i think i may have come across something great. Growing up my parents had bought me lots of MOTU figurines and such. As i got older and moved past them they had a lot of stuff they didn't give me. Problem is, i don't know the real value of any of these since i'm not a collector. Maybe i can get some guidance (other than ebay) as to what they are worth. Here is what I have found so far:
UNOPENED Eternia Monstroid Manisaur A few figurines Princess of Power stuff as well
OPENED WITH BOX Snake Mountain Spydor
I also have a large collection of opened figurines and possibly creatures...I still have to find those.
Can someone guide me, or tell me, what this stuff is worth?
if needed i will take pictures, but since this is a collector site i'm sure most know what these are.

the box has a hole in it next to the mouth but that's all i could find. the corners of the box are worn but not too bad. where can i get that stuff appraised or whatever you would call it? Oh, and as it turned out, all of the stuff pictured is unopened!

I'll give you a hundred shipped for all of it . No, really though it's all worth quite a bit, I wouldn't waste my time having it graded, I feel it's a waste of time and money. Eternia might fetch you up wards a $1,000. Needless to say you better take you folks out for one hell of a night on the town.

Here is the stuff i found dude your killing me, what and awesome stuff Thats a small fortune right there Holy crap do remind yourself that most of us never will get enough money to own a MIB Eternia let alone in that condition. Check ebay for finished sales on the items and you will get a good idea of the selling value of most of the stuff

Your gonna make some MOTU collector happy when you get around to selling those off! To bad ya never got around to playing with any of those as a kid.
Like Meaty said, if you list them on Ebay you'll get good $$ for them - just remember to ship with signed for delivery confirmation. Don't even worry about setting a reserve price on the stuff (waste of money).
Other than that if you try the he-man.org boards they should be able to throw a few more numbers on the stuff you have.

Ok, I know there had to be some GREAT offers on these items before anyone said they were worth high dollar . Please tell me how much you were offered , I have got to know . I feel treachery afoot.

Possibly he's generating awareness of the items so that when he finally lists/sells them there will be a large number of ready buyers.

even though i dont necessarily believe in the whole "AFA" thing. i might actually suggest trying to get that eternia graded. its so rare like that, that getting it graded might actually make it a more official and EXPENSIVE piece over all whether or not he keeps it!

Does anyone know why Eternia is so rare? limited distribution or something?

That's a really insincere, cheapskate offer. If the Eternia is indeed MISB and the box condition is C-8 or better (as it appears to be from the pic above) it will easily go for at least as much as a G.I.Joe Flagg. $2000 minimum.

Yes this is an extremely rare piece being that it is in such nice condition. I would take a step back and do a lot of watching on ebay, and a lot of asking around on the net, specificaly the .org would be a great place also for getting a lot of buzz out there. Something like this only comes along once, so its best to weigh all options.

No noisy bags here. Vintage all the way.

I wouldn't have believed this find and the circumstances behind it except I recently got a sealed Captain Power Power Base at a yard sale for ten bucks that was just left in a garage a couple of weeks ago. So I guess people are finally getting around to unloading their expensive Mattel playsets from 1987!

If I walked into a yard sale and saw all that stuff for sale in the garage, I'd have a very hard time keeping my poker face on.

Good luck, Den.
I wonder what the last mega playset that was made. Do they even make things like this anymore?

Post by den82 on Oct 12, 2012 11:24:25 GMT -6
They sure don't. Mattycollector is doing a Castle Grayskull and it's going to be in the $250-$300 range and you know it will not be as big as Eternia.

They do. The new secret sewer lair of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles states "over 40 inch tall" on the package. So there are some playsets even nowadays, which are that huge. And you cannot say that the new MOTUC Grayskull is small, being at least 25 inches high.
