    The ice magnus is almost non existent. 100 of them were made, and i have only seen him for sale 2 times. passed on one for 700 and then the one yahoo went for 3k. really kicking myself in the ass for passing on the 700 one though.

    I have that in a AFA 9.0U graded case. I don't remember why or where I got it. It came in a white plain box so I just sent it in the white box. Never even touched it. I don't know, mabye I got it for someone else for a trade or somthing. I don't get figs graded but since it came in the white box, I just went for it. Ill email the pics to someone if you want to post photos of it.

I am asking because I saw one on EBAY going for about $190, if I remember correct... Also, one was priced close to $500... Just wondering, because if I do decide to let him go I dont want rip no one off... Thanks for the help...

    I got him off ebay like 4 years ago for like $70 something. Getting the MISB Bruticus was more important to me. But Dragon, if u get like an insane price for him, send an Apple magic trackpad my way! HA.

    $300, maybe? That one on eBay seems overpriced to me.

    Since this thread has popped back up, and I was the OP, I now just want to cry.

    Just to add to the wonderful information everyone else provided, from the same article, this is present as well: "Both the small robot head and the larger Sentinel Maximus head were given new tooling." Armada Overload saw a handful of repaints, but this is the only retool that I know of. It's a cool one to boot.

    Your siggy is looking at me, demanding that I get you one, but I don't have one. I defy the ORIO! Rawr!

    I'm almost certain that collectthem's meaning to say that he has the Crystal Magnus from Japan TRU DX Magna Convoy giftset. :D

    Yes, it's the one and only remold the toy ever got. All the rest are Armada Overload's tooling.

    Dayum did'nt know he was worth so much now.
    It's an awesome frankenstein looking mold. Anyone who can triplechange into a giant cannon is winwin.

    The SM version seems to have the best paint job of them all. Only have Overload & the Ultra Magnus repaint. Love em tho.

    Just moved my Sentinel Maximus to my Classics shelf. I know he's not a "Classic" character, but he fits in with how I'm theming the shelves.

    The other 3 versions of the mold I have (Ultra Magnus, Overload and Costco Overload) have just been moved as well.
