Which Transformer was your favorite?

$48.88  Wow!

I checked out Toys 'R Us earlier this week and all they had was Thundercracker and a couple other Transformers (well they had tons of Transformers, but all from different generations). Thundercracker was around $14.99 or something.

You won't find him at Toys R Us, he's a Walmart exclusive   And, he does have some die cast metal in him, though, it doesn't seem like there's as much as there is in Masterpiece Optimus Prime.  50 bucks ain't bad for a Masterpiece figure, I forget what I paid for Optimus, for Megs, since they can't release him in the States, was around 100 bucks.

I'll have to take a trip up to Walmart then. hehe. It's just cool to be able to get Transformers that actually look like they did on the cartoon. Did they do an Ironhide? I saw some rumour on a forum but that's about it. The Voyager Jetfire is cool, but I'd like to get my hands on the original. It had three forms: plane, robot and guardian modes like Robotech/Battletech.

I'm officially jealous.  I'd consider buying them, but that means money I can't spend on my Turbo Duo.

I wonder how Megatron makes it past customs?  I hope he's in robot mode in the packaging otherwise customs agents would freak out.

He shoots everyone. Megatron doesn't do customs.

You got it!  He's already packaged in robot mode, so, no problems there.  Though, it seems like most online stores, will add an orange plug to the barrel anyways(mine did), however, needle nose pliers solves that problem....atleast, it did for me

As for more Masterpiece figures, as of now, there are only 5 I can think of, 3 original molds(Prime, Megs, & Starscream), & 2 repaints(white Optimus Prime as Ultra Magnus & black Starscream as Skywarp).  I think there might've been talk of a Masterpiece Grimlock.  I haven't heard anything about Ironhide.  Fankly, I would love a Masterpiece of every G1 bot, but, wow, that would be expensive.  As it is, I was collecting all the re-releases of G1, & those were pretty expensive to keep up with.  I can only imagine several hundred $50 toys to collect
