What are the chances?

What are the chances of finding Henkei Voy. Prime for less than $70 shipped?

  1. Chances are good, in fact I've got one for $50 here... I'll PM you...

    I finally decided I'd like to add an Optimus Prime to my Classics-verse shelf (I'm specifically looking at Henkei Voy. Prime). I've got a budget of about $75, anyone think there's a chance I can find a deal and have a few bucks left in my pocket after adding this coveted TF to my collection?

    Huh, I got my Henkei Optimus for $50. I wouldn't say it's worth any more than that.

    I like the piece, but were I you, I'd keep that $70 for a year-ish and spend it on the US release of the MP-10 mold.

    As much as MP-10 looks nice and all, I dont think it fits well with the Classics-verse figures. That and I feel the Henkei Prime is better scaled with the United Megatron I picked up a couple weeks ago.

    I've seen a few Henkei Primes on eBay for around the $80 mark shipped, should I just go this route or be patiant and wait to get a better deal?

    It did get reissued. But on the other hand, it IS a Convoy.

    About a year ago, on eBay I won a BIN auction for a Loose Henkei Prime, but in great condition for $35 shipped. So, if you had the luck I did, you have pretty good chances.
