Noob needs help pricing


Recommended Posts

It would be worth quite a bit more if the Pepsi stickers were still affixed to the box. Otherwise it looks like it's completely unused. Is the rest of the paperwork present, instructions, catalog, promo fliers?

 

Give us some pics of the rest of the paperwork that you do have as well as the rest of the accessories. Probably somewhere in the $250-350 range on eBay if I had to guess, but I would let the bidder fight over it instead of setting a opening bid that's too high and scares people away.

All of the paperwork is still in the styrofoam, I didn't want to take it out and handle it.

 

You can see it under the plastic bag.

 

I can see 3-5 flyers and two sealed accessories bags. One is the Gas pump and one is the blaster and wheels for the roller.

 

I broke the tape on the outside sadly in my excitement before realizing I shouldn't of opened it.

Sealed it could have easily been worth a small fortune. This is the "Pepsi Prime" from back in the day, but as I said, unfortunately the Pepsi stickers are not present, devaluing it in that respect. Should still easily fetch what I mentioned earlier. Were the Pepsi stickers present, it could have easily jumped up into the $500+ range.

 

List it as a G1 Optimus Prime MIB unused and see what happens. The market can be really picky on these, as it's not always the most difficult thing to find, but this one is in excellent shape. Make sure to mention that all accessories are still on sprues and that the sticker sheet is completely intact.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
