    Tracks is a perfect example of overcompensating for poor distribution the first time around...:(

    I have a feeling that the majority of high bids, especially for ALTs, are from European buyers since importing ALTs isn't cheap anyways... Cheaper than the price for OP now??? Yes... But also keep in mind that the current trend of ALTs in Europe is the fact that they come out MUCH MUCH later than when we get them... :thumbs2:

    I know many people don't like the packaging, but I think Optimus looks awesome in it. I love the art too.

    Must Buy

    For some guys, a new Alternator is like a woman. They haven't had one in awhile so they'll do and pay anything to get one. :p

    Hmm... got to say that I like the new quote. Although, I do agree that it looks like they got whomever writes BW's speaches to come up with it because it sounds remarkably like something he would ramble... but at least now it's being said by someone I actually believe in. :D 

    Funny how they got the TF wrong for the gun on the back of the box. And it's also funny how many people were talking about how much he sucked and now he's over $100 dollars + shipping. Heh... will wonders never cease?

    Typical TF Fan Says: "Man! That *insert toy here* sucks monkey balls! He should have been *insert character or random thought of TF fan here*!" :peoples: 

    Typical TF Fan Does: They go buy it anyways and complain when they can't find one on the shelf... :redface2:

    Such a weak toy though. The first Alternator ever that I don't want at all just on the coolness of they toy. I'll get it to kitbash a Trailbreaker, but on it's own it's an aweful Prime.

    If it was Trailbreaker, no way would it be a $100 auction...

    Changing Prime's motto is just wrong, IMNSHO.
