I counted 19 in gallery, is that all there is in that series?? i know they can get pricey, whats the rarest?? thanks!

Swerve is the rarest....

Posted: **Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:36 pm**

I believe there is 26? not sure though

Posted: **Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:41 pm**

thanks!! 26 is do-able!!

There are actually 27 Alts (Rodimus is number 27). If you count the BT's it probably adds up to over 65 when you count the BTA's and the different versions (2 different Tracks, 4 different Smokescreens, two Prowls, 2 Meisters etc.).

Depends if you want to count the exclusives.

If you are only after 1 of each mold, it severely cuts down the number of figures.

And any of them are gonna be costly to acquire this late in the game.

agreed, prepare to ebay $60 for a nemesis prime for instance

Glad I picked up Swerve when I did in retail. Prices are crazy on a few of them.

Make you all sick to know I picked one up after watching it sit at TRU for two months, won't it? The only reason I picked it up was because I didn't want the Botcon Locusts to snag it and scalp it when they hit Lexington.

I'll trade ya for two tracks!

Posted: **Wed Aug 22, 2007 8:07 pm**

Tempting, but I already have my share of Tracks[esessseseseseesessses] or Tracksi.

Alternators Swerve, putting my future children through College... or at least buying them a [used] textbook.

thanks everyone!! and i saw the Nemisis Prime on the bay, pricey but worth it!! its pretty badass!! and i'm just thinking of going with the straight Alternator line, not the BT's. so i might have a chance! :grin:

Are the Mustangs (Grimlock, Mirage, and Wheeljack) going for big buck because they are rare or because everyone wants a mustang?

Posted: **Fri Aug 24, 2007 12:46 am**

Mirage isn't a Mustang, he's a Ford GT40. Grimlock and Wheeljack are Mustang GTs so I can see where you're getting confused.

Posted: **Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:38 am**

Mirage is a GT, not a mustang..

but yes, they are rare.. that has a big influence

Posted: **Fri Aug 24, 2007 7:17 am**

It's at times like this that I wish I were a car guy. And Mirage just moved up in my wants by means of uniqueness.

take up Rodimus for that matter..

btw, Wheeljack looks f'ing awesome..

Posted: **Fri Aug 24, 2007 8:04 am**

Well, fortunately/unfortunately I don't really want Rodimus. I already fell into the get a character because of another character you want trap when I just dropped some money on Sideswipe, even though the one I really wanted was Sunstreaker (but you can't have him without getting his brother too :grin:

). Though it may turn out that eventually I will end up wanting Rodimus and then he'll be even more expensive. But for now I'd rather focus on the ones I definitely want (which all happen to be the dang expensive Mustangs and GT [Grimlock, Wheeljack, Mirage]).

Oh and Sunstreaker too, but I hear he's been making appearances in stores so I'm not ready to eBay him up yet.

yeah, sunstreaker is part of the warehouse clearance, so expect a lot of him in your local stores.. or ask a clerk, they should still be able to order him.

FYI I just dropped 21,5 GB pounds on Wheeljack.

Rodimus arrived this morning and is superb! May have to grab Nemesis Prime next!

just pm me if you're interested, I know where you can get some...

I just picked up Nemesis Prime for $20 Australian, it was a clearance item in a shopping centre. I didn't have any alternators and had previously knocked back a op for $30. To be honest it doesn't really impress me that much...

Are you just taking a dump on our collective admiration of rare alternators, if you still have some, PM me.
