    Why make Powerglide into someone that isn't Powerglide?

    He's clearly Powerglide. He can be nobody else.

    Nope. I've been enjoying red Powerglide for quite awhile now. If I knew for sure they would be doing this, but that it would take this long, I still would have bought Henkei Powerglide. It's not like Henkei Powerglide cost hundrds of dollars or anything, or like this came out only a month after Henkei.

    Yes he does. I haven't seen him anywhere cheaper then 40$, and then there's the shipping cost, which is also 30$ or more (since you can only get it from China). That's around 70$... for an Ultra... not really worth it.

    Maybe he does now, but I got mine for I think $40 shipped from ebay. He wasn't expensive back when he was new.

    Edit: Actually, I think it was $50 shipped ($25 for the figure, $25 for shipping) Still not in the hundreds of dollars range by a long shot.

    Why would you say this? I don't feel dumb glad I got it and I plan on keeping it and I still plan on purchasing this one.

    Sure if you use BBTS or something similar I paid around $48 shipped I say that because I got it with other items. He was also on sale at HLJ earlier this year. Maybe you should stop buying overseas if it's costing you that much.

    Not really.

    I can't feel bad about any of my purchases. I make too much money to give it a second thought really.

    Now with this one being re-released I feel like the one I bought was a waste of money. :(

    *Sigh* Dammit, Hasbro, quit making me waste money on one figure, only to rerelease it with more accurate paint apps! :mad

    Yeah, because everyone is obviously claire voyant and MUST have known that even though they haven't done it with ANY Classics figures until this one, Hasbro would surely re-release an even more accurate G1 repaint than Takara's version nearly an entire year later during a time that they said we would have no Universe figures because of all focus being placed on Movie related figures. What a bunch of idiots.

    You know else probably feels pretty dumb? All the people who bought original G1 toys back in the 80's. They should have clearly known that if they waited 25 years, there would obviously be better, bigger and more articulated versions released.

    :rolleyes2

    I already have the Takara reissue Insecticons and I prefer the original, realistic, deco for Universe Powerglide, so I'll pass on both of these.
