With the release of the new TRANSFORMERS I got thinking .... how much are my apparantly highly rare and collectable Generation One Transformers toys worth.....
As you can see from the top picture a Generation One Optimus Prime, fully boxed/factory sealed - just like my one - is selling for $6299 ... which is a substantial mark up of the prices paid from new!!!
Kerching!!
Unfortunately being a kid, even though I kept Optimus pristine I had to open Ultra Magnus. As you can see from the above picture opening the box harms the value to the tune of a cool $5000 .... but when it's weighing in at over $1000 its still a good mark up!!
These items however are gonna stay with me for a long time yet. I've kept them for over two decades and can only see the prices getting higher and higher the rarer, older and strangely more popular these iconic robots become.
