5 of eBay's Top-Priced Transformers Pieces

Nobody could have predicted at the time that Transformers was released that it would still be gaining fans (and not simply have a fan base gaining in age!) 25 years later. The new Transformers has plugged a bit of a hole in the collectibles market, but it seems that original gear is still very popular. Today we check out just what a nice collection of Transformers action figures or memorabilia could fetch you in a few years time!
1. Transformers figurines, all mint in box, $6,500
This collector has quite a lot of Transformers action figures, although the listing is not very well detailed. There are plenty of photos, though, and it shows how a small collection can easily double in value over a relatively short amount of time. As well as bringing you quite a lot of pleasure!
The seller indicates that the Buy It Now price on these Transformers comics is actually quite low, considering that a recent Superman first edition comic sold on eBay for over $150,000. Phew! These were first issued in 1984. The seller is taking offers as well, though not through this eBay page.
There were only 421 of this statue made worldwide, and at 14 inches tall, this action figure is pretty impressive! The item was opened only for inspection and then returned to its box – not quite mint, but pretty close.
I don't know about you, but I’d be much more comfortable with a smaller Transformers action figure than this one. The head has speakers, the eyes light up, and it is made of ABS plastic and heavy duty vinyl. It is new in the box (though pictured on display).
5. Prime versus Megatron, $1,175
This item is from the historic final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron, and is still factory sealed. There aren’t many other details on the listing ... the seller should be expecting a lot of calls for this action figure set!
