A couple of years ago, I would have said $100 was way too high, but as I think about it, I haven't seen this guy popping up on eBay for a while... if it were me, I'd do a starting bid of around $50 and a BIN of $85, provided that would let you recoup your investment.

The only thing that *could* potentially keep bidding down is that both the hero molds have been reused within the last few years:

Prime http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/Scourge/scourge.htm
Megs http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/...n/bludgeon.htm
Megs http://seibertron.com/images/toys/up...e%20Convoy.jpg

At one point this was fueling a few scattered rumors of a true reissue of the two. It's not out of the question with all Takara's Convoy-craziness lately, but I've not heard much about it in recent months. Frankly, if they reissued them in G1 Prime and Megs colors, I'd be on that in a second.
gooootcha. :usa:

I found a seller with these, got one to keep, one to sell. I'm hoping to break even on the initial investment of $30 each. :hs:
