I saw that too lol.
I got Nightbird for $30 to his $250
Slipstream for $20 to his $30
And Arcee for $40 to his $80.
This year.

So his Slipstream seems fair. Nightbird is ridiculous.

 

Get Cliffjumper, another red minibot would be a good choice.

 

granted it's an old figure and it's scarce, but that's just insane!!!  

i got slipstream for $20, cliffjumper for $25 and mirage for $30, and those were NEW prices. she's no bigger than any of them, or engineered any more complex. and arcee, which is the same mold, is listed for $80 and i think that's pricey as it is. there's no way i could justify paying that kind of money for that one figure. CRAZY!!!!  

 

Even if I was prepared to spend a lot, I would certainly want to haggle down to halfway at that wide of a margin.

But, more specifically, I still agree that that is wack.  

 

gort posted some extremely high prices for his bots.

 

What a CUSTOM good job

 

im not feeling it i mourn for the skyfire who gave his life for this bot. some of his work looks great like his impactor and his lady bot stuff. but this looks super busy and amateur to me.

 

  sad cuz that's one less cygnus out there that could have filled the void of that figure in my collection.

 

That's a great custom! I am trying to do the same with Siege Jetfire to make an armor-up kit for the Warden core figure. Sadly, a junker Jetfire is not an easy find.

 

Looks like Netclow got some older IFs in but the prices are jacked up there too...Racing Bros.-$300, Cygnus-$200, Bridge Watcher-$150, and several others that are way up there.

 

Yikes looks like I'll never have Starscream at those prices... $200

I'll spray paint another jet first. LOL

 

If IF don’t reissue them, then perhaps, eventually they will remake them, like they’re doing with Soundwave.

 

I'm new to this, they made a Soundwave before? I'm thinking about hopping on the preorder train here, haha.

 

Original SW


New SW

 

Wow, that is...quite a difference! Might have to preorder this one then :O

 

And, once again, I’ve got to say that if IF won’t reproduce their old weapon accessory packs, then Mech Fans Toys should make some 1:1 reproductions of those old guns and missile pods.

 

So, I...went a little silly over 4th of July.

Bullet points: got into an IDW kick, found some pretty good prices on Iron Factory stuff I'd been missing.

In a couple of days, I closed the book on Blitzwing, Shockwave, Arcee, Windblade, Drift, Nova Prime, and Dai Atlas. Varying degrees of late tax, some not so bad at all, a couple hurt. But it was overall worth it for the feeling of happiness I got from having an almost-complete collection (by my own weird guidelines).

But then I thought, "Hey, how much happier would I be with an actually complete collection?"

So then I went and dropped an embarrassing amount of cash on these three jerks:



And it's...it's fine. It's fine. In a few months time, I'll just be happy to see them on the shelf, and won't even think about what I paid.

(Which I won't say what that was, but I will confirm that it was all less than the prices from that Facebook sales thread a few posts back. Some only a little less, but still, a dollar bill always looks as big to me as a bedspread.)

 

wow those 3 pack a big wallop on the wallet
