Transformers Concept Piece – The Ghost of Starscream
Prices of G1 Transformers
While at Collectormania, in Milton Keynes, yesterday we were shocked at the prices dealers were asking for some Transformers. So shocked in fact that we felt we should put up a warning. We beleive these prices were aimed at newcomers to Transformers, rather than hardcore collectors. People who had TFs first time round, and would be interested in getting back into it. Consequently they were looking to rip people off.
Prices such as £30 for a G1 Rumble, WITHOUT weapons, and £40 for a G1 Rewind, with weapons. These are scandelous prices, 3 or 4 times over their true value.
Well known TF dealers such as the Spacebridge also had astronomical prices on G1 Transformers. We ask that if you’re new to Transformers, don’t take the prices you see at face value – look around to gain an idea of a value of a Transformer before jumping in at the deep end. Search on eBay for the Transformer you’re looking for, that will tell you what they’re selling for – treat it as a price guide for the current market.
Happy shopping.

Devil’s Due have the license!!
According to my source, it would now appear that Devil’s Due publishing has picked up the Transformers comic license. Now what this means for the current series (War Within, G1, Energon and the hotly anticipated Beast Wars) I have no idea, but I should imagine that these lines will be carried on as usual. With any luck, perhaps some, maybe all those who worked on the Dreamwave series will be pulled in to carry on the good work. Beryllium digital units crossed and watch this space!!!
