    I paid $145 for mine. That's waaaaaaay cheaper than getting original complete MISB metal G1 Predacons. I have no idea what the after-market prices are, but of course that's something beyond HasTak's control.

    Yeah, Predaking has been going up in price like $50 every year. I remember when it was $250, then $300 and now $350.

    it'll probably go up in price till its on par with G1 loose pieces. G1 boxed US/Jap predakings would probably still command a higher price than the reissue, but I suppose more people would rather buy a minty fresh metal bodied reissue rather than loose predacons in various conditions.

    All of the TFC ones for me. I already own all of those toys w/ the exception of Soundblaster and I still felt the need to go and get them all. They're refreshing and exactly how re-issues should be done: with a modern sensibility.

    Packaging aside I don't see how TFC reissues are much better or worse than most other Japanese reissues. And I personally prefer more G1-accurate packaging, but the TFC book-style packaging is undeniably sweet too - and the uniform size makes them oh-so easy for storage!!
