Same here. I wouldn't even consider buying this one at that price.

Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada

We can’t complain Hasbro only started getting greedy these last few years. They were greedy bastards way back in 1986 when they killed everyone, traumatized us for the rest of eternity just to sell everyone new toys. So they have been consistent in their greed for the past 30+ years since we were all introduced to Optimus Prime.

Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada

I really can’t get behind that price. It’s a complete ‘f-you’ to fans, and this coming from someone who is totally happy with his recent purchases of Siege Ultra Magnus and Studio Series Dropkick, even at the new price point and scale. I guess if you really neeeeeeeeed a unique bit of nostalgia this is your ticket, but personally I’m good with the reissue from a few years back that came with a trailer for less than this.

It could be worse. It could be a $600 Optimus Prime.

I hope no one in Canada is stupid enough pay that ridiculous Canadian $599 price (almost $700 with taxes) for that prime.

Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada

All my purchases since 2016 have been 3P and KO MP scale. I sure like a lot of the offerings HasTak makes. Kudos to the design guys. But the greed is what goes against my sensibility. I can't bring myself to support it. I truly believe in voting with your wallet. That's capatilism democracy

Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada

Well, if Prime is 70 bucks, guaranteed Soundwave will be the same price point or more... as well as Astrotrain...
Hopefully they sit on the shelf and there's a market correction... just like Hot Rod (snagged him for 20$)
And as others have said I'm glad I acquired the 25th anniversary edition of Prime for a steal (25$).
You can also get a knock off Prime pretty easy for 50 bucks...

Way to support the hobby Hasbro!
