The 25th Anniv ver beats even the awesome 20th Ed.

I don't remember Optimus requiring 3 AAA batteries... which weren't even on the market yet.  Also, the original roller was blue.  What kind of scam are they trying to pull?

[nectarsis]

I believe the Autobot symbol is a "voice box" that takes the AAA's.  And the "original" roller came in both blue or grey.

[Duo_R]

WOW! Kinda pricey though....

[nectarsis]

Give it some time, prob after cristmas.  The 20th was clearanced after a bit, sored my last one for $25 (orig $50).

And the "original" roller came in both blue or grey.

The one I owned was blue.  Any Transformer that wasn't owned by me was not official and therefore does not and cannot count.

[TR0N]

The kid in me says buy it since i didn't own one then.

Though the adult in me says waste of money you can do better.

Wraaaaaaaaaa i'm so confused btw i'm telling the truth on not having optimus prime as a kid.

Is that $70 Canadian or something? $70 is the highest price I've ever seen for a G1 re-issue. I paid less than that for my Japanese Masterpiece Convoy.

Plus that voice box thing is hella stupid. I'd seek out one of the million other G1 re-re-re-releases.

[nectarsis]

Wll you def got a deal on the Masterpiece Convoy as he is around $110 on average (though he is usually the cheapest Masterpiece).  I can't WAIT for the Masterpiece Grimlock 

[turbokon]

I definitely going to walmart to see if I can get one! Hell Yeah!

[ParanoiaDragon]

I have the previous reissue of Prime, so, all I'm waiting for is more reissue's to come out, that I don't have.

[Lord Thag]

I still have the original one. He stands guard over my loose intellivision carts

I would think it would go well with this  Though the game was only for the C64.

  MUST get C64
