There's actually 3 on eBay right now. . . One of which is Mint on Card at £60 (Buy it Now).
The other two are Loose and £95 and £100 respectively.
Can't see the £60 MOC one hanging around too long!

Darkmount did get UK distribution - I can recall Asda having him - but his wave was the last to get UK distribution.
There was a later Generations wave of 1 per case mostly non UK release figures grey imported by TRU but he wasn't in that

I meant not easy to find cheapy cheap! Funnily enough, because I'd viewed that £60 one a couple of times, the seller offered it for £48. Unfortunately, it was time-limited and I missed the window, plus I'm saving what little I have left for Collectormania this weekend, otherwise I may have snapped it up at that price despite already having one. |

With patience you could probably do much better than that anyway. After all, it isn't the ones that are currently on eBay that act as a price guide, it's the ones that recently sold!
At a quick glance the price of Darkmount fluctuates a lot, but as recently as January he sold for around 20 euros MOSC, though also once for closer to 90. US sellers seem to consistently sell him around the 30 mark, which depending on shipping is almost worth it. United Straxus is on a different level though...
I can imagine a lot of them being listed in the coming months now that the pipeline reveal has been made. It was noticable when that listings leak happened a month or so back that a whole bunch of Unite Warriors / Combiner Wars Aerialbots started turning up on the secondary market and we haven't even seen toys yet, let alone had their existence confirmed.

Within the limitations of the base mould I think Straxus looks pretty great! The shoulders and arm kibble are a bit distracting, but he mostly looks the part and is a better size than the old deluxe.

Straxus looks fantastic!
Even with that minor kibble, he looks so much more solid than his 'Darkmount' mould, looks very comic accurate and that alt mode is spot on!

I don't think it's hard to work out who's hand that is on the edge of Straxus' art..... |

That's not Jhaixus's shoulder though.
Could it be an Xaaron? A Scrounge?
The pointy shoulder guard is nagging at me, I do recognise it, but I can't place it...

I’d been hoping it would be a comic-colored Hot Rod from the SS86 mould, but it doesn’t quite fit

I had thought not because so far they’ve all been leader class, but what if they throw in … The Chair

Two of them have been repaints, so to me that makes me think this will be a Straxus level retooling.

Though they didn’t include those extra bits with Shockwave that bulked him up to a leader in Siege did they, just the Prime head and platform which don’t quite make it up.
I’m also expecting an Autobot given what we’ve had so far. Depending on the pose it could be Hot Rod, or maybe Rodimus Prime with colors and a cover homaging UK 113?

They'd have to inhibit the toy so it couldn't transform!

They'd have to inhibit the toy so it couldn't transform! If they use the Earthrise Megatron again, the tolerances will be so poor you won't want it to. And if you try it will explode. Both are comic accurate. |
