[B]ATTENTION ALL TRANSFANS


dont know if this is old news but ,i went to TRU this week and saw that thry had marked all of the G1 transformers down to below $20 eektf.gif eektf.gif , needles to say i almost bought some doubles for such the low price.

so to all that havent picked up any here is your chance enjoy thumbsup1.gif
Taz-bot
Dont know about the others, but that's news to me. How much for the Seekers?
Ryu Hayabusa
thats right you sir can have a wonderful seeker for just a whopping 12.97....hurry hurry ....hurry
Taz-bot
12.97!
OMG, it's dream come true
Ryu Hayabusa
my eyes almost popped out of my head when i saw how low the prices where
skullfire
seekers for $12?!?!?!?

Thats cheaper than their 80's release!
Starscreamer
man at that price...I have the ORIGNALS...but I may get the re issues just to keep MISB
Hotspot17
Yeah, last Firday came back from TRU and saw that a lot of the G1 figures were around $10-15 bucks.
Marx
pfft, i wouldn't pay close to $10 for those things. Maybe $5, at most.
Ryu Hayabusa
you can buy multiple seekers and repant them as other cybertronian seekers that were 'nt in the show
dj seifer
Not all of them are on sale. I think Ricochet's still going for $35.
Opimus Pwime
Yeah, gotta love the price drops. thumbsup1.gif I THINK that Tracks and some of the others were about 15 bucks...


Oh, excuse my n00bishness, but, uh, when was the Reissue Ultra Magnus released, and is there any chance I can still get him at TRU?
**VPrime**
yeah, i bought inferno and grapple for 9 something each and hoist for 6 something at TRU the other day.
Athenor
You know, I'm tempted...

But at the same time, most of the ones at my local TRU I have next to no interest in.... which sucks.

All I really want are the triplechangers. I want the one I owned -- blitzwing, and I want the one I always wished I owned -- Astrotrain.

i bought a dupe tracks (to eventually paint red) and red alert (to paint as well). Once the seekers go down even more, I'll get a couple of skywarps or thundercrackers to repaint.
Taz-bot
How much is Prowl?

Magnus was reissued in late 2002, so the chances of finding him are pretty slim. rumblecry.gif
Raider Magnus
I'd love to get a new Screamer, Skywarp and then the one I never got- Thundercracker. My SS, SW and Ramjet have all gone to pieces.
OptimusTarzan
It is temping at these prices, but I still prefer the takara book style ones. The TRU ones are altered with non firing and viagra sized missles. I don't care, I'd still get takara's.
Tekyuinajar
Finally picked up DIrge and Landmine, both made me one extremely pleased Tekyu ^_^

I'm heading back again this friday with slim hopes that I'll be able no not blow every cent I have gettin' reissues cheap as dirt.
Taz-bot
I got Skywarp and Thundercracker about an hour ago. Starscream is gone from my area. Also got a Prowl and a Inferno.
THE STIG
is their any powermaster primes still out there? (just curious if this was on sale)
BLACK BATTLE RODIMUS CONVOY
At the TRU next to where i work i picked up inferno for 5.98 hoist for 9.99 and tracks for 10.98. they also had smokescreen, prowl,bluestreak ( silver streak just doesn't sound right to me ) for 16. 99 and riochet and rodimus for 29.99. theydidn't have any seekers thought. i do know on their website they have different prices on the reissue .

there are none in my area. havent seen him in a while. chances are they are totally sold out thumbsdown.gif
Tripredacus
Hmm I might check it out. The problem is that I own all of the toys from 1984 except 4 and all from 1985 except 6. So TRU exclusives aren't that much of a draw for me. The only real reason why I would buy any are for the accessories, and they are not as good as the originals. But I still don't have Hoist yet or Stepper. I have all the rest (as far as I know.) Except Rodimus Prime.

Another thing, it pays to shop around - some TRUs have discounted the reissues more heavily than others. I've seen price differences of over $10 in TRUs that are within five miles of each other.

Heh, they should start reissuing the reissues... laughlol.gif

Well, they've reissued G1 Optimus Prime like 4 times.

1. Japanese reissue in 2000

2. Japanese New Years reissue in 2002

3. TRU American reissue in 2002

4. Japanese bookstyle reissue #0 in 2003

So, you never know, they just might start doing that?

The funny thing is that re-releasing the first two waves of Hasbro reissues (specifically the Primes, Magnus and Starscream) would probably sell better than most of the more recent guys.
Athenor
Amen.

I would kill for an original OP or Starscream, well before anything ont he shelves now.

I think you might want to consider the Takara imports. I think Hasbro's US reissue line is dead. Astrotrain and Blitzwing are pretty easy to come by at import stores, Soundwave was very popular and now commands a premium price, but you can always pick up the Soundblaster version coming out next month as a less expensive substitute.
Ryu Hayabusa
iv been waiting on the price drop at BBT on the imports, but everytime i look they are sold out
friskyguy
I got tracks and skywarp today combined, for only 20 bucks, woohoo! too bad there's never been a freakin' sideswipe around!!!!!!!!!!!
