Wow, talk about old times.
Bradlees, damn that was a long time ago. my brother used to work at Jamesway.
And with the pic of Skywarp at Target, I didn't realize they had been around that long. The first time I ever heard of Target was in college, late 1990s.

Funny how this is no longer the case now that there is a reissue.

Take that, thread from seven years ago that clearly should have known about the Fort Max reissue!

I am not talking directly to Optimist_Prime, just making a fun remark at how times change. Plus to add to this thread, G1 Shockwve was 24$ back in the 80s and The seekers were 13.99$

Transformers G1 1985 Ramjet Gallery
That last part is very interesting because with inflation that means the coneheads would be 30$ today. And a pack of the 3 coneheads costs 74.99 at target (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... get/33203/) meaning that they are selling for less now than back in 1986.

My, how times have changed!
No unless you got them on sale Prime/Megs was 24.99-29.99 Cars were 4.99-8.99 Jets 15.00ish Soundwave was 19.99
That's where my allowance went back in '84- mid '86 lol
