I mean, come on! $600-$700 range, OK but this makes me realize how I'm not as hardcore of a collector as I thought I was.

I don't think I'll ever be that hardcore.

Really cool, but NOT worth $2000. $400. Tops.

I guess you were a little off as to what it was worth? lol, it ended at $4065.00 shipped!!!

Whoever makes these is set for life. They found there nich and are a pro at it. Wish I had the talent. Sell a couple dozen a year and live the good life.

Somewhere, a TakaraTomy executive has committed harakiri for allowing somebody else to design and charge 4 large for an MP Blitzwing figure.

are we talking a I-Gear style produced figure, or another custom? a little more details might get you some real answers.

If it's a classics-sized, deluxe/voyager figure - 150 tops. If it's an eBay one-of-a-kind custom, 350. Anything bigger and I pass.

I don't have that kind of money to spend on a toy. Now, if I did, then maybe the concept of me being "hardcore enough" would come into play. But if there's no possible way you could afford something, not sure it matters whether you'd be willing to pay you for it. It's like suing a company worth $50,000 for $1,000,000 because the spilt some coffee on your hand.

If I paid that much for it, I'd never touch it....so it wouldn't be worth it for just that to me. If I can't feel like I can enjoy it, then it's not worth it.
