if you're an OG collector in 2005, you're completely screwed. Reissues destroyed the vintage market.
Grapple for $55
Inferno for $65
Hotrod for $145
A beat up Starscream for $85
Sideswipe for $75
Hoist for $75
What we're paying now for identical toys is a fraction of what it was for the past 10 years.
