Original Transformers Boxed Collection Sold for $1,000,000
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/megallect...000-279598.php
Count them. 275 Tranformers from the '80s. 101 Autobots, 81 Decepticons, 92 licensed products, some never removed from box, some mint-in-box, all ready for the mother of all battles. Sold for $1,000,000 at eBay in a story full of drama, love and cartoon passion that started out of pity for Starscream.
Ended with a buy it now.
Whoa!

I remember when I was a kid I bought a bunch of transformers in tokyo and I had megatron in my backpack so when I flew into JFk the guard stopped me thinking I had a gun in my bag, I was freaking out
I wish I had that collection I still have most of my toys from the 80's but there in storage

it's really not worth a million, but it will save you a large amount of time.
Those things look fairly mint, and if professionally graded, some will go for a few grand.
A sealed Megatron, given a 90 rating (which is next to impossible to receive), yanked 14K at auction. A Devastator giftset, also graded, pulled 10K.

He got his one. And those trips to the Toys r Us kept on going until Anthony got his 275 Transformers. Sadly, he died of AIDS in 1988. He was infected with HIV during an anti-hemophilia treatment, while hospitalized for the bike accident in 1983.
