Hey guys. I recently picked up a Cliffjumper decoy while at a vintage toy store in Maryland. Ebay has most of the decoys around $2-3 bucks, so I assume they're not worth anything phenomenal in terms of the resale market.
Do the decoys really capture anybody's interest in a major way? Are they worth holding on to? Does anyone collect them as part of their "themed collection?"
...and does anybody really want to trade for my Cliffjumper decoy? I don't really want/need/have an interest in him.

Always thought they were pretty cool, in that M.U.S.C.L.E. sorda way
Guess there's a bunch of chase and rare versions.
Anyone have a Decoy checklist with pics? 
Don't look at my stuff!! Which is

Ravage seems to be a good one to get. The japanese giftsets are the most sought after i would say, not real sure though.  home of 1000+ TF's and over 1000 pics!

If I ever really run out of other stuff to shop for maybe...

Collection Count: Over 1000 | I don't know about them being woth a lot, however I think they are cool little side items to TFs. I have the three japanese gift sets of the decoys and they are my favorite non transforming vintage stuff.
