:boink:

Let those prices keep going higher! I've got a double MISB TFC Soundwave that I'm sitting on. Seems like the longer I wait, the higher the price gets.

I'm kicking myself in the ass for selling a MIB one for $60 four months ago, but I needed that money to pick-up the two MISB ones.

Opinion needed:

Should I send off a MISB TFC Soundwave to be AFA graded? Would that investment generate enough return to justify the expense? The e-bay price for one is already at $175-ish + shipping. Would some nut out there pay even more for an AFA graded one?

Wow. Looking at those prices makes me grateful that I bought mine before supply became scarce.

At the time we're purchasing the items, we moan and groan about the price. A few months down the line when we see the prices go to ridiculous levels, we realize the deals we got.

The best purchase I made by far had to have been C-310 God Ginrai. I picked that up for $35 MISB back in October. I don't even want to know how much the current e-bay price is for one of those when the price of the TRU reissue Powermaster Prime has gone through the roof.

The e-hobby stuff always seems to appreciate the fastest. E-hobby jets, e-hobby megatron, e-hobby minibots...all of those are at ridiculous prices too.

Ive got them all! And I paid less than all those guys! Just don't link a TFC 0 there. The MP-1 link doesn't work by the way.

I think I paid $125 or $150 for a MISB TFC 00 Prime back in October. TFC 00 Prime's current prices are insane.

This weekend, we should pick out the top three favorite items from our collections, take pictures, and post them up.

That's nuts. Good thing I have doubles of the jets :chuckles: . I also have an AFA 95 TRU reissue Starscream sitting on my shelf. I wonder how much that sucker would bring in?

That was the bestest buy I have ever seen on this thread (or is it the last thread?).

I was thinking that we should not only pick out the top three favorites from our collections, we should also pick out the bottom three least favorites from our collections...take pictures and post them up. That way we get both ends of the spectrum.
