Not really.
TRU.ca is 109.99 $ cdn + tax = 126$ cdn
Chimunmung is:
54.90+25= 79.9 USD
79.9 USD = 99.88$ cdn
If ever customs gets you, it will be the added tax so about 115$ cdn. So its cheaper but not WAAAYYYY cheaper. You save anywhere between 10-25$. They still come out to 33$ each.

He meant pictures of the event. Its a lesser version of what Seibertron got at the NY Toy Show. It was quite a letdown after the post he wrote. You can view the pictures here. I would have included them here but sadly they are not related to the topic (AAARRGH!)
Oh Shajaki, I read a post on the very first page of this thread saying you were excisted for the insecticons since you dont have them yet. Still excited ?

Doesnt say. Sorry to be lowering your expectations (though I think thats a good thing we dont hype this up too much).

He was just reporting for Ozformers like how this site has representatives that report for us at other events.It Is Him wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Griffin's an Australian fan who was in attendance of the event, is all.william-james88 wrote:It Is Him wrote:

Hyping this would be fine if we knew if this guy was trustworthy. It doesn't sound like Hasbro to play their hand so early in the year, especially when they have nothing to show for some of these releases. But hey, I'm never, ever right on this stuff.

Yes, even at $200, that is a steal. I'd pay upwords of $300 for a minty new set of G1 Dinobots. Name somewhere else (besides KO's) where you can get G1 dino's for that kinda price.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Would still work out $40 a figure.

I still need a set of G1 Insecticons because I missed my previous chances. Trying to buy those previous versions now will set me back as much as this new one. So what's the difference?
It's collectible. It's limited. Our dollar is low. It is what it is folks. If it's too expensive for you to rationalize, then skip it. Also, Predaking might be an unfair comparison. I'll tell ya, his previous reissues weren't as cheap, so who knows what the story is behind that.
I guess Prime's worth more dead than alive.-Kanrabat- wrote:Still awaiting the reason why the hell does the G2 Platinum Optimus will go for 200$ While the Platinum MP-10 sold for 150$ at regular price.

I get your points. One thing I do want to stress is that secondary market prices should not influence the price of a rerelease. That ends up just being a losing game for consumers. Using your Insecticon argument, that would mean that the MP 10 rerelease we had last year (with the sigma key) would have been 400$ and we should have simply accepted it (same with charging 800$ for a Liokaiser rerelease to take your point to the extreme). Not saying thats wrong, but it definitely sucks and makes collecting transformers a rich man's game instead of reaching as many fans as possible.

Fairly certain no one is trying to make the argument that reissue pricing should be based upon secondary market pricing. Shajaki's just trying to explain his interest and using that as part of the justification, which makes sense in this context. Why not get the shiny news ones when the shiny old ones cost the same?

Platinum MP-Prime lost Roller and Spike, while Platinum G2 Prime is at least as complete as RiD Scourge? Only guess I got.

I'm not sure it went THAT far, but hey ain't no thangwilliam-james88 wrote:Shajaki, I would like to apologize for my comment. I was going back to this thread to add the pic below to have everything in the same G1 reissue thread but when I reread what I wrote I felt the need to apologize. I was so frustrated with the price hike from the previous reissues that I was seeing things that werent there. I totally misinterpreted what you wrote and put words in your mouth that you never said. You were just glad to have another chance to own these and chastising someone for finding happiness in this great hobby is wrong. So I am sorry.
