Opinion needed: MP-04 for $275 good deal or not?

I am offered a MISB MP-04 Optimus Prime with trailer for $275. I have two questions:

1. Is this a fair price?

2. Is MP-04 worth that price? Considering I already have a couple of MP-ish Primes: Hasbro and Hasbro DVD.

is that US price or Canadian price? I got my MP 04 for around that price in Canadian dollars shipped. which I think is worth it.

Re: Opinion needed: MP-04 for $275 good deal or not?

Most places sold him for $249.99 so I would say that is a pretty fair price. It is up to you if you think it is worth it. I got my original MP-01 for $119 when he first came out and 20th Anniversary Prime on clearance for $49.99 at TRU a few years back. I never picked up MP-04 because I did not need another MP Prime and I could not justify paying $120 extra for a trailer.

You can get MP-04 from kooltoyz.ca for $249.99

Depends if he charges tax or not...$25 bucks saved, is well $25 bucks

Does that price include shipping though? $249.99 + $40 shipping is more expensive than $275 straight up.

That's $275 all included. But actually, you're right. I tried kooltoyz but somehow failed to see it. Especially with their S&H at $8.99, it's a much better price, even with GST.

thats a fair price.
a very fair price.
but seeing as you have the other masterpieces,
unless you are looking to collect them all,
i would pass.
your 275 can be spent buying an entire line of toys,
rather than adding a trailer and
upgrading a toy you currently have.
considering there are other trailer options.

still it is a fabulous toy,
and if you went for it there is
no reason to regret the purchase.
