I saw that yesterday but everytime I post something like this ^ it has already been posted so I assumed someone had already posted it...

At $150, is anyone here actually planning to buy the insecticons?

[TAAUBlaster]

Not a chance. You can buy a vintage mint set for the same price (or less.) This is way overpriced.

Yeah maybe... on a TF sale...

The Insecticons seem to be the over-priced one of these reissue sets this year, as the others are a lot more sensibly priced.

[Megatran]

Worst still, there have been several re-releases of the Insecticons over the years. Not sure if there will be as much purchase intent with these guys compared to say the Coneheads reissue.

Thank goodness!

This doesn't bode well for the 2nd Year Decepticon jet reissues.

or the Dinobot reissues due later in the year.
I have never owned the original G1 insecticons, ever. I've seen plenty of them in bins at toy fairs. I think I'd be willing to pay about $60 for this set. they are small, simple, inarticulate, and apart from the big shiny box and energon cubes they aren't really anything special.

if the insecticons are priced at $150.... it makes me wonder how hard they'll try and stooge us for the coneheads?

of course they're aware they'll be in a lot more demand!
