25th Anniversary Optimus Prime on Sale at Toys "R" Us

[Robimus]

I might take the plunge on him now. Just in time for payday!

$79.99 for the longest time there... Now that's better

"no rainchecks" LOL... Expecting them to fly off the shelf I guess

Whoa....... That was a close one. Went to Toys R" Us yesterday and saw this. Kinda interested yesterday, but not anymore. Yesterday was $49, today is $29. One day is a big difference.

I think they're clearing for toys later on, like ROTF Supreme Devy. Never saw him yet, but they are clearing it out alright.

I still won't pay $30 for a Pinky-Red Prime with Short Stacks.

Cheers!

To answer Jourdo's question from the defunct thread about how many G1 Primes one guy needs......

I don't have any, and never had one This would be a first G1'ish Prime for me.

And here I've only got:

2 Generation 1 Optimus Primes
1 Generation 2 Optimus Prime
1 Commemorative TRU Optimus Prime
1 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime (US Edition)

and I still want to eventually add the New Years Eve Optimus Prime, and JAFCON Optimus Prime to my collection at some point. If I hadn't sold it, I would also have the Botcon Pepsi Optimus Prime. Is it wrong that I'm now considering purchasing the 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime (CDN Edition)? lol

I got my New Years Prime years ago; I absolutely love it. A few years later I got a Takara reissue Prime for my sis for $60 (at a toy show) and she game me the axe. A year later I got another MISB New Years Prime at the same show for $80 (that's almost $100 less that what I paid for the 1st one)... I love toy shows.

I think a some people are already gonna go to TRU and get their 25th Primes before Friday's sale so they can just price adjust latter (just in case they'll be sold out by then). There's way too many stocked though and I'm still on the fence about this one (it's the crappiest G1 Prime redo in my mind).

Why can't there be a TRU up the street from me? Now I've got a find a ride into the city. Gah...
