Does anyone Know what a AFA MISB Minelba is worth? Also I have seen the 4 Dinobot cassettes go for large amounts. I bid $630 for Noizu MIB but the seller wanted more. If anyone can help I would apreiate it.

I read in one book she's worth about $400-$500. But you'd be ultra lucky to pay that amount. I've seen her twice on ebay & one of them was afa graded. The guy wanted £2000 for her.

Nice find Richy. That's the 1st time I've actually seen Dairu & Zauru. And that's the only time I've ever seen Artfire on ebay as well.

An MIB Minelba is worth hundreds, an AFA graded MISB figure would definitely be in the four figures.

The price of those Dino Cassettes is insane. You shouldn't pay over $400 MIB.

s**t sorry thats me putting her on for £2000 I put it on hoping a rich rock star or celeb would buy it seeing it's the only AFAd on in the world. What I did is sold a load of g1 TFS and bought her as an investment. I paid £900 for her. I reckon she is worth about £900 because she turns yellow and I have only ever seen 2 MISB and on of those I own it is a AFA 80. The yanks are nuts though one wanted £5000 for Omega Supreme MISB AFA. And as for those 4 cassettes I saw dairu and zauru go for £800 MIB the stickers were all mashed as well where they had been put together. I really want all four off them but id rather put my money in the stock market.

I just checked those four loose cassetes why are people bidding so high. If they reissue them really their almost worthless. The one i saw on Ebay was Noizu MIB I bid £300, and she wanted £330 and I just couldn't do it. It was too risky the photos were a bit blurred.

When I bought Minelba I had a nightmare that she arrived yellow and with both seals broken. It really was a releief when she arrived still in the AFA bag. The seller put on the parcel that it was a toy worth $30. I must be insane for risking it.

The thing is, if I had the money I would of bought Minelba. I like the mold, it's in good condition & it was afa graded. The dino cassetts are effin horrible though,especially Zauru.

Yeah the cassettes are weird I do like them though the trouble is with cassettes it is hard to make them look good in robot form. Minelba is a nice Transformer I really don't want to sell her but maybe in 5 years time or something I will. It's good to have her on British soil viva la France as they say in Rome. I should get someone like Cobra commander or Silverbolt to do a review of her on You Tube.

I've recently found CobraCommanders' reviews on youtube. Top notch reviewer in my opinion.He deserves more viewers.

Regarding your fondness for the dino cassetts, I can appreciate that, but for me, the whole TF toyline went down hill from the intro of the Jnr headmasters. Some of the toys from the Victory line are terrible.

You may say that, but I did open up a Takara 1986 Scourge MISB back in 97 because I wanted to see all the 1986 posters and stuff he came with. Christ I regret it now.

Yeah it was weird back then I was 16/17 picking up pieces cheap. People thought I was crazy paying £60 for Soundwave MISB and £40 Rumble and Ravage MOC I was ripped off a bit I used to haggle like crazy. But now I see Soundwave for £1000 and I saw some psycho. Yes I said psycho put Rumble and Ravage with rub signs on Ebay for £950. My dream when I was that age was to buy up every 1984 Transformer MISB. Christ if I would of followed that Id be loaded.

now way is soundwave woth £1000 even afa graded

sounblaster is worth more than soundwave and i havnt seen him for 1k yet

 

also its hard to put aprice on somethung, as people are only going to pay what there willing, and half of ebay prices are ridiculous and have been on there for ages not selling, but the sellers are too stuborn to understand what its actualy worth

 

a month ago i was watching abruticus japanese gifset missing instructions, but everything else there, was up at $300 so not a bad price, it didnt get one bid, so he hs stuck it in his shop for more!

i mean if it didnt sell at that then whos going to buy it for more

Yeah theres a perceptor MISB AFA 75 for £500 the Ebayer started it at £750. I actually want Perceptor MISB but the seller is mad it's worth about £250 maximum its been Ebay for over a year. And I wouldnt buy it any way because it has a massive flap crease.
