Black Head Destro

Metroponok74 · 08-04-2008, 06:01 PM

Almost missed out on it too, look who's under the figs.... Dang Hasbro.
So, How hard is this going to be to find this guy? I just want it for Wall display,I got a gold head destro for the grenedier, I saw that first and was stoked enough. Then naturally curious to see what else lurked further back, watching names as I sifted through, passed snakes up and then it registered I thought I saw another grenedier so I double checked and sure enough there it was in my hand, Black Head Destro, So I bought it in the event I wouldn't see another, cause it'd be super swell to have one packed right. Know what I mean ;-)
So anyone got any advice? Keep it? open it? Is this going to be a common figure? I see on ebay one with the correct packing is going for silly amounts of dough. You never know what a mis pack will do. Oh also It does have everything else correct, the comic, card back, and it's never been opened. Just the wrong insert....drat

Sorry for the crappy pic, best I could do in a pinch and I was dying to know what to do with this.
Thanks for any input and your time everyone!

Thanks though, like I said I do want to keep it for display, I opened the gold pack so I could get that grenedier up next to the cooler looking single pack destro. I was just wondering if anyone thought there would be more of them coming to shelves anytime anywhere. But If I find another I'd sure let you have the mispack....Sad thing is I thought I read they'd be packed light or something. So I don't anticipate ever seeing another one. Still surprised I found one in the first place

If the ratio is 1 for every 3, then should it be worth 3 packs??

No clue, I'm an old school transformer collector for the last eight years, been reading the joe books since devils due first came out with them but as far as collecting the figs the 25th line kinda sucked me in. The rub is I only collect cobras. Still tricky business as everyone knows who goes out hunting. I've bought duplicates for figs from the first waves I didn't wanna open and thats what BHD was supposed to be, just bummed about the mispack art. So with the ratio you just gave me I can assume that I may have a hard time finding another?

Ummm.......

I would say yes That is a good Find! Do I think it will fetch you Some Cash, IDK?

Ebay has a lot of them starting from 25 BIN to 69 BIN. IMO I would hold on to it for awhile.
If you don't want it,..............I will take it..LOL

My first instinct was that this was repackaged but then who on earth would be dumb enough to replace SE/SS with the Black Headed Destro and Grenadier? With that said I've seen more minor packing errors than that fetch a hefty price on ebay, so I'd either keep it or sell it. It would probably be a mistake to open it.

So far i have seen 1 black head and 10 gold

I purchased one last night (correct) and I opened him up this morning! This figure is too devastating to leave in a wack two-pack! Do the right thing and let the REAL leader of your Grenadiers loose!
