Ron Friedman auctions updates

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Ron Friedman auctions updates.

With approximately 30 minutes remaining I thought I would bring you an update on the current prices that the Ro­n Friedman (one of the head writers for the first two seasons of Transformers Generation One and Transformers: The Movie) auctions over on Heritage Au­ctions.com are standing at.  Jim Sorenson is leading a consortium of bidders to try to buy the entire set and it looks like if they do they will be paying a fair amount of money.  Currently the total bids stand at $6170 with individual auctions ranging from $55 to $850.
