    do you think the value goes way down i mean i thought i saw people on ebay asking like 1300.00 to 1600.00 for black zaraks with major broken parts what do you think i paid 2000.00 how much value will i lose on it with the shield still working but gold peg broke an glued back into place an a couple other spots were chipped other then that the toy is totally unused brand new

    In my opinion mate, you are unforuntately looking to sing their tune for the lower $1000's. i remember your quest and i'm really glad you've found him in the condition that you wanted him. its such a shame that it broke on you. i know many owners wont even touch the accessories because of that issue.

    personal value is one thing, resell value is another.
    we can all agree that BZ is damn hard to find............... in the condition you found him in and IMO you certainly paid a correct amount at the highest end.

    the problem for you mate is that id say about 75% of the year there is a BZ on ebay with a wicked box, unapplied etc. but with some GPS going betweem 1300-1600USD. thing is though, they're not actually moving.
    we seem the same one relisted for months on end. if you are thinking about a resell, imo, you're not going to get what you paid. its an extremely sad fact about BZ being that he is the most delicate transformer that i know about.

    personally i'd give my left arm for a BZ in your current condition but i'm afraid that there is a choice of a few i could choose from.
