Remember, though, "collectors gotta collect" which means resells gotta stock up. If there is interest, there is value.

At first I had no interest, but something about it does appeal to me. This is the only movie figure which does. Isn't the Universe Unicron being reissued again for a similar price? That will likely sell fast too.

 

I'm not spending that much for a repaint....what a bunch of idiot's at hasbro

 

No way I would spend over $75. Even then i would probably wait for it to go on sale. Getting devy set the bar for me on what $150 is worth in the Hasbroverse.

I guess the label on the box makes it worth double lol. How did that work out for platinum edition optimus primal? 

 

Well hang on... if there is a market, and people do rush to buy it... then I'd call it smart.

 

It's probably $150 because they use much cheaper plastic for current figures and the plastic they use to make a 10-year-old figure is more expensive.

 

If it was $100 I'd pick it up with little hesitation. At that price, I'm gonna have to wait for a coupon or something.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA NO!
No!
Just no! 150$? For a CYBERTRON PRIMUS? HAHAHAHA! Hasblow continues to amaze. Everyone has there tastes. I get that. But 150$? You really gotta start drawing a line somewhere.

 

Man, I want this since I missed out the original release since I was a kid, and he would go perfectly next to the Energon repaint of Unicron. But the price is such a no no to me.

 

Dang,stole my news credit. Haha found it and posted it around 10 am

 

Im referring to the product id number tru gives them.
It and the sku are specific to that item in tru systems.
You can actually call and verify the item is available so you don't waste a trip.. .... just makes it easier to locate it.

 

I'm going to pick it up only if it's still around on clearance. Got the original for 49.99.

I like the new colors more but not at that price obviously.

 

Aaah. Try 32793, then.

Yeah, they can keep this thing.

 

This is gonna sell as well as the platinum Cybertron supreme Starscream TRU exclusive did few years ago. It'll be discounted in no time.

 

I don't know, I like the look of this. I've never owned this mold and out of the two deco's previously released, I prefer the impossible to find 2010 release. The original is kind of... flat. This one pops.

 

Forte the price, that box is like 150% larger than it has any right to be.

 

Exactly. Trying to justify the cost bump by just increasing the box size. Not sure many parents would even fall for that.

 

I hate to say this since I usually support Hasbro & Takara but I'm gonna hold off on this release and maybe, just maybe pick it up at Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx. $150 is truly outrageous.

 

I used to walk uphill both ways to school in a snowstorm we'd buy old tennis shoes for a quarter and we had to get up early each day five hours before we went to bed, our dad would murder us in cold blood every night and we were grateful in those days.

Course you tell that to folks these days and they won't believe a word of it

 

Just buy the old one loose for like 50? They are common and easy to find
