    I'm looking to get blaster and wondering what a good deal on him would be. I've mostly seen prices ranging from $130-$150 any help would be fantastic.

    Oooo that seems pretty high. From what I've seen, he's more in the $80-$100 range.

    That sounds much more reasonable. Are those mostly ebay prices?

    There are a few on eBay right now, $85 is the lowest and the highest is $105. That's not including shipping.

    I got mine from Toywiz I think for $80-something, but I think they've jacked the price up since then (if it's even in stock at the moment).

    I've yet to see one online for less than $80, though I haven't looked much since I picked up mine toward the end of last year. Even eBay hasn't had one that low while I've looked, and occasionally I can find expensive stuff for decent prices on there if a particular auction doesn't get much attention.

    I would just purchase the original G1 or hope for an Encore release. There is a good chance since we already have a G1 Soundwave the upcoming cassettes reissues.

    i'd say anything under $90 is a decent deal for one misb. i assume we're talking about tfc#21 blaster? was he on a limited run or something when he was initially released cause he might be the toughest tfc reissue to find other than prime? seems like there aren't that many out there at all.
