Price point revealed for Transformers Platinum Edition Dinobots and YOTM Optimus Primal

welcometothedarksyde wrote:Well that means the Air Attack Primal will probably be over $200 in Canada That'd definitely be a no.
Those Dinobots on the other hand look pretty good. I wouldn't have used the same color layouts, but something tells me these will be the only classics Dinobots we'll get for a long time
I also wonder how possible it is to switch AOE and This Swoop's torsos out. I prefer toon colors on Swoop

It's absolutely not worth that much. That toy originally came out in 2002 as a TRU exclusive and was a whopping $30.

In ape mode he goes up to mp prime chest, with electronics, and one disk fires from his chest, with light up features and voice clips from show if they did not take them out of this version.

Platinum Series "Year of the Monkey" Exclusive Air Attack Optimus Primal.
119.90$ Start Shipping on 1st October 2015.

Movie 4 Platinum Edition Generation Dinobot 5 Pack G1 Colour.
109.90$ Available on 1st October 2015

It should be kept in mind that Robot Kingdom's prices will be a close, but not necessarily a 100% accurate, portrayal of MSRP on those.

However, these prices tell us that the Dinobot 5 Pack will be the same price or less than the Platinum Autobot Unite 5 Pack or the Platinum Movie Dinobot 5 Pack of last year. We also know that Optimus Primal will be priced between the 2 Year of the Goat released as he is more expensive than G2 Prime but less than MP Soundwave.

We also now have new stock images of the Platinum (G1 deco) Dinobot 5 pack which have been mirrored below.

What reason would reissues of the AOE Dinobot molds have to combine?

Oh I'd bet money this version will be gutted of any and all electronics. It wouldn't shock me if the disc launcher is gutted too.

And though the set doesn't come with all the figures to do it you *kind of* can make a Dinobot combiner from the AoE Dinobots:

(Found this with a quick Google search of AoE Dinobot combiner)

That's pretty awesome! Too bad it requires so much external supporting.

Are there no Forbidden Planet, A1 Toys or TRU stores near you? Coz you may have found that there, instead of having to wait til it arrives through the post

No, but I have some american friends. If this goes 30% off, I would ask them to be a middleman and it would come out to about what it would cost me here with taxes.

That was released...ages ago. Before Thrilling 30 ages ago. Looks like the price on it is finally something reasonable at least.

Shockingly, G1 Sixshot didn't sell well for $200+

Ages ago, huh? Like during the age of the dinosaurs? Surprised I don't remember it.

2012. One year before the Platinum Edition line became a thing.

'cause the idjots at Hasbro miscalculated the nostalgia trumping over practicality. Despite Asia/China being gaga over G1, you can only push the price so much before you reach the "I no buy this"

Example, Platinum Laser Optimus Prime. Expensive sheeet! I'd buy it in an instant if he came in default colors. Black and gold? Wtfrack?!

Yup it was supposed to hit a month ago. There might be a problem with the shipment.

They are priced at 109 on Robot Kingdom, not bad for 2 voyagers and 3 deluxes: http://www.robotkingdom.com/a91850000g1.html. And with the SDCC vesions already being available, I dont see that much demand for these, so a slightly lower price will be inevitable.

Also, while I spy some small differences on Grimlock (besides the head of course), the deco on both slogs appear to be the same.

You didnt like him? I was close to buying that edition above for 100$ at comiccon this year but stopped when I realized he was selling for less on e-bay. I was still curious though, care to tell me (either here or in a pm), what you didnt like of sixshot?

Appart for G1 Galvatron (because I care too much for the character), I love my G1 toys to have realistic vehicle altmodes. Insecticons and dinobots excluded, of course. Sixshot is just... too many random things thrown together. It's a very solid toy and it's fun to fiddle with. I would highly recomend him. However, it didnt pleased me as much as I tought it would and I knew I would be able to easely sell him back. Also, there was some other TFs that need funding.

Will, if you don't care about yellowing or missing guns, you should buy 6shot. You'll have fun with it for sure.
