Why? its a little tiny piece of crap. Its the same size as the $25 classic figures length wise, but without the trailer its only about half the size of the $8 classics. It comes with a crappy voice box with 2 short sound clips, a crappy repro of the OG transformers #1 comic, and a DVD. What the hell makes this piece of crap $70? Hasbro has lost their god damn minds! What a rip off! ill see these on the clearance rack in january along with the $150 starwars vehicles and the $65 joe battle pack!

thats easy. Its seventy bucks because they know TF nerds will pay it no problem. You and I are in the minority in saying we wont buy a rereleased g1 optimus prime with extra junk.
TF are like SW fans. They care little for price. |

Not to mention, this mold has paid for itself 20 times over by now. You'd think it'd be cheaper than ever given how many times it's been reissued. Oh well, the price combined with the neutered smoke stacks means I won't be buying.

Have you head about the new Masterpiece Grimlock? $130 or $150 & it's going to be as tall as Masterpiece Starscream (little dinky thing). Stupid ass Transformers collectors are ordering them like crazy. They have more money than brains!
I'm with you! I'm waiting to get this Prime on clearance after X-Mas. |

You're totally right and I'm glad someone else has noticed that. That price is past ridiculous. This is a bad sign of things to come.
Collector's are now making a huge impact on toy sales and it seems big business is definitely trying to take advantage of us. I urge everyone that may have a "compulsive collecting" problem to please not give in to any shiny $50 cardboard box. Not even if it has your name, "Collector" written anywhere on it.
