Can't seem to find the going price for the Reissue Megatron D-16S it's $107 shipped, $21 for shipping, did I get a good deal or no?

yeah not bad, when I first picked it up i think I paid $150 before shipping...this was when it 1st came out of course and there wasn't the Book reissue that comes with all the extra goodies...If I would have know about it, I would have waited but that was year down the road.

I think that is a great price. I bought my two reissues of him for $65 each. So a $20 mark up this many years later is damn good. The bookstyle version set me back around $80 I believe.

Thanks LP, it is a reissue, the seller has no idea that it's not the original G1 release, unless you mean the re-release-reissued Megatron#6 bookstyle.

What's the normal going price for this particular set these days?

What I meant is that you got a good deal if Megatron is not going to be reissued. However, IMO if the toy has no visible "damage" to the chrome and is still shiny, and all parts intact - you got a very decent/good deal! Unless you wanted Megs MISB! LOL!

As for ths particular reissue Megatron, he easily goes over US$100, even in my country. But from my observation the "book reissue" version is worth more because of the "book reissue" series - know what I mean?

Point to note - some of my local import shops are still insisting that G1 Megs will still be "reissued" but for Asia only and the pre-order price is around US$50.

However, I must add a disclaimer - I seriously don't know if this is true or the "reissues" are simply Japanese toy companies simply "dumping" stocks after finding excess Megatrons in some long forgotten warehouses...

If they do end up re-release the reissues (say that 5 times fast), I would pick one up for $50
