expensive hobbies = :chuckles:

it's a way of life :run: ... I admire your ability to stay focused with the TFCs ... hopefully you'll develop a fully blown itch. Oh, btw ... do you have the Toys R Us reissues?

There are some TRU exclusive figures that weren't in the TFC line:
Red Alert
Hoist
Silverstreak
Dirge
Starscream (OG colors)
Skywarp
Thundercracker
Grapple
Ultra Magnus
Powermaster Prime
Rodimus Prime
etc ...

the only TRU reissues i have are jazz (ISB with shelf wear), smokescreen (opened), sideswipe (MISB), and optimus (opened).. i've considered going back for more TRU. i think i at least want to get the TRU ultra magnus, now that i'll have the master piece version. :run:

edit > and man, these KOs are really doing it for me, so who knows what will happen there!! :eek5:

so if this is all old news just ignore...
if this is any bit true ... I'm going to be screwed. I'd have to get:

- white
- chrome
- gold

If that's for real then maybe we should dump the ones we got while the demand is high then wait for the market to get flooded and get new ones for less $$. :dunno:

I'm still holding strong knowing that these are well worth what we paid.

1. the actions we have have active BIN's on them ... look what happens when the BIN is removed:
http://search-completed.ebay.com/sea...ss=appleheadbb

Prices start spiking due to days of the week. $15 is low, $41 is high ... seems like the median is around $30.

2. I don't know who that guy is at all. I can't say that he's right or wrong, but I do beleive there is only one set of presses. There's no way more than 1 factory is doing these.

3. I won't risk it until I secure another cheaper one. If we do see a cheaper one, we'll be able to sell ours easily ... US sellers > Asian sellers

I'm still curious what these things will go for without a BIN. I'm tempted to put the black one up once it arrives with a reserve of $700 just to see what the demand is.

I'd put up the OG one. Black won't fetch over $200 because the original is $200.

I'm really curious what this will go for ... be sure to:

- have the listing end on a Monday night (10 est?)
- use clear pictures
- state that it is a high quality replica
- keep the shipping real, $15 USPS priority

I'm thinking it'll hit $300.
