Curious if anyone has seen one of these?? I have NEVER seen one on Ebay or anywhere else until someone gave this one to me. Just an AM radio but wearable. Hmmm...do you think I've got something unique here?

I wouldn't say "unique" exactly. It's definitely a bit harder to come by than some of the other Nasta TF products like the radio with headphones and electric toothbrushes. I'd guestimate its value somewhere around $20-$40.

Here's what it looked like in package (I don't have one, I just found the picture):

Westland and Livonia TRUs have the tags up for MP Thundercracker, which is exciting. Still no Kreons for me, which is less so.

I don't think I care about TC....maybe when I see him...but I already own the oversees/previous version and everything I've heard (no alt head, midsection/shoulders don't lock and move up and down when you move his arms) make me less and less interested. If I thought TRU would eventually discount or clearance him it would make waiting easier...but TRU is still sitting on stuff from 5 years ago.

Don't get me started on TRU exclusives never going on clearance. I'm still pissed they just pulled the 10th anniversary Beast Wars Megatrom/Primal 2-packs rather than even bother trying to clearance them.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I picked up the hands down worst Prime figure made, Airachnid. Picked it up at the Flint Center Rd. Walmart today. It was the only one they had. I only picked it up since my OCD makes me get one of every mold. It's not as bad as all the reviews made her out to be, but is still nowhere near a good figure.. I should have just grabbed a Deadend instead. They had about 4 of them left.

Yeah, I'm just about done with the Prime line. It's way too hit-and-miss for my tastes. You just never know if you're going to get the good of a Wheeljack or the pure crap of an Airachnid. Between the rise in prices ($15.47, Walmart? Really?) and the giant crash in quality, I just can't get excited about these anymore.

I think I've already said it, but by far one of the worst t'formers I have ever bought. And the biggest shame is that she was one of my biggest wants for a great fig.

But I have to disagree with GM...she is the only figure I have been disappointed with. I love love love all the rest....in different degree's of course! ;) Good luck out there guys...

Well, PRID Bumblebee and PRID KNockout were both a bit bad as well.

I think you all should be buying Arms Micron. They are really fun!

I'm kinda getting down about the lines quality as well, but not enough to quit it. Really the only other lackluster figure for me was Bumblebee, but after I figured out how to lower his head assembly down where it suposed to be, I started liking him much better.
But yesterday I pulled out my Animated figures and it was like night and day! Animated pigures feel much more sturdy and it seems like so much more enginering was put into them. Plus they were about $5 less! *sigh*
