Despite all the recreations he will still be a great childhood memory, and one that can be obtained by all.
No way! If you don't have childhood memories of Prime you can not obtain them... Only children can obtain childhood memories.

Who really cares except scalpers?
Hahaha, the dreaded enemy of collectors? Or maybe only collectors in well stocked areas... I'm sure most people here wouldn't hesitate to hand money to scalpers if it was the only way to get that ellusive toy.

Despite being quite gaudy and garish it's 'value' will probably go up due to it not being reissued or knocked off for aforementioned reasons.
What do 'gaudy' and 'garish' mean? Just sounds like irish names or something to me. Aren't g2 toys colourful and fresh??
