I usually see them in the $250 range. So that's a little high it seems to me. I couldn't justify spending that much on one figure even though Scratch would be cool to have. I really wish I would have just got one in store back in the day when they were what like 5 or 6 bucks?

Hehe, I loved playing with Scratch! Him and his little wise-ass stool pigeon. Man, that pigeon was always causing some crazy shenanigans! Then I'd have to get my Hotspot out to put Scratch in line.

Yeah, I'm basically being a bas+ard by telling that story but it is a true account and yes I really do have them; although mine are MITB (mint in toy box!)

Yeah I would never buy a mint in box action figure for more than like 20 bucks. Cuz I would prolly end up playing with it or put it on display posing with all my other figs. No matter how rare it is...I feel like I have to let it breathe. yeah I know...

I got mine loose for $3... But ended up paying $20 for Jailbird. Still a good buy!

I've had 8 MOC Scratch's over the years and he is definitely one of the rarer figures from the line.

Yeah, according to Wikipedia, he is the rarest figure. Kinda weird too cause he is such a miniscule character from the whole TMNT universe.

He is probably the most expensive figure. But I wouldn't call him the rarest. MIB Black Belt Boxing Mikes (the recalled Ninja Action Mike figure) are less common. Several of the later releases are less common on eBay in my time looking. Though I will admit that I haven't actively searched vintage TMNT auction in a while.

I've seen them sell in the $150-$160 range a few times over the past few months...you just gotta be patient to find him cheaper than $300 (and willing to spend a little $$)

Really? I would have went into cardiac arrest if I had seen it. Any reason you didn't pick it up or do you just not collect the old line?
