    I don' t know, but the start bid is 12€ and nobody even placed one bid on the previous listings. That's what I'm referring as incredible price.

    Oh gotcha. I wonder if it’s because it didn’t hit a reserve or something. Either way thanks for letting us know.

    This year I paid a second hand one, complete, 40 EUR. I think that 200 EUR would be closer to a MISB one. This was a mass release, for $484 you can buy some BotCon exclusive.

    The thing was, as Pocket Money toys, they didn't actually sell that well. Many ended up being pushed to discount stores. I remember seeing the RID ones in Poundland (A UK store). Only ever saw the MiniCon ones once.

    Nowadays they'd just do as they have for the Arms Microns that were blind-bagged, as it saves more money than putting them in a matchbox style tin.

    Hmm, that might likely be the case.

    Oh man, now i wonder how a blindpack set of new micro-class figures would work in this case? Is the blind bag craze still a thing by this point?

    Left to right:

    Armada Side Swipe
    Micron Legend Stepper
    Universe "Battle In A Box" Oil Slick
    Universe Battle In A Box Treadshot
    Galaxy Force (Cybertron) Runamuck

    All clear plastic weapons are identical.
    There are three different minicon versions.
    Three minicons are identical for Side Swipe, Stepper and Oil Slick.
    Treadshot's minicon has a different yellow color.

    @rikkomba well, congratulations on getting all (?) version of possible the worst mould to come from Armada :D 

    I used to own Runamuck thinking I could kitbash him to be better, like modding it so the hood ended up on the shoulders. Gave up on that idea.

    I still think it's amazing that such a wonderful looking car, one of the best cars in Armada, resulted in this robotmode.
