I was never a huge fan of the G1 that had no articulations, so I prefer the later versions of the Generations line, even though I will say that I would prefer more metal and less emptiness syndrome.
I have a G1 OP (missing all parts such as hands and trailer, etc.) but I can use with the G1 Ultra Magnus "armour" (also missing lots of parts) and when I place it next to any of my other "modern" OP, the G1 feels like a brick that doesn't look even right anymore, not when you have a cartoon accurate, fully poseable version, The rig "alt" mode is it's saving grace as it does look the best.
So, will it sell, I believe so as there's a few members that already stated to want him, or already did get him...
When it comes to price, it's been a funny trip down the road in here lately where many have stated how these prices are crazy, but how the desire to get the figures wins out, *sadly, I'm one of them for the Siege line, but it's also a case that it's probably the last line I get and only might get a few random ones afterwards), and then there's the ones that support and enjoy the prices increases.

Alas and alack G1 Prime will sell, at least initially. There are scalpers, those who have to have the latest when they see it on the shelf, and as you said those collectors who have stated they want one despite the price. So early on this won't be too hard to sell, I believe, but I hope it ends up like Hot Rod and restocks sit on the shelves.
As for Siege, I am pretty much out except for a reasonable price. I picked up OP & Meg during the BOGO. So they were basically the original $30 each price. Same with a couple of the legends and weaponizers. They at least we're a bit less than regular retail.
Outside of Refracktor and the fembots, the deluxes don't move me to pay anything above old retail ($19.99). Leaders are a wait and see. Magnus doesn't really do it for me. Shockwave and Prime are probably going to be bought when I can, but I will hold my nose while buying!!! ��
