    The awesome Gaia Unicron Prime on display at work with me. First edition is king but this guy is a close second with that nice metallic red paint.

    The Beast Hunters toys are so neat. I wish we would have had the story behind them. It would have been so much fun. Plus, I definitely would have got more Predacons. I'm still looking for Ripclaw at a good price. I just wanna see our favorite characters back in new molds. All of them looking predacony to disguise themselves as preds... or maybe it's to encourage the rise of the preds? I never got to read the full story that came in the instructions w/ the Beast Hunter figures. Does anyone know where I can read all of those?

    I sold mine some time back, and don't regret it, but it is a really decent figure.

    Eh, I didn't like it enough to ignore the market value. Also, those stickers really kind of hurt it, and the plastic didn't feel robust enough to enjoy posing it.
    Rarety doesn't equal quality. It was decent, just not very fun.

    I hate stickers as well.
    That’s why I never applied them.

    I swear Beast Wars and TF Prime have some of the best looking figures in the whole franchise. I only have PRID Arcee and Beast Hunters Shockwave, and I love them. Kinda thinking about grabbing a few more of these guys to display with my other Autobots and Decepticons.

    Okay, so here's just a couple pics I just took for whatever reasons. Around Christmas, I got my toyhax stickers in the mail and I placed one on each shoulder of Optimus so he has his chrome Autobot symbols.

    I also put one on Allen's chest, over the one that's placed inside of his chest. That one is the holo-glow sticker. The holo-glow looks so cool!

    I finally put water in the fish tank thing--it was only a dollar from the dollar store. The fish are supposed to grow. It's a nice size for my Transformers to have a fish tank XD

    Hi fellow board members,

    Where do I buy, preferably MISB, Transformers: Prime figures?

    I’ve never collected any and have recently decided I want to as the designs are some of my favorites.

    The majority on eBay are 2-3x over there initial retail value, even used. I’m looking for 100% complete figures, much prefer brand new/MISBs while being as close as original retail price points as possible.

    Please help, thanks!

    EDIT: If any of you are selling figures, please let me know. Thanks!

    I sold of a big majority of my Prime figures (including my Breakdown) to help pay for some medical bills I had the time but I do regret that I didnt keep my First Edition Optimus and PRID Megatron. I did keep my Prime Ratchet (and BH Ratchet) and Knock Out since I really loved those characters.

    But I also kept a big chunk of my BH Predacons (I only sold off molds I had one or two repaints of). I broke them out yesterday seeing if they might be something I want to sell off to make room but I just can't bring myself to sell them. Vertebreak would be the closest I would sell but I love that mold just for the name. But Darksteel, Sky Lynx, Ripclaw, Cryo-Predaking, I love them all just as much as I did when I first got them. Robot modes vary but they really shine in their dragon modes and that is exactly how I display them.

    My favorite of all my BH Predacons is still that larger Predacons Rising Predaking figure that was exclusive to Target. I wish the dragon head was more poseable but that wing span in both dragon and robot mode makes him look so damn imposing. Only issue is he really can't hold up his tail sword much anymore but other than that, I still have him proudly displayed in dragon mode, wings outstretched assuming his throne over all the other BH Predacons.
