 on ebay is practically a miracle, BBTS recently came into some stock of these, listed them at $60 a pop and they were sold out almost instantly. Ebay bidding almost always hits the $100+ mark for one MISB.

Flash Lio Convoy and Nemesis Lio Convoy are much easier to find so dont confuse them, the voyager C-16 is the rarest of the three.

There, educated and hopefully more aware of how rude you were being.
Being quick to anger and stubborn over nothing isnt an endearing character trait, and being proud of it even less so.
