    :lol  no way, unfortunately. There's no way to predict market value in the future. The prices will more than likely hover around what they are now for quite some time.

    He's worth more now because people are looking for him in prep for the armor. Of course, his value is capped because people can also use the G2 CH Prime as a decent substitute. The Junkions have come down a bit from their $200+ peak.

    Definitely not stupid man! With BotCon toys, there's always a spike in value. It takes a 3rd party add on or something to really make them worth upwards of hundreds or a thousand dollars. BotCon toys like last years were also produced in much higher production numbers in years past leading to more on the aftermarket.

    Ahh i see. so value can sky rocket if an add on is made just for it? Im trying to get a collect of botcon rares because as ive notice most botcon rares look very well made like the sg prime or ultra. i hope they make a junkion add on kit for the sg wreckgars or junkheap so i can build a army. But a botcon figure that goes up for thousands? Which figure is that? My god ive never known a figure could worth more than a go cart or something lol. so would the headrobot skeletron make gigatron worth a bit more?

    Well people pay around 1k for that lucky draw crap. It's just chrome painted stuff in a glass box.

    That was a bit of an exaggeration. So far the botcon figure with the most desirable add on is SG Rodimus with Shadow Scyther, going for about $350-$450 and $250-$300 respectvely. The most expensive one at present actually doesn't have add ons - Beast Wars Megatron worth about $800-$100 or so, who is worth that much mostly because there were only about 500 of him made. The second most expensive is SG Prime who, while he does have a KO add on, pretty much has been at his price even before the KO add on came out.
