    That is a really great haul. Congrats! Hell, that G1 Prowl that looked to still be sealed on the cardboard could cost close to $200 alone, depending who was selling him. Never mind the combiners.

    Wow.:thumb  Well done.

    I just saw the pics. GREAT haul. How did you get this deal though? Usually you can't get a deal like this without some "favors" involved. I hope whatever you had to do wasn't to bad.

    Great haul. I don't know if anyone told you or not but that prime is not the original Mailaway prime that is suppose to be in that package. The stacks are short which means it's a hasbro reissue. The mailer box and sticker look to be real, don't know about everything else in that pic. The prowl and Slag alone are worth what you paid. Once again GREAT SCORE!

    But I gotta ask, how did you do it? Flea Market? Yard Sale? Backroom Brawl!!!

    I thought it was odd too cause I know the 25th version had the short stacks.

    Does it have any other identifying marks that will tell me that it's the re-issue?

    My best friend's roommate decided he didn't want it. He said he'd everything besides the TF for $200.

    The TF he'd sell for $100.

    I am going to sell the Prowl and Slag. As well as the Valkerie and Diecast stuff.

    Probably keep all the combiners. Def keeping Bruticus and PredaKing. Cool thing about him is that I think 4/5 are the diecast versions. They are only missing two swords not three. I know I need Razorclaw's but I forget who the other one was. Anyone have one to trade?

    Bruticus: I need a left gun and hand gun for Blast-off. Anyone have any extras?

    I am joker316 on Ebay
    Lody666 on the YoJoe.com and Hisstank forums and have 100% feedback all three.

    Congrats on the haul! I'd bet you can get some money off of Slag and Prowl. Dang, did your roomate know how much all that was worth? It's amazing!

    Again congrats! :)

    It's kind of weird that your friend's roommate sold you all those stuff for very little money. If all he sold you was g1, then I could assume he didn't know the value for those TFs. However there are also reissues and classics in the lot, so he definitely should know the values for those toys, especially the sealed one.
    Anyway, great lot!

    He was more concerned with clearing out space and getting rid of them. he knew he could get more but didnt feel like going through the hassle of Ebay. I told him that I would keep a bunch too so I guess that helped.

    He asked me not to tell him how much I make, just to take them and be happy.

    I couldn't write the check fast enough.

    Impressive haul! I say you should shoot him some extra cash after you sell what you're not keeping.

    the Shogun guy you're referring to is a Bandai Soul of Chogokin Getter Dragon GX-18. He's still pretty readily available everywhere but you could probably fetch $50-75 bucks for him.

    Incredible haul! Stuff like this comes along only once in a blue moon, congrats!

    I think I know who you mean. The monkey is from Xyber 9. It's called the C.L.O.D. There were two versions, a six inch version and a bigger one to fit the figures. Both pretty rare but not worth all that much I'd imagine since the show was killed quietly after all of 10 episodes were aired.

    The other one, the shogun is Giant Robo. He's a pretty major anime mecha, he's been in various series and OVAs down the years. No idea which of the different toys of him to come out that is, though. I'd imagine to the right collector you could get a good return on it. Definitely moreso than the Xyber 9 toy.
