IIRC I think he was like $90. But the dollar was pretty strong at the time and inflation seems to hit toy prices everywhere else a lot harder than in the US

Edit: But I wouldn't be surprised to see this figure go for at $160-180. Shit, the original Striker Prime was $120 then jumped up to $130 so...

^Wow. I'm sorta glad I held off on getting the DOTM 2 Pack as I didn't care for Jetfire too much, let's hope this one looks great...

Exactly.

The I got the original ROTF Prime Jetfire combo pack for $150. Didn't it go up to $250?

I'll be happy if this Prime goes for under $200. Especially if he's cool enough to get. It sounds great, but if they've chromed his head and his crotch plate and made his hands metallic while paining everything else yellow and pink polka dots I won't be on board.

I'm exaggerating, but there have been plenty of WTF repaints.

Hmm very tempting. I'll bite if he is under 200 but my guess is he'll be more then that.

Dammit, I already own Buster Prime (DOTM release), Jetwing Prime, Striker Prime, and DMK Prime. I don't need another one to drain my wallet like a red, blue, and chrome vampire. XD

Though the designation of 01 makes me wonder if this is only the first in a line of premium deco Leader figures. Premium Ironhide and Sentinel Prime would make this line irresistible to me!
