    it being from the MB line and MiB does make it rare but given its a minor packing change I dont think he will find a buyer at least not from your average MIB G1 collector

    An MB Megatron should not be commanding that kind of price at all, not even half of that. It's uncommon but among MB Transformers it's not one of the rarest and I've seen a few MIB unused ones. Plus that one's not even graded yet in order to achieve the ridiculous prices they go for.

    All the best

    Thanks for your input Maz...
    I wasn't completely certain since the TF market on ebay has changed in recent years.

    Its in a Milton Bradley box. There may be some other differences from the US version. Unfortunately, like the US version it doesn't have the orange tip to the gun that eBay requires.

    The Milton Bradley TFs were release in 85 in Europe. Some were made in France.

    It should be stamped MADE IN FRANCE as these were being made in Ceji's Strasbourg or Bunde factories in Europe, more than likely Strasbourg as they are France stamped.

    Simply the best source for MB Transformers information in the world:
