At Botcon 2010 (the official Transformers convention), Bickmore and some Japanese sellers each had tons of these for I about $30 each. Little, if any, takers too.

This year only those same Japanese sellers had about 5 of them, asking $40 each, and I'm pretty sure I saw them unsold at the end of the con too.

Perhaps a TF con isn't the right platform for selling these, but based on those prices, the ones on eBay are quite ridiculous.

I agree, these should be worth no more then $30-$40 each.

Why ? It's only worth what pelople pay ! Sou u guys got them for a expensive price and other people didn't ! If every one that wanted one had gotten on the same page and talk to every body and talk to the dealer and bean like dude this is to expensive ! He could had given a brake on the price but no ! Next time make a plan ,and help out the next dude ! Well that's my opinion any way ! I still love u guys ! !

Why erase your confirmation of there appearance at Botcon ?

Because I wasn't at BotCon and if I'm going to add something, I'd rather add first hand information.

I just picked up the colonel bird and pixelated pointer from zenspyder for $95 each. He still has the Fox and Leapin Lizard. We know he will sell for $95 put your offers in.

Sounds fair to me.

$95 is still to high for me.
If everyone came together on these we all could have had them for $80 or less each.

Like other LB/BB figures, some will be at a higher value. Sharks, Carps, and especially Lions, go for more. I think the $150 I paid was close to the correct value. Just my two cents.

[SaltLakeToyJunkee]

I noticed someone used my advice and offered $95 on the Leapin Lizard and probably the others. These truly are a great find to add to your collection.

If you read the full thread members talk about multiple listings on Yahoo Japan and Japanese dealers at the Transformer conventions.

I even have the photos saved from when they first appeared for sale.

They are not a one of a kind. I don't have a idea on the numbers. Possibly 10-12 of each ?

Toxo's estimate is about the same that I've seen, probably 10 or so of each have showed up publicly.
