Title: 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Optimus in Canada
Post by: Pete The Greek on February 10, 2004, 05:47:44 PM
Well, I saw it at my local TRU for 99.99 CAN.  I passed on it as that too much for a Transformer.

Toys are for kids eh?  Please, don't give me that crap Hasbro.  No kid will have 100 bucks in their piggy banks.

Ok....... I'll carry it then.
I 'should' be able to carry it for about $80-$85.00....
Anyone interested?

Still undecided whether I want it or not.  Depending on how the Joe budget holds up.

I'd love to have one, but yeah 100+ is kinda steep for a toy.  Heck, I think 85 is even steep for a new toy.  But I'm a sucker for some cool TF stuff so I'd probably buy one off you Mike if you had them in.


This though, isn't a toy for kids....but why not give kids these toys?  Don't charge no stupid 50, 80, 100 bones, make it real cheaply.  Make the metal parts plastic and such.  But use the same molds and stuff. I bet kids would love this, the stuff today is just...I don't know, dumb.  But that could just be because I'm bias towards the older stuff, "our" stuff.

$80.00 hmm....

Mike, if you get them in for $80 or $85 I'm in for one.

Otherwise I guess Walmart gets my money. I frigging hate that place.
