has anyone seen this collection on ebay?

I must be missing something. I don't see how this lot is worth $8500.00. Other than those japanese exclusives and the g1 repaints, what else has much value over retail cost? Not trying to be critical just curious.

" Deposit of $1500.00 due within 72 hours of auction end and full payment must be recieved within 7 days of auction end. "

Were do you get shipping is 1500 from that... ??????????

anyway grimlock1972 here is your response.

Yes most of the toys are not upp in any value and are at retail value still. But you have to seeit like this. If you were to want to collect the movie toys MISB or buy new ones to open yourself (some ppl like this) it would probably come close to what he wants.

1) You cant find most of these in stores anymore meaning you have to go to boards like this or online stores and probbaly ebay.

2) This will bring shipping into it, sure you could get some lot here and some lot there but most of the time it would be a couple of figs atthe time. all those shipping adds upp.

3) Yes I agree tosome extent the price might be a bit to high, dividing $8500/140 it would be abour 60 a piece. even taking away the shipping described in section 2) lets say $1000 It is still 7500/140 €53 a pice.

4)Then again for some it might be worth it. For me its not but it is not that overly overpriced. I think around 6000 would be a fair price if one wanted all the toys.

Cool. While I have all these (and those other eight!), it's neat to see them all like this.

I maintain this was a darn fine toyline. Hope they get top dollar for it.

WTH?

I'd have to agree even at say $50 a pop for every one of these pieces which most you can prolly still get at retail it would be $4200. This lot is WAY overpriced.

No way Jose. You can dig those out of eBay for much less.

ian your math is wrong. $50 a pop x 140+TF=$7,000. now include the fact theyre delivering it and u dont have to worry about UnitedPackageSmashers messing up your investment is it really waaaaay overpriced? AND its still a or best offer listing. at $30 a popx140TF=4200 and if anyone looks at ebay most of the ones u can get for $30 a piece with shipping is still deluxe class if u can get em for that in good condition or a lower class. voyager class and up can reach $50+ a piece with shipping. Im gonna have to go in the middle with $40 a piece and agree with the 6,000 with shipping is a good starting point. The fact that u dont have to go to 25+ different sellers to acquire the same collection is worth not having the headache wondering if each package will make it safely to your doorstep. i hope they get top dollar as well and im actually stunned that they would even offer to sell it after as much time it seems they put into collecting them all and being soo close.

i think there was some miscommunication. the seller did change from 1500.00 shipping to free shipping. it wasnt listed the way it is now. Ive seen it for 2 weeks and seen the price drop from 12,500.00 with 1500.00 for shipping to what it is now. looks like theyve been shooting high and not getting any bids and now trying to adjust to see if they can get anyone interested. i bet by this weekend the price will probably drop again. i bet they end up selling it for all for 5 or 6k if they sell it at all.

okay i wasn't seeing things

Movie toys are not worth that much at all.... I can still hit CVS, Walgreens, and TRU in Austin to find most of those toys STILL. no way thats worth whats he is asking. Maybe if he threw in ROTF toys as well

occasionally i can find some where im at in dollar stores or walgreens and found quite a few legends all spark battles i picked up for 5 bucks at a family dollar a few months back but ive never seen deluxe or larger class. sounds like austin had a surplus of 07 toys while everyone else in the country got shorted! when you say MOST can u really get at least HALF which is 70 of the ones listed? if thats the case i might have to pay u to pick me up a few items!! =) just shoot me a price and what u think would be fair for your time to aquire, pack and ship all of that!
