    Finally mounted my coin collection! Spaces reserved for Thundercracker, Clamp Down, Road Rage, and Unite Wars Devastator. I used a 3M double-sided adhesive and placed it so that most of them can still open/slide, which I think is a pretty cool gimmick.

    I was talking to an eBay seller who claimed that his friend had an MP-23 coin with no packaging but they would want a lot for it. I asked how much, they responded "a lot, make an offer" so I offered $150 and got no response. I waited a week or so and messaged them again and they said that their friend had already sold it for over $2000 USD.

    Never got a picture or any other confirmation and also never got the actual owners information to talk to them directly, so take that with a million grains of salt.

    NICE! I like that you can still open them!

    As soon as MP Tracks arrives with his coin I'll post a pic of my display.

    lol Yep! When I got that message I thought, "This is a joke."
    Then I thought, "Well, if it's not a joke then I hope it was some group who plans on making replicas at a reasonable price for us to buy them."

    But reality is that was probably all just a bunch of BS this guy was feeding me.

    Here's how I am displaying the coins. I've gone the shadow box route to hopefully save space.

    So far, I have 32 MP & UW coin + 1 MP Plate that have been released (Including the MP-01L & MP Grimlock coin)

    I'm sure I will be getting all the new coins coming out as well. This is a neat little side collection.

    Cross-posting from the MP appreciation thread, a heads up for those interested. I have the Asian MP souvenir coins up for sale. Each is $10 shipped worldwide. One is Lambor (Sideswipe) & the other is G2 Bumblebee coin.

    I'm looking for the UW-04 Devastator coin, usually I can find these on e-bay but this one for some reason has not been posted.

    SAME. If you do a search on completed listings there was one, but looks like that's it. Don't know why this one is not widely available...

    Just before I received my UW Devastar, I was keeping tabs on the coin on eBay just in case mine didn't come with one. Mine came with one, so I just stopped searching. I'd imagine there would be some auctions available, but you'd just have to stay on top of looking each day. Perhaps try the Friend's Lounge and/or Junkion?

    Exhaust's lack of coin is infuriating....

    I am looking for both UW-03: Guardian aka Defensor and UW-04: Devastator coins. However, I am not seeing any being sold on the local scene as well. Hoping to have some luck in the next weeks.

    I feel ya on Exhaust, but at least I feel satisfied knowing it was never actually "released" so the craze to find one hasn't been there for me. I'm way more annoyed about the UW Devastator one and Cybertron Con 2012 Universal Studios one that someone posted about a few pages back. I've found some listings for the whole package, but I'm not paying $300 when all I want is the damn coin.

    Has anyone ever even seen an auction for the Exhaust coin? I imagine since one surface, that means they must've had a production run, not like 5 of them but hundreds at the least.

    Cool! I had no idea he came with a coin.
