I am impressed.

you only saw those 2 carded figures? No Seaspray? No Beachcomber? No G2 Constructicons?

If the numbers are truly limited ... this supply has to dry up by the end of the month. Derry has 70 of them ... the roaming 30 have to be done soon.

oh, you're the king around here ... do you know the value on something like this?
-snip pic-
This is unopened, sealed, new, etc.
I have an estimate of $75 to $100, is that a bit over? under?

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.

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:

Here's the 411 on the latest SOC news
Keep in mind that the white cassettes will come with the gold plated weapons. I'll get prices on the black versions too.
If anyone has access to Thrust sticker sheets, that would be cool too.

I will ask about the WST jets.

I can ask around for those Thrust stickers. Depending how badly he needs them, I can always order from Reprolabels.
