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? a definate shelf warmer

What store was this found in?

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...

dude, sue that store, they over priced you, hasbro says it is 40.00 not 50.00

As much as I love optimus but I think I won't get it, to old for nerf gun, i still love my maverick though

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

not to mention that then film deluxes were supose to be 9.99 but will be (I hope not) 12.99

$29.99 is the MSRP

woops, my bad

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.

too much for what id pay for it... too bad, i kinda wanted that one too.

peace of ****.

Read up a few posts, dude- RRP is $29.99.

Or £29.99 ($60) in the UK. Grr.

Be on the lookout? Ha! Yeah right! As if!

I was going to say...$50 for THAT? Yeesh. Even actual MSRP is too high.

Yes, "Be on the Look Out", that's what he said. He's posting the sighting of a new TF toy on a TF fan site, where a lot of collectors of all things TF hang out.

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.

maybe it is a family owned, like johnson toy shop or something

Yeah, that is alot of money, but still, that thing is cool!

Still, I wonder how much Target or TRU will sell it for?
