    What do you guys consider a fair price for the Animated 2 Pack Jetfire and Jetstorm, loose and complete with the comic book in good condition?

    I'm seeing different prices all over the place.

    I would've said about original retail.

    Retail to a bit under if it is loose.

    I paid $21 + $5 shipping for mine a month ago and it came with the box and instructions (but no comic).

    For Safeguard, you're far better off just waiting for a seller to put one up for auction with a low starting bid because that's your chance to get one cheap. A lot of the BIN prices are pretty high.

    In general, Safeguard's prices have been going up little by little.

    It seems he averages out at right now at anywhere from $20 - $25 loose if you get a good auction, so I wouldn't pay more than $25 for him.

    I bought my loose set for between $10 and $15; no comic, but included instructions.

    Okay. I'm just debating what price to set mine at for selling.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
