Somebody said that somebody said that single cassettes are coming, maybe that's why we've only seen Warpath and Gears so far. If we only got two then who would people pick? I'm thinking Ravage and Laserbeak since I wouldn't want them to split up Frenzy and Rumble and can't see them releasing both if we only got two slots.
As far as the mini-vehicles go, the only two I really "need" are Warpath, Powerglide, and Pipes to complete my childhood collection, but of course I want all of them.

Wouldn't that be three you need then?

Same here. Ratbat is one of the cassettes I'm missing, and I don't want to pay the prices I've seen for an authentic one. Still hope to get a G1 Soundwave, but just have to see what the reissue looks like in person and what the price is at the time.

So the trailer and Roller would cost another $35, even though they make up 2/3 of the whole thing? Prime by himself should be $35, and the $50 difference should come with the trailer and Roller.william-james88 wrote:The 25th Anniversary was $69.99, 10 years ago. That's $85 USD today.

The trailer is a hollow plastic box. Optimus alone is a more-complex metal Rubik's Cube on rubber-tired wheels. The parts count and material quality on Optimus alone is significantly higher.Rodimus Prime wrote:So the trailer and Roller would cost another $35, even though they make up 2/3 of the whole thing?

The 25th Anniversary was $69.99, 10 years ago. That's $85 USD today. Would people preffer paying that if they included the trailer?

Okay, take it easy. I wasn't disagreeing. I know about materials and parts count. But you also have to consider the size of the trailer and how much shelf space it would take up. Retailers take that into consideration.william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:So the trailer and Roller would cost another $35, even though they make up 2/3 of the whole thing?

Why are you ignoring the material used or density?
The trailer is a big empty box made of plastic, that being $50 would be the bigger outrage, no?
Probably. I don't know if I would want to pay that much. Devastator was just released and he cost $75. The box was bigger than Prime with a trailer would be, and he had more parts.But thats not the point, the idea is that people are expecting to pay $50 for a complete Prime when that wasnt even the case in the previous reissue. I think people would bitch and moan about a complete prime being $85 just as much as they are right now, based on what I am seeing online.

Accidentally.

Doesnt that mean that this is priced at the right market value?

To some, the vintage matters too, like a fine wine. Therefore, younger vintage should be priced lower, like this reissue right here.
We so need a monocle emote on the boards.

But the vintage is not mint while this new one is. Does that not cancel out the vintage aspect? I totally get the added value on it being original for a complete toy, but incomplete used G1 toys that have reissues are not that high in demand. And we have numbers backing that up. All loose G1 toy prices dropped heavily once reissues were available (best example being Fort Max).
