Transformers Commemorative Series II
All prices are for MISB (mint in sealed box)

Series II hit the shelves about 2 months after Series I. By the time II was released, series I was completely sold out, never to be seen again. This really gave a feel of these toys being limited in quantity.



Starscream - $50 range - retailed @ $29.99
When this figure hit, the TF reissues were all the rage. Starscream, being the 1st Decepticon reissued, was always blown right off the shelf. His box was nearly G1 identical, and even the flap opened to display the entire window.


On a site note, Starscream was also released at Disney theme parks. The variation here? He had a mickey mouse symbol on his UPC.




Powermaster Optimus - $85 range - retailed @ $50
Everybody's inital reaction ... "Who the hell is Powermaster Optimus? I don't remember this guy. $50? Forget it." Powermaster Optimus Prime, aka God Ginrai, was featured in the japanese TF story "Masterforce". He was brought over there as one of the last true G1's around the time of the Headmaster series.

At the time, $50 was an all new high for reissues. He didn't sell to well, with most stores sitting on their initial shipment for months.

Now, Powermaster Optimus Prime is really difficult to find. Only collectors who knew who he was, actually purchased him at the time.
