Back in the day I went to all the major department stores and retailers to get my G1 Prime sadly they were sold out. I was lucky enough to acquire one directly from Hasbro through mail. I found out that it was possible to mail a Transformer cut out order form with a check. It took over 4-6 weeks but it came in the mail eventually. Good news is it cost about $24.99 but it cost more because of shipping and handling fees. The bad news is it didn't come with the original box and was just the cab, trailer, roller, missiles and the stickers. Still have it but it has seen better days. Missing the gun, one fists, the hose for the welding tool or was it a gas pump?? It would have been grand to have the trailer with Prime!
