The market is simply glutted with these right now... there's a seller in China that may or may not have uncovered a boatload of MOSC Micromasters, and is having a HARD time selling them at $20.99 shipping INCLUDED.

AFAIK, no one is SURE one way or another whether those are legit or a new knockoff...

Well, that's about what I paid, but these are coming from New York. I hope they aren't ko's. This guy has 2200 feedback and, I didn't see one complaint about any kos of any product.

Here's to hopin' they are legit.

They most likely are... personally, I think the one's in China are legit too. There's simply NO reason to actually knock these off right now, when they can make MORE off of something easier (i.e. cassettes and minivehicles). I imagine it's just an old warehouse find.

How much would you pay for a Trypticon that may be missing the two blaster stands. There is one radar dish broke. The electonics work. The figure is around a c7 condition with sticker and play wear.

Thanks for your response(s)!

$175 or there abouts depending on the condition of the Trypticon. But if there is bamage to some parts bare in mind that there could be damage to Trypticon himself as well.

Me personally, I wouldn't pay over $120 for that Trypticon... but I'm picky when it comes to large figures, I want one in mint for a decent price and when you only make $1000 a month and your bills approximate $600... $2-300 (average price for base-formers) for a figure is pushing it.

I haven't gone for the Henkei Dirge & Thrust because of this...$ 75 each!?!

F***ing kidding me!

It was 120 including shipping. And, I didn't go for it. I want to kick myself. I really wanted it.

Here is another one:
SUPERION & COMPUTRON FROM THE TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE SERIES

IN VERY NICE CONDITION - SHOWS ONLY VERY SLIGHT WEAR, JOINTS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION -

95% COMPLETE
All of the pieces are there to form Computron and Superion. It looks like it may be missing a handful of individual handguns.

I have the option to pay $160 for both of these g1 gestalts. That includes shipping.

What do you guys think?

I have to say it sounds like a good deal with the included shipping. I bought both of mine from a local dealer here a few years back and they were almost $80 a piece. Of course most of the individual weapons were there.

Depends, how badly do you need the missing stuff, because those parts aren't cheap.
If you're going to source those parts one by one, I'd say buy a 100% gestalt instead.

Also, from the pic, it looks like both Air Raid and Skydive are missing alot of stickers and Slingshot looks yellowed.
Of course, the importance of that is up to you to decide, but I'm a sticker fanatic, that's why I noticed! :P

See if you can bargain them down a bit, and use the points that Hound made as leverage to do so.

Both gestalts don't sound like a bad deal to me. Nevertheless, if you can bargain them a bit would be better.

What's a reasonable bid for

Energon Shiockblast complete, w/box&instructions?

Energon Downshift complete, w/box&instructions?

Shockblast $30-40 (wish I hadn't returned the six or so of these I bought at KB outlet a few years back, now!)

Downshift $20-30

A long overdue thanks to Banzai-Tron here, and another question to have a go at! :lol:

Robotmasters Rijie and R-Blade; can't find many for sale, but what should I pay for these?

Rijie? $120-165 + shipping. Oh, wait, you're looking for Robot Masters, not Binaltech :lol:

You're right, they don't come up to often... but when they do, they can both be had for around $15-20 MIB, it looks like. (There's been about 4 of each in the last 90 days)

you may end up with some other Robot master stuff as well. those two almost always get shoved into lots with other RM figures.

But $15-$20 does sound right.

Thanks to both of you, I found them for £13 each so that falls nicely within the acceptable pricerange :D
