Unlikely, demand for old sets to upgrade outdated figures isn't very high.

Oof, I really, REALLY want PC-16 (the transforming cab prime) and to a somewhat lesser extent PC-15 (powermaster Ginrai). I love Powermaster Primes and these sets take the meh HasTak one to greatness. But both of them shipped from Mandy here comes out to near Fans Hobby Powerbaser money.

I'm thinking of putting out feelers to trade my MISB Earthrise Coneheads (all 3) and maybe some other high demand figs (like MISB ER Runabout, MISB TR Twintwist & Topspin...) to try to get at least PC-16...

I will say, I finally finished my LG-EX GodGinrai last year (all 3 PE kits, LG Goshooter to go with the kids)

Those legs are still a bit of a nightmare regardless, but he's a f*ckin beaut display piece imo
Pic below isn't mine (dude here has the Shockwave Lab articulated hands as well), but looks so great

Save your money (or your toys), it's not even that great of a standalone figure. Feels light and very... plastic-y? Borderline brittle.

15 & 16 are sold out this morning, only 18 is left

say what you want about the aftermarket (we've all been there), but they go fast when they surface
which is the only reason I mention em

hope somebody benefited from this

I appreciate the heads up even though I didn't end up biting this time, so thanks.

Given what these sets go for when they do pop up second hand, I don't get why PE wouldn't go for a reissue. Leaving $$$ on the table IMHO.

Wow, I had no idea they're going for this much. I knew the cab was on sale on BBTS for quite some time. The Prime cab I have had a exhaust snap off (I did ham handed it because it felt sturdy enough), easily fixed with some epoxy and overall great sets. I do wish they made a fix for that heel piece like Takara implemented with the 3rd release.
