Value of the Bandai USA Series

Hello all, I've recently found all my early Godzilla Bandai usa series figures in storage. I was wondering if they have any value above the Bandai Japan counterparts? I have seen the 12 inch Gigan posted on Ebay for $250. I was planning on giving my son the Final Wars set for Christmas.

I would gladly give you $25 for the BC Rodan and MechaGodzilla '93, depending on their condition. I see some go for different prices, but can't ever find them at reasonable prices.

I have all of the boxed in perfect condition! I see some going for over $125.

People can list anything on eBay for whatever crazy price they want. It doesn't mean it sells at that price.

I can't find anything specifically like what you're describing, but I did a quick search for Bandai Creation Godzilla and the only results I found that sold for any notable price were the Showa MG, Showa Gigan, Space Godzilla and Destoroyah, with FW Rodan and 12" Kiryu coming close. All of those prices are obviously because they didn't get reissues while other figures from the line were. Even then, only Destoroyah exceeded $50.

The Crumble Zone wasn't among those completed auctions, but it is definitely notable due to being part of the first run of toys, only seeing limited release and never appearing again. That will definitely go for a decent amount of cash but not for the $180-250 some sellers are trying to get for it, at least not until months pass and some buyer gets super-desperate.
