    How does my first born sound as an offer for everything in the picture?

    A very nice find, and rather nice looking too!

    Prime was one of my Grails too, I managed to pick up the mail away exclusive just last year, I was so happy!

    Congrats on the score, especially at such a fantastic price. :thumb 

    Pre-rub Prime was one of my first grails to obtain. I love the bloated accessories, the gray roller and the metal trailer panels.

    Great find, congrats!

    For me a G2 Prime w/ box is as far as I go on vintage. But I always wanted a Powered Convoy.

    I like how the one Diaclone turret robot thing looks like it's sneaking up on the other one to pinch its ass

    That's a beautiful picture.

    What are these "metal trailer panels" that are being mentioned? I don't see any metal panels, it all looks like plastic to me.

    those large sticker on each side of the trailer when it open, those aren't stickers they're painted chrome plates. that's why the driver that still has working magnets sticks to it

    Super sweet buy. I got the 25th, and that was my first G1 Prime mold, so the fact that you got one in that good of a condition is a win. Love the micromen as well!

    yep. the easiest way to tell is to look at the trailer from the outside. above and below the prime trailer decal, there are 4 rectangular holes. you can look thru the holes and see the shiny metal behind it.
