I love the classics skyfire/jetfire mold and was thinking about hunting for a Botcon 2007 Dreadwind. I was wondering what everyone thought a good/fair price to pick him up for would be? I've never really gone after botcon exclusives before and there are only a handful on ebay, so I didn't know if they were significantly marked up or if that was the current going rate (~$140 shipped). Thanks!
It's a great mold and my favorite out of the Botcon exclusives. I think around 90-110 would be the going rate, at least from what I've seen. Keep watching the junkion exchange and ebay. You'll see one for a good price.
that sounds about right, or maybe 100-120. what i usually do is first search the junkion if anyone is selling and then look for completed auctions on ebay for that item to get a general idea of what they are going for. such as...... http://completed.shop.ebay.com/item...acatZ2479QQ_sopZ12QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em283
WOW that is expensive. I picked mine up at Botcon '08 for $50. no data card though, but i dont care about that crap. It was still twisty tied to the plastic tray.
I'd pick him up now, he seems to be the only mold not being henkei'd by takara so I reckon his stock is on the up
I got one off Ebay last month for around $70, it's just a matter of being patient and looking for a good deal.
Well, the jetfire/skyfire mold was henkei'd, but rmember Dreadwind wasn't a Japanese character. I think Buster would be an awesome recolor though.
Ended up plucking one off ebay for under $90 -- I reallylike this guy. He did come with a real small paint chip/scratch on the side of his canopy (might have happened in shipping or might just be a poor manufacturing process - i dunno - he was supposed to be mint) that I would love any advice on fixing for those who may have experience painting/modding. But overall I am glad I got him .. he goes well with my hasbro skyfire and treadbolt. I may pick up henkei skyfire just to complete the set
