Transformers Movie Optimus Blaster Released at Retail!
by GetterDragun » Sun Apr 29, 2007 1:43 pm
Today at a local toy store I found the Transformers Movie Optimus Prime Big Rig Arm Blaster! The store had it marked at $49.99 and there were two left on the shelf. I took some photos for you all to see, so be on the look out!

Ouch... a bit pricey. Bit of a shame too, seeing as it does look kinda neat.

50 for a dart gun, albeit a transforming one, is too much. I'll stick to my Nerf Maverick.

Looks like AAFES BX set up to me o.0
Even still, I wonder if the pricing was wrong, I really can't see it being $50, even if it does transform.

That price has to be an error...I seem to remember Hasbro putting the price point for this at 19.99 or thereabouts...
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

$40 even seems too much. Are we talking US currency here?

No, the price is just the store. They sell everything at twice the price...which is why I didn't buy it. Put it this way, Cybertron giant Starscream was $89.99 there. It's just a local toy store here in NY, not a chain.

Read up a few posts, dude- RRP is $29.99.
Or £29.99 ($60) in the UK. Grr.

I was going to say...$50 for THAT? Yeesh. Even actual MSRP is too high.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

We got a place just like that here in Madison that was charging about $80.00 for Primus Figures.
Some unknowing parents must have bought them, because they are gone now, but they should have gone to the local Toys R Us as they have about 20 of them, for only $50.
I still feel the local place (happens to be in the mall) will be closing soon as their selection sucks, and so do their prices.

I like how everyone fails to read that this was at small toy shop that charges way over MSRP.

now I prefer to only get transformers off hasbro or if I have no choice, toywiz.com, they really over price, cybertron leader prime is or was (if sold out) $100.00, they just make up a price that seems fair by how cool and fun the toy is, and don't get me started on the ridiculous card game, you gay ho, wait it yu-gi-oh!,you gay ho sound alot better though

I'd guess either K-Mart or KB Toys, because both are known to over price their toys.
My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Yeah, that is alot of money, but still, that thing is cool!
Still, I wonder how much Target or TRU will sell it for?
