This is concerning $10 , I really wanted the line to survive to see what we would’ve gotten down the road but doesn’t seem meant to be . Hound is the same price btw

 

[Dake]

Honestly, I'd have been more interested in toy colors across the board, but MSRP was too much regardless.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I was hoping for a toon style Rodimus as a companion piece.

I wouldn't worry about it. It is just the first wave and it's on deep discount at Christmas time.

I was willing to pay full price for Hot Rod for a variety of reasons, but that's not something I could easily keep up.

Would love a Hound for $10, though, but that never seems to happen around here.

Read we’re getting a retro Optimus and a bombshell / ramhorn 2 pack sometime this year

First images from SDCC, showing the Retro Optimus Prime. Like most of the recent reissues, this one is sporting cartoon colors. Looks spiffy, but between United and Missing Link...I think I might be "good" on retro Optimii

Hmmm... I already have both of the Missing Link versions, but that does look really good.

...And it would give me a trailer for my toon-colored Missing Link version...

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

I swear, if that costs about as much as Missing Link...

 

[The Phazer]

That looks horrible.

 

[Darth_Prime]

I’m normally a rip it open and play with it kinda guy, but this one could make a cool in package display for the collection. All depends on price.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

It looks like a pretty good G1 Prime reissue, but that's been done so many times that it isn't all that exciting anymore. Maybe if they'd gone with the Missing Link mold or something, but unless this is under $40 or so (and I expect at least $70, probably more), it's not really worth hunting down. Even without getting into Walmart's haphazard distribution.

 

[Sciflyer]

Yeah, I feel like this is an interesting release, but I prefer the toy deco on G1 Prime. As Sabrblade mentioned though, there might be a percentage of toon-deco Missing Link Prime owners that this would appeal to for the trailer alone (might being the operative word). But yeah, it will probably be pretty pricey to those who just want the trailer, so I guess we'll see.

I do not have a G1 Optimus in my collection. After all the years of collection, I've never picked up a version of him since my original died back in 1987. I feel like it has been something missing in my collection, but haven't felt the itch to have one when the past versions have been available. Now, with SS86 coming, I might have to pick up a G1 Prime just for posterity sake. This one looks pretty damn nice for that purpose.

 

[The Predaking]

I can see myself picking one up on clearance, but I doubt they will be priced low enough for me to justify picking it up to get an Optimus in Toon colors.

Da frick is a “4th Party” figure? That like a knock off of a knock off?

Da frick is a “4th Party” figure? That like a knock off of a knock off?

Yes. It's typically used to refer to KOs of third-party-original figures, even though all of it is still just a form of IP infringement. It's a very dumb term.

I'm only interested if it comes with the styrofoam packaging like the original original.

 

[MegaMagnus]

I’m just hoping this line continues and we get an ultra magnus , Kup , Astrotrain , blitzwing
