Default Re: Movie Optimus Prime build

Hey all, long time no see. Lifes been stupid busy and havent been on here for ages!

On the weekend I was on Facebook in a local Hobbies/pastimes page, and someone asked people to post pics of their hobbies. Naturally I posted a pic of my Optimus Prime.

Someone local has now messaged me asking if i'd be interested in selling it!
I'd never actually though about it, but i must admit the idea has stirred my curiousity.

But I haven't got a clue how much it might be worth. I can add up the cost of parts, but that doesnt factor in the time i spent on it. He did say he knew it wouldnt be cheap and has asked me to come up with a price if im interested.

What are peoples thoughts?

I think it's probably worth close to that as well but I wish you luck getting it. People ask me regularly about building this that or something else from scratch. They swear up and down that they know this hobby is expensive but when you finally drop a price 99% of them gasp.lol You can try to explain the 100's of hours in labor and $1000's in parts until you are blue in the face but most don't see it because they just assume the parts magically appear and we glue them together like a Revell model for $20. Hopefully you have someone on the hook that really sees and appreciates the work you've put into the paint. It truly is an art of it's own!
