Who would want that in the first place?

Thundercracker is my favorite seeker...nay my favorite Decepticon, but for no reason can I see a reason to want that.

And I wouldn't pay that much for any figure even if it was made of solid gold and flawless crystal!
All that was needed is a catalyst... and the machines of war are set in motion.

Well I won't be buying it, even with free shipping. I think it's a shame it comes with the 'safe' missiles as well, they always look out of place.

I can't believe I thought Cassettes were the way of the future.

Is +1 on Kups list.

Meh. I don't see anything crazy about it. He's just using a practical way to circumvent Ebay's fees, and (maybe) get a decent valuation for his item, without being required to actually sell it.

I agree. He also made a disclaimer that the listing is for "viewing purposes only" with the caveat that if someone is willing to do the BIN, then he would actually sell it.

Its too bad this thread wasn't around when the wii and ps3 came out. Some guy had a wii for $10 million! When I asked him why, he said it wasn't any of my business. He took aim high to new heights.

Someones got a very, very nice collection up on ebay but the minimum bid is $30,000, however you could buy it now for $50, 000.

5 days left get your bid in now :D

Atleast it ship free, that I respect. I bet it would be cheaper for them to rent a truck and deliver it to your door.




*****This collection contains every single American Released Generation 1 Transformer 100% complete w/ accessories and in ~C8 condition or better. In at least one case not a single solitary Transformer from the American G1 line is broken in poor condition or missing a missile, gun, accessory. Period.*****

*****I would say It contains about 95% of every European only released G1 Transformer, and about 85% of every Japanese only released G1 Transformer*****

*****Many items in the collection are loose, but many are also MIB, MISB, MOSC, w/ Tech Specs, w/ instructions, Even some AFA. When MISB the box is always in great shape, when MIB the box condition ranges from perfect to poor*****

*****Many, many pre-transformers, Diaclone, Diakron, some re-issue's*****

*****HERE’S MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE COLLECTION: In almost every case with the American G1 transformers there are 2 ,YES 2 of the transformer!!!! Why? So you can display and enjoy the toy in both robot and vehicle form!*****

*****In the case of a triple changer there are usually 3 so you can display it in all 3 forms, 6 changers same thing I have multiples for you to enjoy!!!!!!!*****

*****I have an unbelievable collection of unique Transformers Memorabilia, and nostalgia, from cookie jars, to train sets, to piggy banks, to playing cards*****

*****I have about 95% of the G2 line completed (Most of these are actually even more rare than the G1 line)*****

*****I have many Armada, Beast Wars, Robots in Disguise, and newer transformers such as the Star Wars Transformers (these are so cool, I had to have each one)*****

*****I have almost every single valuable Transformer Comic ever produced*****

*****I have many of the important Ehobby figures*****

*****I've done the hours of research, collecting, scouring Ebay and other sites, working with dealers, paying OUTRAGEOUS INDIVIDUAL SHIPPING COSTS, all for you the bidder to have the finest and most complete collection!*****

*****Last but not least, the condition of most of these toys are dare I say Museum Quality, especially with the truly important pieces*****

*****I am throwing in a ridiculous amount of extras including an amazing M.A.S.K. collection 100’s of vehicles and figures and accessories*****
