I couldn't quite pull the trigger at 110-120 and now even the most recent release is 140 minimum, while the earlier ones are approaching 200.
Japan Booster just closed this yesterday.
I was the same way when the first one came out. When I saw the MSRP of over $100, I just laughed. Then 2, 3 years later, I actually got interested, but still disliked the green(first release), didn't care for second one either(blue/tan). Third one is "Honda Express", so definitely didn't want to go that route, though I actually thought the color/livery was okay.
By the time I came to the decision I no longer could wait for TLV to release another Transporter, the first green truck had grown on me. I actually paid $235 for mine(thought it was $225, PayPal exchange rates bumped it up to $235).
Only problem, it arrived like this:
Store I bought it from opted to give me partial refund, rather than going through postal insurance for some reason. I didn't mind, because I could just super glue the bumper back on fairly easily(you know I love gluing parts to TLVs anyhow lol). They gave me back roughly $107, so with the exchange rates, I can't remember what it ended up finally being, but I think it was bit over $120.
These Transporter seems to be dropping quite a bit in value. An year or two ago, it was normal to see them close at over $200. Lately, they don't seem to come close to that in eBay auction listings. I've won one from Japan Booster too(mint this time), and that was only $115.
