    I thought it would be nice to share this crazy awesome trade I just got. I traded a War For Cybertron Optimus Prime, Fall Of Cybertron Starscream, and Dark Of The Moon Battle Hooks Optimus Prime for G1 Bruticus (messed up Blastoff), G1 Stunticons, and G1 Computron. What a deal! Post some great deals you have had too below!

    Back during the summer of the original (2007) movie coming out, I got a boxed version of the unreleased Diaclone triple changer (the one that goes from robot to jet to helicopter) for 3 bucks on ebay.

    That's right. 3 bucks.

    50 bucks for the G1 Platinum Predaking reissue last christmas was a sweet deal.

    I usually never get any sweet deals, but I lucked out. It was only 1 day on Amazon IIRC.

    Felt pretty awesome last year when I got a loose and complete 2007 movie Bonecrusher for 7 bucks. Tight joints and the sticker was in min condition. I know he can go for a lot more than 7 bucks...so quite a deal!

    Got a prototype of the Unicron trilogy PAC hotshot figure for 40 bucks. Sadly I don't care for the Unicron trilogy I just wanted to say that I own a prototype.

    Getting $226.62 worth of Transformers for free due to a glitch on the HTS site back in July 2011.

    Now paying wise, getting a huge box of Beast Wars figures for $20 in 2013. What I didn't need, I got $50 for from a local collector shop.

    Back when MP Skywarp was out I managed to buy about 4 of him for $9.00 apiece at Walmart,so a savings of $50 apiece so that would be about $200 savings.Can anyone else beat that?

    I ordered a FP Steelcore and Prime Ratchet off of Masterforce UK. But it turned out that FP Steelcore was put on by accident so they refunded me and sent me the Ratchet for free.


    Morg is awesome.

    Wouldn't really call it a deal though. But still.

    Getting RTS Jazz for £5.99 (the same I paid for RTS Windcharger BTW) at The Entertainer Wakefield. Probably my best on the value+quality front TF purchase,
    though I guess I should still be grateful for finding the only MP Grimlock at TRU Bradford for the £69.99 shelf price (to remember now that, at the time,
    I thought I'd paid over the odds!).

    4 or 5 years ago...I won an ebay auction that was listed as something like "1980's robot airplane". There was one horrible, blurry pic of a G1 Jetfire...
    I won the auction for $40 shipped, and this is what I got in the mail...

    [​IMG]

    Last year, I commissioned a repro box from a fellow member here...

    The only other deal I've gotten better than this was finding a complete Thunderwing Pretender in a box full of Hot Wheels at a garage sale for $0.25.

    Some of my custom Bayverse figures (such as a custom DOTM Leader Megatron and a frogDNA Leader Starscream) I've managed to obtain at very decent prices. Megatron alone cost about $800 when he was first made (according to the eBay auction information); I paid about half that (bought secondhand). Starscream was even less.

    I got a MISB RTS Lugnut for $28 shipped from the UK.

    Two years ago, I ordered Cybertron Galvatron for $40. It was missing the spike weapon, tire gun, the rear wings, and the missiles but I borrowed some from Megatron. I'm still looking for them in case anyone wants to sell them.

    Just recently I got WFC Megatron, WFC Soundwave, FOC Sideswipe, and FOC Air Raid for $43 shipped. Megatron alone goes for $20-50 on here and eBay.

    Bought a G1 Japan Hardspark for $7.
    Finding an MISB G1 Kickback in 1992 when G2 came out was an awesome find.

    A friend who sent boxes of toys he didn't want over for free. Can't beat free.

    Originally intended to use his unwanted stuff for custom fodder, but the majority ended up displayed on the shelf because I liked them too much.
