I agree with that. $90-ish for a dead-on BL is cool, but I think this mofo's getting greedy. $150 is too much. A few more bucks and you've got a TFC or NYP.

Andrew, I said the same thing a couple of years back. When you start running out of things to buy, you will start to look for the more rare items. It's funny to see your progression in this mess, cause your patterns were exactly like mine. Just look at your e-hobby drive.

I AM YOUR FUTURE!

 

If I saw a gold prime ... glittering, g1 package, $199.99 shipped ... I wouldn't know what to do.

1. lucky draw figures that have gold rims fetch $1,000
2. it's gold
3. when I get on MTV Cribs, TF edition ... I'd bust out with the bling.

Gold Jazz + Gold Prime = something Mr. T would want


:werd:

$150 for something that cost $35 to stock? That's not cool .

 

hahahaha ... ohnoes

 

You'd buy it.

Then you'd loose your genitailia in an unfortunate gold TF transforming accident, get a Dutch accent, and start calling everything "toight".

 

I hope they make a neon pink Prime.

 

agreed! unfortunately, people are paying it, so i doubt he'll be coming down in price again; at least not any time soon..

so.. no one knows of any eBay/PayPal coupons? :hsugh:

 

Sadly the only eBay deal right now is for free shipping boxes. :hs:

 

I want free boxes! Hook it up!

It is quite humorous to receive empty boxes in the mail. :chuckles:

 

Supposedly, the Q2 Transformer releases will be announced this week. This will be very interesting to see, because the Tomy / Takara merge will be completed. I want to see what direction Tomy will go ... Takara went Convoy crazy to generate quick cash. They should be out of Convoys to reissue. With the bootlegs hitting the market, this should force them to make something besides Prime.

Also, Galaxy Force is done ... carrying the TF load will be reissues.

I also learned that TFC01 Jazz was made from G1 Stepper's press. Jazz was lost, but Takara reworked what they had. Same goes with Soundwave ... he was made from Soundblaster.

Possible reissues they could do with existing presses ...
- Targetmaster Artfire - This was a rare redeco of Inferno
- Minibots Tailgate (Windcharger), Outback (Brawn) ... Cliffjumper and US keychains too?

Possible reissues based on trends ...
- Blurr or Springer (to complete the 2010 cast with Rodimus & Kupp)
- Cyclonus or Scourge (to complete the 2010 cast with Galvatron)

or fantasy reissues ...
- Dinobots
- Combiner giftsets
- Headmasters
- Wheeljack, Mirage, Sunstreaker (all lost presses)
