Words escape me.

That is awesome. If I were a multimillionaire this is the kind of thing I would spend my money on. Screw Fabrige (sp) eggs and Armani Suits.

Years ago, my cousin was in the local paper for having a complete set of Transformers from G1-G3, every single one. Of course his were all open and well played with. Probably would be worth a fortune now, if he didn\'t Garrage sale them all away.

Oh god. Don\'t show this to Ubie. He\'ll have a stroke! Cool, tho\'.

Said it in the other thread, I\'ll say it again.

I\'d be very surprised if this transaction actually gets completed. Looking at the bidders past history, I\'d bet money this was a joke/spite use of Buy It Now.

It got sold through Ebay?!
For 1 mil?!
I don\'t trust Ebay at the best of times, this just makes me hiiiighly dubious >.>

Fair play to the mother if she does get it though

Won this, Uber did. Pay for shipping, he did not. Send me to carry to his house he did.

 

[darklord]

wouldnt like to see the ebay and paypal fees though!!

 

[vincegamer]

So is that a complete collection?
Back in the day I bought one of the ones you had to collect UPCs for and mail order.
I don\'t remember his name. It was like a silver ferrari or somesuch. I wish I\'d kept those old toys. I think I gave them to a Christmas charity so I can\'t feel too bad though.

Anyway, at 1 mil, that\'s $3600+ per toy.

methinks sherpa #1\'s father was a jedi with a napoleon complex and floppy green ears.

Obviously the first auction needed a child-proof lock on it.
