The truth is, even a pricing guide like O’Brien’s isnt' a science when it comes to toy collecting. A toy's worth is based on what someone will pay for it. I've seen the Japanese version of Megatron go for $275 in a shitty box. I've also seen a toy store selling a loose Megatron and Optimus Prime bundle for $75. They were in great shape, too.
You can count on the prices to keep going up, especially since the new Armada cartoon. Transformers will probably remain one of the most expensive "vintage" toys you can find.

Ask yourself this:
Is it worth more to me to have this in an original box? Am I going to be treating this like an investment? Will I be selling it years down the road when it's worth more, or will I be too attached? Would I be satisfied with a loose version?
