2 months ago, I got a MISB TRU Thundercracker for $5 on a Saturday night on eBay. Before that, Hambone found piles of Dirges for $7 at TRU on clearance. Those D-22 Takara Starscreams were never THAT rare, I think we all got ours for $30-ish, tops.
Honestly, I've been toy collecting for quite some time now, I've never seen prices explode so quickly. Last summer, Takara #00 Prime could be purchased for $100. I even saw him at a local shop for that price, passed ... because it was "too expensive". Now, he's a BARGIN at $250 shipped.
The strange thing is, a $30 Starscream investment is more sound than dropping $30 into Wall Street stocks. Forget plasti-crack, this is plasti-cash.
