| Mini-Con Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 46 | My Pepsi Primes Picked these up this recently and I am pretty stoked about them. I am on the hunt for a "Pepsi Cola" sticker variant if anyone has a lead on one for me ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am also hunting a few parts to complete these guys. I have bloated parts with no gray roller/trailer combo, I need the accessories to complete the canadian prime, and at least one complete regular prime. I really need to make a list, lol |

I picked up the Pepsi Cola variant at an antique mall this past January for $7.50. The thing looked like brand new, aside from the stickers being a bit brittle. It was in what appeared to be a Pepsi collection and had rarely, if ever, been transformed. The thing was super tight when I transformed it. Unfortunately, there were no accessories with it, so I just put everything from my old original Prime (from my childhood) on it to complete it... mostly. Here are a couple pics.

If you ever decide to sell, let me know! A buddy of mine has the '05 release so I'm grabbing that from him this week. If you don't mind me asking, what's yours got stamped on the inside of the circle that holds it yo the hitch? |

| Mini-Con Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 46 | Not sure. Was reading some stuff on the mail away movie prime and it has a 5 in it, just like the early re issue. I need to check mine, but was told it has a 6. I'm just wondering if it's the same mold as the movie one. I'm looking to buy a boxed one sooner or later and trying to gather info so I can tell if it's the real deal or a regular trailer with knock off stickers put in a hard to find box |

| Alternate Reality Patrol Join Date: Jun 2011 Posts: 665 Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin Collection Count: 600+ | Oh, I see... I can check my other original Prime trailer next week and see what number that is. It's on a shelf at work right now. But that may be different too, that one is the metal plate version (has the extra holes in the side) so I'm not sure if that'll be any help or not. [IMG] [/IMG]But let me know if I can help with any other identifying marks. And to be honest, this one had three stickers on it when I found it. One was on the trailer door, but it fell off as I was carrying it around the store... Not sure if that means anything, maybe the person who had it originally had more than one. |

| Mini-Con Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 46 | I read the pepsi cola ones had 3 stickers. I'm hoping to find another example of it to compare it too. I'm shocked at how much these have come down since I started looking at them a few years ago! I know it's just a regular prime for the most part, but it's got the extra "cheesy 80's gimmick" that I love |
