I paid about $215CAD shipped for the 1000Toys. I'd say that's a bit more than what it's worth. If I had to put a dollar value on it, i'd say it's worth about ~$140 USD
Loads of diecast, great articulation and like I said, not much left to be desired.
That being said, if you don't own the 1000Toys IG, the Diamond Select does a great job as a stand-in--provided you get one with good QC. I felt myself constantly comparing the DS to the standards already set by the 1000Toys, which was a bad thing for the DS. But I mean it's literally 1/5 the price, so it's still great
