Default Transformer nerds ...

we'll post toy related talk in here.



At Toys R Us, most G1 reissues have been green tagged, which means you take an extra 50% off the lowest price.


= $4.74

in store, and all stores vary too.

Some may be loaded with jets, some may not be.



while you're out, be sure to look for:


the line "alternators" is extremely colletible with a horrible distribution method. This guy is brand new, but will ship this month only.

His 2004 counter part, Tracks, was only seen for 2 months:


Now he pulls $60 to $80 minimum on eBay.

Hmmm... both of the TRU's that are nearby had at least 3 of the Alternator Tracks.

If that's true, I'll eat my desk.


People are dying because this is the only figure they're missing.

I was in both of them last weekend and saw them. I shall stop on the way home tonight to see if they're still there.

One of the TRU's has about 20 of the G1 Ricochets and the other has all of the jets except for Starscream.

edit: I think the Super Wal-Mart by my in-laws house has a couple Tracks too.

Ricochet is the 1 of the 2 not on sale.

The other is Silverstreak, which is a typo in the system as "G2" not "G1", so it was never picked up in the sale pricing.


If you could get me a thundercracker and skywarp, I'll pay you back. :hugglez:

For real though, if you do find those tracks, you can easily make some bank off of them. The other hard to get one was Meister (Jazz, RX-8), but he was seen for 4 months, not 2.

damn, well there goes more $$$. I just went to Ikea a few months ago to get 2 more bookcases to put my stuff in, and they are filled already.

I did score a reissue sixshot for $60 MISB at some mom and pop joint. They said it was tucked in the back for some time.
