Same here. Though I can't say I'm surprised. The insecticons are 100$ so we all assumed something like Trypticon couldn't be less than 200$ and we were all proven right. But you never know. I was able to find the insecticons for 50$ (canadian, so 40$ US) total, the conehead seekers are available at Walmart.ca for pretty cheap and will undoubtedly be even cheaper in an eventual sale. Even fortmax is super reduced now, all considering, and he is an encore figure that didnt get as wide a distribution as this guy will get. So while I am not in a rush to get Trypitcon (I already own a very naked version of the G1 toy), I am not giving up on him entirely.
Looking much more forward to the Blaster and Perceptor set, I hope it gets to walmart
Oh and for anyone keeping tabs, this Trypticon release marks the end of the initial G1 releases of this year:
He goes on to mention some G1 Reissue news with the following names listed:
- Blaster
- Perceptor
- Insecticon
- Trypticon
- G1 cone head set
The only rumour left would be the rumour of G1 dinobots being rereleased as a platinum set but that one came later and may be referring to Hasbro rereleasing the SDCC dinobot set which featured the G1 colours on updated AOE molds.
