    I am mulling over my collection as I need to thin it out to make room in the budget for more car parts and I just rediscovered my MISB Cryotek that I had forgotten about.

    Are people really after this thing? The buy it now prices on eBay are just stupid...

    Its an awesome looking figure and all but still.

    It's a great figure, I know I'd love to reacquire him. Sold mine a few years back for about retail price, maybe a bit more... he was loose. Now he goes for a lot more, though. Haven't checked eBay prices, though, but i can almost all guarantee that they are overpriced...

    You could always put it up in the trade/sell forum and just ask for offers

    I would love to get my hands on one. I think that this will be a sought after toy, now that we know about the thief of the golden disks.

    I had one at one time, heck I remember seeing them on clearance at my local Target stores for something like $15. I never cared for the TM2 Megatron mold so it don't regret selling mine. Cool deco though...

    I love the figure. I originally only got it because I was completing RID. But once i opened him, I loved it. TM2 megs was great but this was just that much cooler.

    Thanks for reminding me this thing exists... One more thing to find to complete my RID collection (Almost there, as I'm not bothering with Spychangers... Just need Dreadwing/Smokejumper or whoever they were in RID, Cryotek, Scourge, and the 4 Machine Wars recolors. Maybe Megatron if space allows for it.)

    And I'm done hijacking the thread for now.

    I was very close of getting one online before I went through my collection again and found Cryotek. I didn't even remember buying it lol. I say hold on to it if you can it's a nice toy and if you have TM2 Megatraon then it's even better to have it in your collection.
