I just bought a couple of Transformers at my faveorite vintage toy shop and id like your opinions on the pricei paid :

he is as you see him no weapons

and the other is movie scorponok I paid $6.99 for him here are a coulple of pics:


he has abit of a bend inthe soft pastic of his tail spike but it is otherwise in excellent condition

no boxes for either figure , so did I get good deals?

You payed a little too much for Scorpy IMO, but that Sludge looks to be in pretty good condition, and since the mold is "missing" I'd say it was a fair deal.

I wouldn't say you got a bad deal. I'd say you did good.

I agree a little. But if it's a G1 toy you've been looking for, then it's a good deal, because he looks to be in decent shape. And I like to see someone get scorpy cheaper than 7 with shipping. He is still available at TRU with blackout still though.

Agreed. Without the accessories, a good Sludge body is $20-$30. The accessories will cost you around $20 to complete it.

As I was scrolling down I thought, "I hope he got some of the weapons for that price." Oh well, it's in good shape so I'm happy if you are.

Also, post a wanted thread in Junkion and I bet you find Sludge's weapons for a fair price.

Too much for sludge. $20 for him w/o accessories sounds about right.

No big deal. You're find toys that some people are practically giving them away for free later on. All in all, everything evens out.
