    The items are coming from a hardcore transformers collector, so the stuff is as good as you are going to find. One of the figures I bought had a bad leg, but it was MISB so I chalk that up to bad manufacturing. A few of the minibots I bought were a little dusty, but nothing major.

    It seems like we are getting into the obscure and less desirable figures from here on out. MISB and figures with all accessories are probably going to be rare. Unless Max is holding out for one last big auction.

    The collection have not ran out yet? And I thought I was late to the party.

    I don't usually chase exclusives, but damn that Artfire is sexy.

    The collection is nowhere near running out, but there will be a higher proportion of more recent pieces in future auctions. I'm pretty sure there's another Star Saber / Victory Leo pair, a Kronoform Attakon (Dia Attacker) and a Fort Max and Scorponok coming down the pike, plus a lot of mid-range G1 and media and merchandise.

    We also make efforts to complete purchases when we can... two pistols from a toy in wave 1 were found in a bin of accessories; they were shipped to the buyer in wave 3.

    Hoping this helps,

    The figures I've received have been in good-to-near mint condition, and that includes the G1's. A few loose joints here or there. The biggest problem was dust on the figures.

    Thanks for all the help, another stupid question. Is this the third auction or the fourth?

    I believe it's the fourth. Fifth? Probably fourth.

    I thought it was the third. Past auctions only include rounds 1 and 2. I guess 3 and 4 aren't available to browse? Just to see what I missed.

    Yeah it's odd that you can't see everything...

    I'm just going off of the fact that I've gotten three invoices and completely missed the first round...

    Yea I only saw the first two so was very curious. I was hoping that I hadn't missed a lot of the Beast Wars stuff. Has a large amount of it passed by already?

    Hi,

    It IS odd that you can't see everything...

    I've checked the spreadsheets, and this is the fifth wave. I don't think a lot of BW stuff has passed, but if there are specific pieces you're curious about, you're very welcome to PM me or ask in the thread and I'll look them up.

    Any hope that might change and we will have access to the auctions that have passed? Also I will follow your advice and PM about any specifics.

    Definitely some good deals were had. Looks like there was more action on this round. Word must be spreading. I eagerly look forward to the next round.

    I got RTS Jazz and Lugnut. Was hoping to get them cheaper, but they were still both below typical eBay prices, so I still feel like I got a good deal.

    I hate to admit, but I went off script on two items and really regretting it. Everything else went real well though.
