in b4 move :wave

 

that is pretty messed up though... 200 bucks? i dont even like the toy.

and then they want $8 shipping on top of that!

*moved*

Who is going to buy that?

I've actually bought from them before; they seemed alright. Maybe they mistyped "$19.98"?

Same debate going on on the Allspark

 

Optimus316 emailed the guy asking if he made a mistake and got this reply

 

"Well he responded:

"I bought my Grimlock from Target too.

And yes it can sell for $200 because that's the going price in UK where I just came back from. Also it's starting to sell over $100 on ebay, look at closed auctions. The item is very shortprinted as my friend has work for Hasbro for 16 years now told me and is a transformers junky. I advise you to keep your Grimlock for the future because it will be the rarest energon figure of them all and will see $200 before year is complete. Thanks."

 

you can read the thread here ;) http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63171

This guy is on some really good drugs or something! I've followed several Grimlock/Swoop sets and they usually end at around $50 give or take a few.

 

Add to that the fact that a lot of stores probably still have them buried in their warehouses somewhere that never made it to shelves yet so there's bound to be more popping up at stores eventually.

That's super. "This item's going to go for $200 by the year's end, so I thought I'd get an early start!"

I suppose he intends to keep the auction up untill the end of 2005 then ;)
