Every so often a collectibles listing appears that makes you do a double-take at the math, and a lot of 40 Transformers figures currently on eBay is exactly that. Videos by ComicBook.comThe reason comes down to how much collectors will pay for G1 figures on their own. A graded G1 Soundwave recently drew bids of $9,000 (around $11,250 with buyer’s premium) at auction, and top-condition examples have sold for well into five figures, while boxed G1 Optimus Primes have gone for tens of thousands for the best-preserved pieces. The G1 line has become genuine highly sought collectors items, headlined by a record-breaking Megatron that sold for $133,435 and rarities like a G1 Optimus Prime whose Pepsi sticker adds around $35,000 to its value. Even a single 41-year-old Transformers gift set has changed hands for over $20,000 — roughly the price being asked here for forty figures at once.
