G1 Prime Trailer

[5FDP]

I've seen a lot of G1 Primes on eBay lately with broken trailers. I still have mine from when I was a child and it's literally in perfect condition. I believe the reason for this is that I hardly ever played with Primes trailer except when I used it on the odd occasion as the Autobot base - but even then you could only fit a few minibots in it.

Is there anyone else out there like me that never played with the trailer and still has it in perfect condition?

yeah i was pretty much the same, as a kid it was hardley played with, with my original prime the trailer is the best condition compared to alot of my other early tfs.. the actual prime is displaying loads of battle damage,

even though with all the primes we have gotten recently i still miss the trailer.

it really doesnt feel like a prime without it

My original Primes trailer would probably still be in mint except that my little sister, at the time a baby still in nappies, thought it looked like a comfy seat... the only thing that broke was one of the clips that the back door hinges on but gaaaah!!

I'm not bitter or anything.

Yeah I have a few actually. Never really played with them as a kid. Only Prime

I've noticed most of the ebay trailers have the back door broken off.

None of my G1 trailers have a broken door, but with at least two the repair robot won't stay up anymore.

Roller's launcher is also really poor on all of them, but that was probably the case from new anyway due to toy safety concerns at the time.

I have two G1 trailers in good condition and a 3rd KO but it's busted.

My childhood trailer is a mess. No door hinges, yellowed, broken tabs, missing roller etc. Interestingly I allowed my 5 year old nephew to play (supervised) with encore prime and the trailer door was pulled off around half a dozen times. No breakages but I eventually just swapped in the vintage one instead.

I loved playing with my G1 Prime's trailer!! It was the default Autobot base for ages until I got the S.T.A.R.S. base! But I've always been one to try to take good care of my toys... only one of the door hinges broke, but a piece of blu-tack kept that in place. It just meant that I had to be careful when opening and closing the door, but once it was fully opened or closed it stayed in place.

Of course, my original childhood 1984 Optimus Prime was stolen. *sigh*

Ahhh... blu-tack; is there nothing it can't fix

I didnt have Prime when I was a kid, I only got mine second hand - one is broken (the back dooe hinge is broken) and one is well and intact... but yeah the trailer seldom gets played with.
