    So I've been looking for this and the prime on card for a while now. I had no idea how valuable they were.:rolleyes2 

    Anyone else feel it's a bit much?

    That's a bit ridiculous... Packaging variations/repacks are almost never worth more than the original figure, especially 10 times more.

    Jesus. I mean, sure, finding them carded is rare, but those two were barely worth the retail price of the two-pack when it was available. No way in hell would I pay $300 for the pair, "rare" carded version or not.

    I'd like to get them, they're the last few items I need to complete classics, but there is no way I'm paying that much. Any joy I'd get from owning them would quickly dissipate when I remember how much I paid.

    Do you have a problem with the two-pack of them, or are you going for "one of everything, even repacks"?

    I have the two-pack, but I wanted the carded version for a curiosity and for completion-ism.

    I saw the Megatron in a comic shop once for £11.99.
    Never saw the Prime though.
    Neat idea, but the box set was nicer.

    Those two are still available at the local mall for 15 euros each. Which to choose, which to choose...

    Hey, if any of you euro tfw'ers are interested in helping a member out, I'd pay cost + shipping + a little more for your efforts. Or if there is an American release you are looking for, we can do a trade. I work at Target, and see a lot of stuff. Let me know.

    Thanks!

    I'd have totally had these by now, except... you know, Sector Seven being an utter fucktard in reality.

    Yeah, there have been a few turds on Junkion recently stinking it up for the rest of us. I've been lucky so far. I've only had a few misunderstandings, no outright screw-you-over types. I think most of us are trustworthy.

    Yeah, more than enough guys are on-the-level that the average Junkion user shouldn't be quaking in his boots or anything. I consider myself to have far more luck and good fortune than I deserve, as I've NEVER had a bad transaction before or after S7. I only wish that I hadn't been ripped off for so much in the process - the only thing I miss in the bunch was my retailer incentive Spotlight Shockwave!
