What was the best deal you ever got for a Transformer? Mine was $30 for a complete R.I.D Galvatron with Instructions included. Yours?
Mine is Classics Skywarp Magnus related to, got it for $64. I think thats good, though I may be wrong lol.
Road Caesar Complete for $200 Star Saber for $60 Star Convoy reissue for $50 Lio Convoy vs. Galvatron for $75 Current best deal: G1 Jetfire complete with all armour and gun clip for $60 I really work on getting good deals.
$35 for Energon Omega Sentinel complete at Botcon 2008. Also got OATFUCK Megazarak for $40. Wish I had bought the Sentinel Maximus for $75 though when I had the chance...
There's been quite a few awesome deals I've received that it's hard to name one. I'm going to go with my most recent deal in which I acquired TM2 Dinobot, Depthcharge, and Rampage for $40 shipped. Besides some missing missiles, guns, etc. I was extremely happy with the deal the seller gave me.
I never had a Fort Max growing up (didn't know it existed), so when i really got back into transformers, i set out assembling one on my own. I started in about 2004 and it continues to this day, I'm almost done. But this isn't your normal make-your-own Fort Max story. It has another edge: I wanted to spend about $100 tops on parts, excluding shipping. The main body was quite a steal. After a little cleaning, it is in Display-quality condition. The white is a little yellowed, but not much at all. I snagged that for about $35 back in 2004 of Ebay. The biggest win though was Cerebros. I got a lot that had Cerebebros (sans spike), A good condition Scorponok body, some Ultra Magnus pieces, and and some misc junk toys on Ebay back in 2004 from a seller who had no idea what they were selling. Cerebros was mis-transformed and behind Scorponok's claw in the picture, so it was kind of hard to tell what it was unless you looked carefully. So I ended up getting this part of Fort Max (along with everything else), that goes for at least $100 on Ebay today, for $5. Yes, $5. I spent like $25 on shipping, but still... my fort max has an awesome quality head for $5. All he needs now is a Spike. And getting that for about $15 (how much I have left till I hit $100) is going to be damn hard.
Oh another good one. I got a few weeks ago a lot of 12 loose Classics/Universe/RTS that had pretty hard to find and expensive ones like Ironhide, Dinobot and Silverstreak for $130. Considering it isnt uncommon for Ironhide to go for $50+shipping, i'd call that a steal. Averaging near or below retail price for 12 high-demand figures, 2 years late is pretty good.
I got the Kiss Play Cassettes at Botcon 2010 for $15 MIB. In December, I got an MISB Superion add-on set for free. -Silvershot
First one that comes to my mind is a couple years ago when I bought a MISB SDCC Alternator Rodimus and Titanium Menasor from a seller on eBay for $60. I was the only bidder.
£2 for a TFA Blitzwing on eBay. All because the seller hadn't bothered to transform him properly in the photo, so he looked broken. Best gamble I ever took, too.
Aside from free stuff, I think my best deal would be... Premium Barricade from the 7.77 deal at Walmart. I don't get too many "deals." Or I can't remember them. But man, Premium Barry's got one of the most gorgeous alt modes I can think of. Until TF: Prime Knock Out comes along.
Armada Unicron w/Dead End for 35 bucks. Classics Ramjet and Energon Sharkticon for 15 shipped. Those would have to be the best deals I've ever got for Transformers.
