Metroplex Question - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

I had a question about Metroplex, what's a good price for a loose Metroplex?. I seen a loose Metroplex on a website for $33.00 with a lot of accessories, including rubber wheels. He wasn't complete, but it looks like a good deal. Comments?, or Opinions?

It all depends on what he's missing. Best thing to do to search for prices like this do a search on ebay for "completed items" and see what similar things sold for (or what the pieces he's missing sold for) that way at least you have an idea of what he'll cost you to complete.

Thanks for the input guys, I bit the bullet and bought the Metroplex in question. There are a lot of accessories and the figure is yellowed a bit but nothing major. I will have pics added to my collection when I get him.

If he's yellowed I wouldn't buy it, you can get a white one for very cheap. The high ones on Ebay sell complete for about $80, I got mine for $27. So somewhere in the middle, about $40 I guess would be fair. Make sure the one you buy has Scamper's laser pistol, it's a $15 piece to buy loose and not super easy to find. Though I did have 3 at one point.

Ok, thanks i'll keep that in mind.

Hopefully he won't be too yellowed, maybe he needs just a good washin, LOL!

Also when buying make sure to check that the torso to legs connector is in good shape and also not CRAZY GLUED, Metroplex as a stack of dimes for a torso connector that is fragile.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye on the connectors to see if they are good shape.

Anybody know why Metroplex has three Missiles?. I know two are for the Anti-Matter Projectors, but what is the third one for?

In case you lose one?

Honestly, all the missiles are for the anti-matter projectors, you just keep one to the side when you're not using it.

Ya, all the figures have that.

Smokescreen - 3 missiles
Prowl - 3 missiles
Bluestreak - 3 missiles
Wheeljack - 4 missiles
Hound - 3 missiles
Camshaft - 2 missiles
Overdrive - 3 guns
All Dinobots have an extra missile
Most Dinobots have a sword, missile launcher and gun.....but only 2 hands.

They knew kids would lose one so they took proactive measures unlike toys today which either give you just enough or even not enough.
