My store probably won't even have any in-stock.

TRU doesn't have shares of stock--it's private.  For now.

[Mos_Eisley]

I know ;)

Interesting, going for around 120?  Looks like it might not have the potential of a Masterpiece Soundwave.

I think I have seen some of these at mine. I was intrigued by them as I walked by every other day watching for more soundwaves.

[TheOrcKing]

So what would make this a good investment aside from the sale price?

[stephen_rockefeller]

Nothing.

Looks like Masterpiece Soundwave prices are starting to creep back up.  If they get up and over $200 consistently by Christmas, I'm unloading mine.

[stephen_rockefeller]

It might see 200 by Xmas. 220 is more than likely it's max.

I'd say Stephen is the resident Transformers expert and seems to have a good understanding of their market. If you aren't familiar with Transformers and you're just looking for other things to hopefully flip, I'd listen to his advice.

Thanks for the ego boost I think there some others here who have a grasp on the TF investment angle also. Pickleboy comes to mind.

[Mos_Eisley]

Ok, you and PickleBoy then! All I'm saying is that if you don't know the market, buying a bunch of an item simply because it is on sale is probably a bad idea. When someone who is familiar with it tells you not to do it, then it's definitely a bad idea.

[stephen_rockefeller]

WWED......follow that and you will be fine. ;)

If they don't come out with another big Optimus prime before the next movie, this could easily sell for 100-120 consistently. The beast hunter TFs are all the rage in the stores right now and frankly they suck. The other big Optimus figures sell for $150 and up now but they are better.

 

if they release new toys with the new movie, this one will be worth $80 max, average of $70, IMHO. No trailer kills the value long term.

Here is something that will probably do well http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11728&mode=retail from what I can tell the only TF pieces that are worth investing in are the masterpieces.
