my GF's job still has the Alt Ricochet PLUS CDF Scattershot and Dark Crumplezone :eek5:
im still not too sure on prices of dark crumplezone and the Scattershot was opened (could be missing stuff) so she just got me Alt Sunstreaker so I can put him with his brother.

Time to turn in the homework...
TOP 3
1. Jafcon Prime
Paid: $225
Current Price: $250?
Why: This Prime was special because it was only available in limited quantity at a Japanese TF convention. It mimics the "dead" Optimus Prime from the TF Movie.
2. D-16S Black Megatron Variant
Paid: $125
Current Price: $215
Why: I like this one because it's relatively rare. Megatrons are always found in silver or chrome. Black Megatron is an oddball. It matches well with the Jafcon Prime above. I read some where that this Megatron variant was a mail-away promotion in Japan, but I can't confirm this.
3. Universe Nemesis Prime
Paid: $23
Current Price: $40 - $60
Why: While not the most expensive, or rare transformer. This one is a favorite, because it's fun to look at.
Honorable Best Mention - TRU Reissue AFA 95 Starscream
Paid: $85
Current Price: $130? There are none on e-Bay to get an estimated value.
Why: It's my first AFA item. It's Starscream. Nuff' said.
BOTTOM 3
1. Transformers Pretenders Series DVD set.
Paid: $20
Current Price: Not even worth navel lint.
Why: This series sucks balls. Don't let the packaging fool you. None of those characters are in this. Robots who evolved to take human shape...that go back to robots...to transform...to killl other evil transformers. GOD AWFUL. The toys suck, and so does this series. If you ever run into this item on e-Bay, don't be fooled by the box. None of those cool characters appears in this series.
2. e-Hobby Orion Pax & Dion
Paid: $46 (?)
Current Price: $102.50 (highest price paid on e-bay)
Why: Orion Pax and Dion. Sounds :ghey: and it is very :ghey:. Who needs another Kup and Wheelie repaint? I bought this because it was on sale. Orion Pax is the original form of Optimus Prime, before receiving the TF steroid that is the Matrix. Even though it is fetching a high price, I still think it's :ghey:.
3. Cybertron Override / Nitro Convoy
Paid: $8.99
Current Price: $8.99
Why: First of all, somewhere between the Japanese series and the US series Nitro Convoy became a trans-sexual bot. Very good vehicle mode. One of the crappiest robot modes ever. I just don't like this one at all.
Honorable Worst Mention: TFC #20 Kup & Wheelie Book-Style Re-issue
Paid: $36
Current Price: $45
Why: Who would buy a Kup and Wheelie? These two figures suck. Their characters sucked even worse. I was forced to buy this just to keep the TFC collection complete.
===================
An item that all collectors should have as a G1 reference (and in some cases checklist).
This book has pictures of all G1 bots. They even have staged transformation pictures. Even though it's in Japanese and all I see is gibberish, the bot names are in English. They go over TFC reissues, e-hobby color variants, everything.
Best price on e-Bay:

JUST ADDED! GOT SOME LOOT TODAY!
New Year's Prime - MISB
D-16 S Megatron - MISB
Transformers RID Landfill - MISB
KO Megatron - MOSC
The KO Megatron is suprisingly good for a KO.
