There are stacks of him at one of the local Targets. They also have about 20 Starscreams and 20 Megatrons stacked on the top shelf.

Cybertron Prime is the hottest actionfigure going right now.


Remember when we were shopping for the kids last week? I asked you to get a Prime because I couldn't find one. 2 Targets, 1 TRU, no prime, only Megatron.

And this is what you'll remember with disgust in a year when you're paying $75 for a Prime on ebay...:cry:

It happened to me with the TRU G1 Reissues and the Takara TFC's...I remember passing up 00 Prime when he was $70 and there were four of them on a shelf in front of me...passed up TRU UM...passed up Power master prime...then payed a fortune for them on e-bay.

If you don't do it for yourself, do it for little Hammy :usa:

I remember passing up a TFC00 at a local shop because $100 was too much.

Remember when we were at TRU a couple of years ago? You held up the TRU UM and showed it to me...

me: "I'm not paying $35 for that."

And I didnt' pay $35. I paid $66. h:

Powermaster Prime....

The point is that get them while they're still available through local retail outlets or by the time you do come around and start thinking they're cool...you'll be SOL searching on Ebay, hoping to find a MISB one and paying a fortune.

The Cybertron boxes for the Leader Class figures aren't that sturdy. They're all plastic windows. Go to the store and get em now, while you still have the ability to pick through the shelf for toys in the best condition packaging. Get in on the ground floor, like Rabidmonk did with everything.

EDIT: Six Predaking Giftsets back in the day...truly brilliant...:bowdown:
