Without question it is Ebay.

But I wouldn't suggest getting any right now. The majority of them have been going for way over book price over the last few weeks (probably because of hype from the movie).

You probably should wait until the fall when the hype dies down before trying to acquire G1 figures online.

Toys R Us have a few reissues at the moment. You should find Inferno, Prowl and Skywarp. Other than that there is always Ebay.

You could also try BigBadtoystore.com. They're very reliable, but can be a little high on prices.

Not to be a broken record, but ebay is the way to go, online wise. Use sites like http://tfu.info/index.htm or the seibertron's galleries to assist you in insuring when somebodies says the toy is 'complete' that it actually is.

THIS COULD.. be a long wait because of sequels, etc. Demand may actually increase when the movie makes kids of us all again, and thus, prices may yet go even higher for years on vintage.

I suggest buying re-issues of anything that you really want right now. The Encore series from Takara will be a good option this fall...
