there's someone selling an Japanese MP Prime for $100 ... it's loose, but far better than the 20th.

Maaaaaaaybe. Know anyone interested? :hsughr:

I could even tempt you with a TRU Red Alert too, just to jumpstart your TRU Reissue collection.

you need Red Alert.

He was reissued in 2001 as a part of the e-hobby line. Only 1,000 ever made, until the TRU series. He's a great figure and a real piece of G1.

Well, it looks like our theories of Mr. Trainee007 producing the primes himself may be true. The KO OP hasn't made it's way to HK, which leads me to believe that they probably aren't massed produces in any high volume, at least not yet.

I agree completely. Plus, you'll be saving on shipping. :crazyr:

Don't make me post pictures of both of them together tonight. Then you will realize the awesomeness that is the unbeatable duo of Ultra Magnus and Red Alert.

It's very surprising. When a high quality knockoff hits the market, 5 or 6 sellers on eBay has them.

When the Prime KO hit, Trainee007 had them ... then Spirit-of-Cybertron had them, but never at the same time. It could be that Trainee007 makes them, then ships it to Spirit-of-Cybertron. When S-O-C has them, Trainee007 can go on selling his own.

The WST's are very cool. They retailed for $5.99 a pack + shipping, so this is right around cost ... sort of. You figure it would take a couple of tries to get Soundwave (since the WST box is completely sealed like baseball cards) ... so you'd end up with 5 Megatrons.

:werd: I think we should get this transaction overwith before the flood of images arrives ... if not, images might contain a few background items you might be interested in as well. :run:
