I was surprised that they're only going for ~$30 on eBay.

How much did it cost at SDCC?

I believe you can still get it on HasbroToyShop.com for $20.

The Deluxe class TF: Prime Optimus just isn't a very impressive figure; especially now that we've seen pictures of the forthcoming Voyager class toy. About the only thing this exclusive has going for it is the novelty of its packaging. Apparently that's not very compelling for a lot of collectors.

I disagree. He may not be 100% show accurate (or maybe he is, I haven't paid much attention to the show) but he is an impressive figure. Nice design, enjoyable transform, and a fantastic and full alt mode from a slim, fairly kibble free bot. I had little intention on collecting this line, but if most the figures are as cool as deluxe Prime, I'm going to have to reconsider...and I don't even care much for the aesthetics of the series, but it's that fun of a figure.

That's the main reason why I got the figure was it's unique packaging, it was a must have for me personally.
