Only thing that insulted me was the price. I'm glad he didn't come with a trailer, I've got enough of those in the closet to build a dog house!

Generation Two Optimus Prime was $29.99 retail in 1991.

FYI, that is $49.99 in today's dollars. So the price is the same, you are just getting less.

Its the same for Skywarp. I think both these choices are lame. I'd rather see a figure that we haven't already gotten reissued a dozen times before.
The last time Skywarp got a U.S. reissue was in 2003, sixteen years ago. Blaster's had two U.S. reissues since then, once in 2008 and again in 2015.Ironhidensh wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Skywarp all the way!

Skywarp reissues arent as recent though. But I agree, neither of these are great choices. but I think hasbro is banking on character popularity. really wish they could throw us another curve ball like with trypticon or even the coneheads (not saying I want these rereleased, I mean I want releases LIKE those).

It's not just that. It's the mold availability. Those Geewun are cheap to reissue because of that.
Still, I'd like Blaster. Simply because the latest (Platinum?) reissue was never found in my area.

We've gotten Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Blaster, Perceptor, and the Insecticons multiple times over the past 10-12 years, but nothing of the likes of Prowl, Jazz, or Sideswipe since the TRU reissues in the early 2000's.
