ROTF Buster Prime & Jetfire pack in AUS

[Mr Ed]

When I saw it - it had Tomy Takara labelling on it.

Could these be Kmart direct importing?

I am waiting for Kmart 20% discount on TF.... $135 from $169

$149 is still too exp for me as I already have the std version.

Just grabbed the Prime from eBay... can't wait for it to arrive! I've been looking for a reasonably priced ROTF Prime and him (alone) was it!

I saw one of these packs at a Pawnbroker the other day. He had it for $400.00 MISB. At that price i don't think he is too much of a hurry to get rid of it.

I saw the 2-pk at Kmart for $80 but was too poor to afford it then

Looking on ebay, the ROTF 2-pack (red box version made in 2009 which we got here in 2010) looks to be harder to sell, as dealers are asking more than the DOTM (black box) re-release from 2011... which that one is selling for US$280-300.

The sole ROTF 2-pack that I could find that had sold, went for US$350... but since no others are selling at their higher BIN or minimum-bid amounts, it is hard to say what the current value is on the red box 2-pack. (because no one is lowering their price enough to find out how much people really are wanting to pay for it)

At the least, you'd probably get US$280 (the black box ebay price), so is a good profit margin on the $99 it was clearanced at here... but the value probably plateaued soon after the black box re-release came out (both were exclusive to Hasbro Asia, so have some completist value to western markets, but since they sent some of the red box to Australia, it is really just America and Europe that would pay that much now).

Yeah, I remember this set shelf warming here at Kmart too. Shelf warmed for a loooong time. As very nice as the changes are on Optimus Prime (not so much a fan of the redeco of Jetfire), I personally couldn't justify buying ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime and Jetfire again -- although I did get DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime (which is a further retool of Buster OP) when it was on sale at Big W. That's another big shelfwarmer too. Phwoar.
