I know, certainly a deterrent. Maybe they'll go on clearance or the Price will come down by the time they're available

Those are pretty sweet, better articulated than the old-skool ones, and I want one, but that's way too expensive. I hope they're metal at least, for that price.

$280 and it looks like poo. The Movie real gear were way better than this waste of space.
I mean... think what else you could buy with that amount of money...

I wonder why the ass-high price for these? They're freaken transforming watches, unless it was made by Seiko or Rolex these are way expensive for some watches.

I used to have a few of these when i was a kid and would love to get another but for that price i think not. For that price id rather get a nice citizen or Tag Huer.

price is a little steep, well i guess if you account for inflation
but still i thought the ones from the 80's were pretty cheap,
capitalism at it worst!

I have an original, minus the wristband.
So no need to waste enough money to buy a new, well, new lots of stuff, on a plastic watch.

I wonder why they cost so much. I have the G2 Scorpion watch and it's way nicer than a simple robot.

I would upload a pic, but something won't let me. I don't kow if it is the site or the computer I am using.
Basically it is gold electroplated, says Transformers G2 and is stamped Takara, Ltd 1993. I started a thread asking some questions about it but really got no replies. The recent board wipe knocked out all the pics I had of it.
