  • Artfire2000's Transformers Marketplace

  • Welcome to this humble little corner of the web where Transformers are sold!

    I started off in the late 90's and early 2000's as a collector back when alt.toys.transformers was still the watering hole for us fans to gather. Much has changed since then, but I am now returning to sell a few items here and there.

    My passion for rare and Japanese TFs has not diminished. The links above will show you the goods and answer most of your questions. Please look around and see if there's anything that strikes your fancy!

    My hope is that this site, at the very least, will be eye-candy for all the fans and collectors out there.

    Please "like" my Facebook Page to get updates on when new items get posted!

    Feel free to anytime if you have any questions.

    I frequently have auctions up on eBay. Please visit to see the latest goods!

    Thanks for visiting, and happy hunting!

1988 C-303 Headmaster Minerva MIB

This is the first female Transformer released. Personally, I think it’s a lot more beautiful than the Nightbeat version of this mold. The red and the white are absolutely beautiful, and make a lot more sense than blue and yellow. This item comes complete and mint in box. As you can see from the images, the stickers on this item are in pretty great shape with just a little bit of wear. This Minerva is quite white, with minor yellowing. You can see the shade different in the closeup head shot near the bottom where her arms can be seen next to her chest. However, when on display, she is still a beauty. Box has some tears on the front left and side flaps, and some creases on the top left. Styro has some tape and damage. Please see photos for details.

PRICE: SOLD!

Diaclone 31 Truck Crane Camion Gru (Grapple) MIB

Diaclone collectors rejoice! Here is a very hard to find Italian Diaclone Camion Gru (Truck Crane in Japan). The toy itself is in minty shape with the exception of the Diaclone license plate sticker, which has a little damage. The rest of the item seems to be really nice with great chrome and generally unused. Comes with the standard bopper missile, and the later Italian Diaclone/Transformers copyrightss. Box is in solid shape with a little bit of window damage from the toy. Comes with instructions!

PRICE: Sold!

1988 D-307 Powermaster Overlord MIB

Here’s another chance at great Overlord in box! The toy itself is in nice shape. He’s complete with all parts, none of which are broken (which is rare!). The box itself has some large tears on the front, most of which are on the right side but is displayable and repairable should one choose to do so. Styro also has some staining, which can be seen in the photos. Again, a great chance to pick this one up at a good price.



PRICE: SOLD!

1989 C-326 Galaxy Shuttle First Edition in Box

This is a wonderful display piece for a really rare item. Galaxy shuttle comes complete with styro and a box in rough shape. Galaxy shuttle itself is in played-with condition. Someone clearly didn’t like that he was an Autobot and took to X-ing out his insignia (see image for details). Additionally, the tip of his left wing is missing. There is light yellowing on some of the parts, which can be seen most clearly where his large side sticker used to be. The box is a first edition box, but clearly has significant portions missing. Please see pics for box details.

PRICE: SOLD!

1988 C-301 Headmaster Goshooter MIB

Go shooter is in great shape and complete, with pretty good stickers. Item is almost bone white, with an almost imperceivable amount of discoloration on the back window panel. When I opened this item, some of the edges of the door stickers were lifting, probably from age. They stick back quite well. Please see the photos for box condition, as it has a surface tape tear on one of the flaps. Comes complete with instructions and biocard!


PRICE: SOLD!

1987 C-109 Targetmaster Stepper Vintage

This is a beautiful vintage piece in very nice condition. Stickers are very mint, and chrome only has very minor wear. The body and the Targetmaster are vintage. The backpack is from the reissue (almost impossible to tell the difference). Despite the glut of reissues, it’s still very difficult to find a vintage Stepper, especially in this condition.

PRICE: Sold!

1988 Powermaster Overlord MIB

This is a very displayable Overlord. Box has some big tears, which is common for an item this size. The tear in the top left has been repaired, but the others are not (see image on the bottom left of box front for details; I would recommend supporting the tears from the inside with some simple card stock and glue). There’s an inner flap missing, which you can’t see from the front but can from the bottom. Toy is in good shape, with a hint of discoloration on the robot arms, but as you can see in the photo, it’s very light. Although complete, two of the radars have small bits broken off. Stickers are in pretty good shape with some light wear. Styro has some damage. All around, a great piece for a great price!

Price: Sold!
