    I have one MIB, all paperwork, unapplied stickers. When I got it I think I was the first person to remove it from the Styrofoam. Sits in a container wrapped up to protect it, so thinking of selling it.

    Wow, that's pretty rare. Where did you get it?

    A vintage toy store in NYC many years ago.

    While I don't have an answer for you myself I'm sure that Maz might be able to help you out if you PM him or if/when he stumbles upon this thread.

    Didn't you make a post on here when you got it? I think I remember reading it way back when... just sitting on the shelf & they didn't know what they had? 2006-7ish? (Just curious if it's actually the thread I remember reading)

    I couldn't even give you a clue what it's worth, but I'm sure you have a huge bay day coming if you do sell it.

    Thanks. I see one on ebay now that is pretty high, but I'm not sure if that is accurate.

    Yes! Good memory.

    Since then it has just sat in a box, figure someone else could appreciate it.

    That is awesome! I've often wondered what ever happened to that figure, it was when I first became aware of it.

    ...I couldn't begin to make an offer, but if you settle on a price shoot me a PM. I'm saying I'd buy it for sure, but if the cards work out right who knows.

    EDIT: pretty sure it'll be out of my current price range, but if you don't mind sharing privately I'd be more than curious as to what a figure like that fetchs.

    Well, one sold on eBay a few days ago that looks to be in similar condition to yours by the way it looks for $1,774.86. That's all I got, I'll leave the rest to someone who's deals with Diaclone's.

    I saw that one (I figure being from Latvia may have hurt the price), there is one listed now for over $9000 (which I think is high).

    I was guessing $2500 range. I PMed Maz as you suggested.

    If it weren't for buying Grand Max & Black Zarak within the last week or so, I'd be doing some serious pacing trying to decide if I wanted to throw my hat in the ring.

    Hell I'd sell tickets for people to come see him lol.

    Haha just help?! I bet he'd buy it if the price was right, iirc its one of the few pieces he's never been able to get, at a reasonable price, when he was in the market for it at least, OMG I really want him to get one, cause I know he will do brilliant comparison pics with MP-23, when he writes about it

    So yeah, it's a good idea to PM him

    Ah, and OP has, excellent!

    It's not worth much... just part of your soul. Well it would be if Phillip Morris got involved. Wow. I guess that's worth a lot.
