    Thats awesome but unless your the seller or not interested in buying this your self you could be opening yourself up to epic competition for this.

    It may go cheap, but there isn't a 1984 Jetfire, and it definitely isn't misb. Stickers applied and styro trays rearranged......resealed with scotch tape:)

    Yeah, def NOT MISB. The styrofoam trays are swaped. Jetfire should be on the other side of the box.

    I also agree, not MISB. Jetfire is in the wrong position. Even though it looks complete, we cannot see all the parts through the photos provided. It's also difficult see if there is yellowing on the figure. Even though the auction is ran by a respectable organization, I'm kind of sketchy in buying this at a high price due to their lack of knowledge on the item.

    Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

    No-one should buy this, unless they want to let themselves in for some epic disappointment.

    its pretty clear this is not being sold by a collector, some how it fell in to the laps of a goodwill store.

    that said its fair to say they they are far from experts on Transformers and figured out enough to know they have something of decent value to go through the effort of listing it on this website.

    why would you want $100 ko, when you can get an original for less than that? i got mine for like 75 and completed it with the gun clip for 22 more, no paint wear on the nose and bone white, if you went a little wear you'd get it for less, i sold a complete minus gun clip last year with a tan for 45, the buyer bought a new body for like 25 or so that was white.
