http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:ITAll of this guys auctions did amazingly well. Free shipping in states pays off I guess!
I was all over trying to get this arcee for a while. I lost one auction in the last seconds for a black takara arcee and the wonderfest with free shipping went for $122.00 bucks! he sold the black for 60+ and wonderfest for $381.00 jeez!!!!! I know it's cool but man! Lawson Bee brought 115.00ish.
So any reason for the spike in price??? Damn... now i'll just forget about getting her! ahhh.

That doesn't really fit my logic, but I guess MISB means a world to alot of people.

I can't put my head around 400 bones for that figure!
I know we've had the misb discussion... I have almost all mine still sealed and a small portion opened. That's what two young boys will do . haha. I think every figure opened is missing a part!

Man, Wonderfest Arcee is on my list too. I wonder how much a loose one would go for? Not that I ever see them for sale anyway.

That is a $70 loose, $100 carded, toy on an expensive day. I smell shill bidding.

Hmm. How often do they show up on eBay? I don't think I've ever seen one.

You see one ever 3 or 4 months. Bodhar had a loose one for $99 that didn't sell about two months ago.

Wait wait. She went for that much just because she's from Japan and in G1 colors?

Yup. This figure should not be that much. This was a mistake or shil or something.

Amazing. I wouldn't give someone $10 for that mold, let alone close to $400.
As for the auction itself, shill bidding is a distinct possibility. Especially considering that other one went for around $250 (which ist still ludicrous). Of course it could have simply been some movie completists bidding against each other. Bidding wars are not uncommon for rare and unusual items.

Hmmm?
I'm not sure what you're getting at? Are you suggesting these are worth that price?

I don't know... I like the figure but the head sculpt is ugly!
I beleive it's worth whatever people are willing to bring.. but i've watched them for about a year seen one sit for 6 months buy it now best off 199.99 which is ridiculous considering I just lost black arcee and g1 wonderfest for combined 122.00 buck! I personally Like the Lawson Bee and the Clear takara Protoform Prime and Starscream. I would've like to have her to go with the other G1 movie colored toys. (Prime, starscream, jazz, ratchet ect)
Where's a RED Ironhide!

You would have thought that would be a no-brainer. I can only assume that they didn't want a red truck getting mixed up with OP by consumers?
