I'd like to get one too and haven't seen him on e-bay lately to determine the latest value.  | |

Using google though, you can find some links to recent ones that haven't expired yet (like google for "site:ebay.com thunderwing", without the quotes, and view cached results). It seems some, some missing a gun or two, went for $75 or so. A complete one went for $95. Those prices are sane, I think. But he really doesn't show up much - and I couldn't find any threads here selling them with a price attached. I don't think people sell much (damn you Furman!).
I saw 1 complete at Botcon, for $225. It sold in about 10 minutes.
The one I bought, with beat-up box and paperwork, I paid $190 for it. So yeah, I overpaid. I almost almost almost always search for very good deals, and get them, so I allowed myself to splurge a little. It's odd - the one I bought won't show up in completed auctions. I thought store listings still showed.

Wow. Guess I didn't overpay after all. $170, no box, with a little over a day left.
