Picked up TF Prime Bumblebee and DOTM Jolt (it was the only other thing that I even kinda wanted left on the pegs) thanks to their BOGO Free sale. Also from there I picked up PCC Undertow w/Waterlog. Shame that line ended just as it was getting good.

Also got Cyberverse Dark Sentinel Prime from Meijer for $6. Nice redeco, but I only got it because it was cheap and I like that mold. Can't beat articulation + integrated weapons storage.

The reason G1 toys go for big $$$ is mostly because production levels for toys were much lower back then, so there's less of them around now. Compare that to MU, whose production levels are much higher and involve more extensive revision waves. Even current Transformers are handled in a similar fashion.

Also there weren't as many collectors back then and kids usually open any toys they get, so in-package G1 toys are even rarer than their loose counterparts. But now there's a large collector's market and aftermarket sales are much more widespread.

Because of the abundance of most mass-marketed modern toys, their value over time will diminish as anyone who wants them will eventually get them. Thus, the remaining stock becomes cheaper as demand decreases.
