Well, i crumbled!!!

Hey guys, i recently bought an Encore Optimus Prime. I really didnt want to as i am completely Optimused out. What i mean by that is i love the guy but he just gets reissued so many times that im beginning to hate the sight of him. Anyway it was for that reason that i didnt, until my recent purchase, have one of him in my collection. I crumbled and bought him as i got a good deal on one and for some weird reason no matter how many times he gets reissued his value just continues to climb every year. Anyway i wanted you all to know that i am weak.
Tis all.

you can never have too many G1 mould optimus prime toys

at least you can re sell optimus prime making more of a profit im sure then most other toys

the very utter of his name at Hasbro has people going Ka-ching!!!

Dude... having just 1 G1 (1984) Optimus Prime is not weakness. If anything you've now acquired what many fans consider a "must-have" toy for every G1 collection.

I have too many Optimus Primes (and there are lots of people with more than me!) - you don't have a problem w h a t s o e v e r .

Well, he arrived and i must say that while hes a nice figure i think i got duped. This is the auction i won.

Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the optimus shown and the actual Encore?
Im still happy i have him though and i really dig the Encore boxes. Very G1.
By the way, please be VERY wary of this seller. He charged me $20 postage and the postage only came to $7.70 and in a very terrible box which had holes in it and looked like it came from the back of a supermarket. Betty Crocker is written all over it! I complained and he sent me an email basically saying 'Get F##ked', so i threatened to send his email to ebay and Paypal and the next day i had a refund in my Paypal account.
Yay for me!!

So was the toy not really factory sealed as it says in the description? As I've said before, the seller is a bit of a twat, he always overcharges on shipping and can't package a toy for $#!*.

No, he was MISB but Encore prime doesnt have blue eyes or blue windows. He used New Years prime pictures.
