    Question: since FE Prime is sitting around the $70 - $80 mark on the secondary market, does paying $40 - $50 for a PRiDE Voyager Prime make it then better or equivalent value for money. or still worse value for money if you're looking for a big Prime to lead your Autobots.

    Pay the extra $18. You won't regret it.

    This toy was only released about 3-4 months ago... surely not so long ago that I would consider it to be "aftermarket" and accept inflated prices.

    I recommend:
    1/ Wait until you find a FE Voy OP at RRP
    2/ Bite the bullet and pay the extra $18

    Found a cheaper FE Prime at $63 so only $13 more than the RiD release.

    Unfortunately the cheapest Takara FE Prime at the moment is $141.

    This one is AU$53. All online non-eBay sources I've checked out either don't stock TFP FE or are out of stock of FE Voyager OP.

    The item is $53 but you haven't factored in the shipping cost amigo.

    I got Megs & OP for $42 I think + shipping. For that money they are not bad value but I would not pay $50 for one even with a shotgun at my head.

    I only kept Primes craphouse "gun" incase I decide to sell him but I may break it on principal. Not a fan of the clear plastic but I did find the Prime transformation "fun" & since transforming them is the only "play" I do with them it is a quite enjoyable toy. Just not RRP enjoyable.

    I've heard quite a few people mention how fun RiD Prime's transformation is now. He also doesn't sport the fake chest like the FE, which is a big plus for some people. There's always the Takara RiD release to consider too, it has arguably nicer colours and comes with a Shockwave Targetmaster. I hope we're not making the decision harder for you UltraMarginal.
