yup, hasbro could repaint a turd to look like optimus and slap an 50$ price tag on it and someone will buy it and say it was a good deal.
Also how many times can you possible reissue prime??? I mean come on already there are soo many more figures that would be better , like THE DINOBOTS!!.. They say they will be releasing more G1s for the 25th Ann.. i bet you they will be the same figures they did for the reissues in the past.. Then again it scares me to think what they would charge for the dinobots if they reissued them, probably 40$ or more each. Hasbro could care less about the fans , no matter what garbage they tell us in there interviews.

Repro of G1 Optimus Prime
Reprint of the 1st (3?) issue(s) of the G1 Comic
DVD of the 1st 3 pilot episodes of the G1 Cartoon
Electronic belt buckle
The Commemorative Series reissue of Prime ran about $25 or so, if I recall correctly, and the value of a G1 Prime (in the mind of Hasbro execs at least) has increased due to added time AND increased popularity of the Optimus Prime character brought by the new movie.
Figure that, and the fact that you're gettin' about $18-25 worth of other stuff with him, and the price seem a bit more reasonable (or at least, less UNreasonable)

I am at the point these days where I will only wear electronic belt buckles. The regular ones are so last century. If this one has Prime saying "Don't mess with Texas!", I'll buy several.

"two firing missiles on robot mode"
How far do the missiles actually fire?
