You know you got a plastic crack addiction problem when you can't sleep because of a lost eBay auction. I was patrolling ebay and I noticed these variant mini bots in a eBay lot. I thought I might win as the seller did not know he/she had these rare figures, the listing ended at 11 pm pacific time on a Saturday night (and I was hoping the east coasters would be snoring in their beds and the west coasters would be out partying dancing to gungnam style - as a new dad there was little chance I would be out in the clubs), and the auction only had a sole, grainy picture. The lot contained G1 huffer in pipes color, g1 brawn in outback colors and g1 gears in swerve colors - I think they are Mexican iga figures. I personally know very little about the value. However, I blame MAZ for my instant and uncontrolled desire to own these figures. The more I read his articles, the stronger my addiction grows for transformer oddities. The auction was at $33 dollars with just a minute or two left and in the last minute ended at 162.50. I bid up to 162. Should I have bid more? what do you think is the value of the lot? I MIGHT have gone more but know so little about the figures, their rarity, and value. I WOULD have bid more but, the chrome on all three figures seemed lacking and I already own the other figures in the lot - crosshairs, Slamdance, and crankcase. Help me sleep!!! Someone please put my out of my misery and say that the buyer overpaid by $50 or give it to my straight and tell me I wasted an amazing opportunity to own rare transformers' history.

Damn. I never saw that auction listed or I would have bid on it. I already own a Puffer but that is a sweet deal. The Puffer alone is worth more than what the whole auction sold for. The vague auction title is probably the only thing that allowed it to slip through the cracks.
I saw that listing but I thought they were just Hasbro ones! Sometimes I don't really peruse listings, just skim them, hehe.
