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

Open the floodgates, here comes Hasbro's new cash cow ...


Inferno - $7 - retailed @ $29.99
This figure can still be found at some TRU's for 50% off the green tagged price. There's nothing wrong with Inferno, but you should pay too much for him ... he was clearanced out for under $5.



Hoist - $10 range - retailed @ $29.99
This is the 3rd time in a row. First Silverstreak, then Red Alert, now Hoist? Hoist is a repaint of Trailbreaker. Why they couldn't re-issue him first, I have NO idea. Because of his G1 unpopularity, Hoist was a poor seller.



Tracks - $10 range - reatailed @ $29.99
Tracks is a great figure, but he was one of the last ones seen on the shelves. You shouldn't have to pay too much for this figure considering his last sale price was around $8.



- Hasbro is reissuing these too quickly. Series III, IV, and V were all done within 3 months. Nobody is collecting these because they're too expensive.
- Shelves are packed with TF's the collector didn't want. Gone are Prowl and Jazz, the popular G1 figures.
