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

Series VI appeared rather quickly. Since III, IV, and V were on the shelves, this just added to the pile. Hasbro decided to release 2 figures to ease the shelf pain ... unfortunately, they were repaints of toys that weren't selling. The feeling of a "limited edition" is completely gone.


Grapple - $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 Grapple, but you should pay too much for him ... he was clearanced out for under $5.

Grapple is not a junk toy at all. He's just on the shelf next to an identical Inferno.



Smokescreen - $10 range - retailed @ $29.99
3 for 3. Another Prowl repaint. This guy clogged the shelves too.

Once again, Smokescreen isn't a crap toy. He's on the shelf with the popular Prowl and nearly identical Silverstreak.



By now, true collectors migrated to the Takara reissues. They were getting all the cool toys (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Sideswipe) and we got reissued repaints.
