Andrew's TF Value Advice / Predictions


Alternators: Advice
Some Alternators are a lock. There were certain figures that saw piss poor distibution and have always been worth a grip.
- Decepticharge - Honda S2000
- Swerve - Chevrolet Corvette C5 Z06
- Mirage - Ford GT


These have exploded out of nowhere.
- Wheeljack - Ford Mustang GT
- Shockblast - Mazda RX-8
- Prowl - Acura RSX

Alternators: Predictions
Keep your eye on these. The first 3 were molds used once for mass distribution. The last one is a more logical color scheme for the Ford Mustang.
- Skids - Scion xB
- Rumble - Honda Civic Si
- Optimus Prime - Dodge Ram SRT-10
- Grimlock - Ford Mustang GT



Classics: Advice
BotCon and the TF Movie have generated much interest in this line ... 2 months AFTER the last case was shipped. These are a dead lock for price increases:
- Megatron (Voyager, handgun)
- Starscream (Deluxe, jet fighter)
- Jetfire (Voyager, armored space fighter)
- Grimlock (Deluxe, Tyrannosaurus)


Classics: Predictions
Some classics were phased out too quickly and saw limited shelf life. These will move into the "lock" status soon:
- Bumblebee (Deluxe, compact car w/ Wave Crusher jetski on trailer/flight pack)
- Astrotrain (Deluxe, NASA orbiter/bullet train triple changer)
- Skywarp / UM Target Exclusive

These figures are FANTASTIC and under appreciated. Look for a steady increase over time.
- Ramjet (Deluxe, jet fighter)
- Cliffjumper (Deluxe, compact car) - repaint of Classics Bumblebee



TFC: Advice
I've been preaching the following figures for years now.
- Optimus Prime (00)
- Starscream (09)
- Soundwave (10)
- Minibots (12)
- Insecticons (17)
- Soundblaster (18)

The 00 pricing seems to have no limits. It keeps reaching and passed the $350 mark not too long ago. TFC12 is so rare, I can't even find good comparison data on that.

I'd SELL TFC10 asap. The Encore line will offer something better than what was previously seen.

These have hit some strange internet cult status.
- Jazz
- Blitzwing


TFC: Predictions
I expect these to hit that next level of pricing quickly.
- Perceptor (19)
- Broadcast(21)
- Hound (14)

These in about another year
- Prowl (02)
- Smokescreen (05)
