red foot came from an odd press in France. That same press is being used to remake all these Primes. Technically, this KO is nothing more than the exact same toy, made 21 years later.

it'll make you want 2. :wtc:

 

I believe the original red-foot was a genuine French release.

Thanks for the link, that makes my decision wether or not to buy two so much easier [/sarcasm]

 

i think s-o-c is more interested in the money and wouldn't mind that much in us reselling. but yeah, better not risk messing up this crazed relationship we have going on..

so let's see.. how have my purchases gone:

- reissue optimus years ago, then last year, reissue smokescreen..
- then i made the mistake of getting involved in the TF thread.. :chuckles:
- TFC #00-19.. bam
- jazz reissue
- 2 sideswipe reissues
- TFC #20
- 20th Anniv. Prime
- OG KO Tapes
- MP Ultra Magnus

In transit (i hope):
- insecticons (shrapnel, kickback)
- constructicon (scrapper)

Pre-orders:
- TFC #21
- 2 THS-02 convoys
- red foot prime
- crystal clear tapes

the majority of this has been since feb.. it started in dec. make it stop. :wtc:

 

remember that one time, you got TFC 00 - 19 in one shot?




that was awesome. :hsugh:

 

make it stop.. :wtc:

:chuckles:

i'm fighting myself not to open them and set up a big battle scene.. :noes:

 

Sell them. TFC's are garbage. :down::down:


:uhhok:

 

I'll let you know when I see a G1 loose lot for sale on fleaBay. When you're lucky, you'll find these cheap. (20+ figures for $30, etc)




okay, this is cool.

I still dont understand what makes it so sought after

 

"hard hero" oh baby! :hay:

it's funny, i bought the two sideswipes so i could open one. guess what, they're still sealed.

 

it's a freak variant of the most popular TF of all time. It's one thing to have any Optimus Prime, it's another to have one with red feet. This was a time before e-Hobby, so any "mistakes" are extremely collectible.

Without eBay, there's no way any US collector could ever locate an Optimus Prime from France. Even with eBay, only a handful exist MISB ... of which go for 3 to 4K.




To all ...
If you do buy one of these, please do not list it on eBay. I don't want to piss off Derry.
