I'm not sure if I paid too much. I was almost sure I would be outbid, but gave it a shot anyway. These were hard to find even during my heavy Takara collecting days(days I am still paying for   ). I'm just wondering for rarity's sake if anyone else here has them.

Btw I really just wanted Zaur. For some reason a Brontocassette sounds badass  

 

Nice finds man, those are like some of the hardest TF's to get.
Not sure what they're worth is but I prob woul've paid the same thing.
The cassettes rule and it's nearly impossible finding the Japan ones anymore.

Only person that I can think has em all here is Dragonclaw. He's even got all the rare Japan headmasters I believe.

 

Nice dude, if I had extra money I definitely would pay that much for those in a heartbeat. I'd love to have the four Japanese cassettes.

 

Yep! Here's mine!

Looong time ago now (I mean like, when the entire online fandom consisted pretty much of a.t.t.), I saw a Gurafi at a local toy show. I was like,"What the fuck is that? It's fucking awesome!" The dude explained it was a Japanese only item back in the day, etc., etc. I asked how much; he said ~$100; I balked.

What I wouldn't give to go back in time and kick my own ass for not buying it...and then buy it.

That wasn't inherently a lot of money even then, as I was still living at home. It just seemed like a relatively ridiculous amount at the time, when I was buying complete '84-85 cars for $20 and seekers for $30.

 

Thanks guys, but those boxed ones pwned me  

 

I took a stab at that before work last night. Bid around $150, didn't think I'd win.   Definitely a good deal for what it went out at though. Closet thing I have to those are two of the Headmasters. Someday though... (in like 10 years maybe...)

 

OMIGOSH!
*Gasp*

The Jap tapes are my holy grail of TF's
Half of me wants them bad, but the other half can't bring myself to spending that much on something so small.

 

I have all six (counting the boxed overkill&slugfest), and recently sold my duplicate Noise and Graph with one weapon each for $260. $208 is fair.

 

It's funny, they ARE uber-rare, but seem to be more common lately. Mostly because of the $$$ they go for, it brings them out of the woodwork...it wont be long until offerings are few and far between again as they again find their way into long-term collectors sets  

 

I don't think they're that insanely rare, just insanely priced. But when was the last time you saw a beast wars eggbot?  

 

I dunno, I had been hunting them for a long time and saw them very rarely, then over the last couple years they seem to be a lot more readily available. I still expect them to fade back into the woodwork. I haven't looked for the eggbots since they came out (Mine are in a box somewhere...)

 

How can they be worth that much when a big chunk is missing out of one? Good luck finding that little bit. I'm not ragging on ya, but if I ever try to buy these, they better be complete.

I want them bad as well.

 

I didn't notice the missing tail. I guess $208 is on the steep side then. But on the other hand, they are so rare that a decent estimate value of incomplete ones is very subjective.

 

i would love to own the bronto and pterodaytyl one. they look pretty spiffy.

 

ooo there some of the really rare cassettes not as kool as the classics but theres still niffty (old time words today  )
