You'd certainly need to be on it to spend that much.

An absolutely CRAZY price, especially as two of those packs saw release here in the UK. They were on sale for a pittance in most toy stores.
The others... All depends on how much you like Robot Heroes. And how that Lottery win is working out for you.

Nice set of figures. Except that there were a few eBay auctions for the unreleased sets (and more than a few for the released and carded two packs with Tigatron and Predaking). And (admittedly loose) they seldom went above the low $100s even with regard to Laserbeak and Prowl.
Even now, you can get a Tigatron and Inferno, or Ricochet and Predaking set MIB easily for under $100. So $1500 for two robot heroes on a card? Pass. $600 would be a lot more realistic.

The only set I'd consider paying more than retail for would be the Super OP/Megatron from RID. And by that I mean maybe $20. Seller is loco in the coco.
Family Guy'd for your convenience.

dumb. Dony transform or nothing. BS auction. There are better holy grails than that. $6000 would get you some pretty nice rare items like Grand Maximus, Metrotitan, Guard City, Battle Gaea, and the list goes on. Damn you could snatch up some lucky draw items. This auction is pure fail.

Wow,i'd have a hard time justfying paying retail prices for these.
I'd never pay $6,000 for them.
I honestly don't care how rare these robot heroes are. I don't buy TF toys based off secodary market profits. When I buy a newer or older TF toy,I have to trully love the design/character & it must be a well made toy. it must also meet my desired TF toy buying preferences.
I wasn't a fan of the robot heroes because they weren't that poseable. they reminded me of the 2 inch smurfs PVC figures. If i was into something like this,then I'd get the Takara SFC PVC's.

i wasnt a fan of these but i would've bought the sharkticon. Sad thing about this is we all know some moron out there is going to buy it and think they have something special when they dont. Yeah its a collectors market but they are still just cheap plastic on cardboard that dont do anything. For 6 grand you can buy a car, a few old cars, a kick ass entertainment system, pay your bills, buy a bunch of steaks, get a tank of gas, higher a high price escort, put it in the bank or stock market and make more money, so many better thing to do with 6 grand then spend it on lumps of plastic. Hell if you really want to wast 6 grand on figures go and buy a bunch of lots off ebay or just go to the store every week and buy crap their, 6 grand will last you a while. People really need to pull their head out of their ass every now and then.

Wow, these replies are interesting. Surely the 6-set isn't worth 6 grand -it's maybe worth 600-1000 at most- but those are unreleased figures, and the Deathsaurus pack surely looks good!

I own quite a bit of the Robot Heroes (mainly the G1) and after awhile I realized by looking at the backs of the packaging I was missing a few. I didn't realize that some just didn't get released.
It's a shame, because these figures have a neat look to them. I started picking them up because they were relatively cheap and I wanted to have a bunch of display items for my old cubicle. I would love to get my hands on the Predaking, but this overall "find" and set price is just ridiculous.

It looks like he took each package and made them separate auctions, starting at $225/ea. Still crazy, but not as INSANE as $6k!
