I don't know if this is any help, but I found mine on eBay. He was not complete so I guess that was what kept the price down. Then I just went looking for the missing parts. I found some of them on eBay and got a little help from here with the rest I was missing :)

i doubt you wil find any cheap G1 megs. You may have more luck with the takara reissue [still around 50GBP though]

I've just managed to get a complete G1 Megatron from ebay BIN price of £50 which I thought was quite reasonable.

Keep your eye open and one will turn up ;)

Prices have gotten much better lately, compared to July where they were when the movie came out. I've had to drop the price of several key figures (Prime, Megs, Sky Lynx, Ultra Magnus, etc.) by 50% in some cases.

One suggestion I would have is to keep an eye out for broken figures...the barrel and the arms break frequently, so you may be able to pick up 2 broken ones for $10-$20 each, combine to make a nice unbroken Megs, then sell off the remaining junker for $10-$20 :)

Nice find Dawg, even at the equivalent $100 USD it's a good deal!
