That's about normal for a MISB G1 Megatron these days. Higher, if it's AFA-graded.

I will say that it is an amazing figure considering its time, and the fact that it predates the issues with toys looking like weapons is ridiculously awesome. I mean FUCK, this old school figure is a gun, and a realistic one too. That is some crazy shit.
There is no "orange cap" version of G1 Megs. As you said, his G1 toy pre-dates the laws that cover toy weapons. But he was one of the reasons those laws came into effect.

And yes, he is an awesome figure for his time (limited articulation, but that's how it was with most G1 TFs.). And the stock and silencer parts turn him from a standard Walther P38 into the gun used on the "Man from U.N.C.L.E." TV series.

If anyone is interested in getting him, I would recommend trying to find his more recent Takara reissue as it might be cheaper and it includes all of the accessories that the Japanese version had (which was not included in the US version). Not to mention the fact that the original Microchange toy was a working BB gun in Japan, so all the Megatron ones released over there have working BB gun parts (and come with pellets). The US release of Megs had the BB gun parts stripped out.
