How much is a Steel Brigade variation Version w/gold head worth?

Loose knee joint,
figure only,
paint fade.

These usually go for $150-200 (loose & complete) so I'd say yours is worth $100-115 max. The fc and accessories raise the price quite a bit

I would say more along the lines of $50. It is a figure only, has some paint wear and a loose joint?

100% complete with patch and filecard would go close to $350 to $400.

I would agree on the $50, but would have to say the $350 price would be for MIBag. $200 easily Mint loose complete. This is based on my experience with them over the past few years.

Yeah, I think $305-400 is a bit steep for mint loose complete. $175-225 used to be the norm, but they've creeped up a bit lately to the $200-250 range.

For one that is loose and worn with no accessories.....maybe in the $50-100 range? I know that is a wide range, but EBay is so unpredictible.

Put it on eBay. You should get a pretty high amount. I'd say closer to $80, even in it's less than mint condition

I am saying $350 with the Filecard and patch.

I would say $200 to $250 with the weapon and backpack mint.

To me, MLC is with filecard and patch for this figure. I just don't see the basis for where you are getting this figure from for it. $350 just seems a tad steep.

The filecard is worth like $80-$100...you just dont see too many of them. It is by far rarer than the patch, figure, or either of the accessories. The gun is worth about $30. I have not seen the backpack alone at auction. A mint figure alone will bring from $80-$120 depending on the day. The patch i'd say is worth about $40. A nice figure with rifle and backpack is worth about $200 just because the convenience of getting a complete figure always boosts the price a bit. I wouldnt be surprised if one got $350 on ebay mint with patch and filecard. Dfunk just had one up on ebay misb but the filecard wasnt included. I think it sold (misb with patch, gun and backpack) for around 300??

If your figure has loose knees, and excessive paint wear (paint wear is really an issue with this figure, especially if it is to the gold dome) I wouldnt expect to get more than $25-30. However, if it is just light paint wear you will be able to get more. The gold belt and arm patch are also vital to this figure's value.

im looking for the file card still myself. i have yet to find one for sale by itself. took me 2 yrs to hunt the rifle and backpack down. but i found that. btw the rifle is not worth that much as its the same one used with another version of the steel brigade. backpack is a pain though to find.

anyhow minor pw 40 ish. major pw 20-30 imho.

You guys are awesome. I'm planning on trading the figure for parts and accessories. Is the trade value higher or the same?

i personally dont think the rifle is worth that much either...one did come up for auction a few months ago however and got over $30.

while the gun can be had with other versions of the steel brigade it is still not that common.

only once in a great while does it come up with a different version of the figure

Hey, is this the backpack and gun I need for the gold version and was it a good deal?

no those are regular versions. the gun on the right is interchangeable with the gld head but the backpack is completely unique

Not to tell everyone what I spend, but I paid $200 for a GH Steel Brigade figure complete, I paid $50 for the patch and $100 for the filecard. So, I guess John your price of $350 is accurate, but I have seen it go higher than that in the past few months.

Of note, it took me 5 years to find the patch and the filecard. Thanks to a great "collector" on there for helping me out! You know who you are!

Does anyone know if there is verifiable proof of what accessories came with which Version of the Steel Brigade Mailaway premium?

Are there bagged samples of each version that somone might post pictures of or were the accessories running changes that were somewhat arbitrary with version placement?

Is Steel Brigade that rare? I think I got one in a lot I got the other day. I should look.

If it has a gold head, it is rare one. Most have a silver head. It depends on which body was used for the silver head ones as to whether it's rare or not

Looks like mine is a version A (http://www.yojoe.com/action/87/steelbrigade1.shtml). I have the gun and backpack too.

Most say version A Steel Brigade is the hardest to find after the gold head
