The 1-Meter Optimus Speaker Tower - questions

[DarkHyren]

Did anyone ever see that huge Optimus Prime statue you could buy a few years ago for like $6000?

I believe he's on ebay now - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270350266723
I would so get him. If I had the money. And the means to get him here. And the space to put him.

Toorak! What shop was that?

Gardenvale Collectables. I see they've dropped the price by $500 - unsurprising considering they've had him in the window 6 years now. I remember feeling like a super-smart smug sod as I had seen him on the internet before on an American site and it was $1500 to ship to Australia. So when asking the shop owner about it I was able to quote the international shipping costs of the thing It's not a bad shop for rare TF stuff, though like Minotaur you can usually find the stuff they stock cheaper online. Well worth a browse if you live in Melbourne though

Hmm that maybe the shop whose owner I got in a big arguement with at a Malvern fair in front of plenty of people.

I ask them what a Bomannder was and the lady just said box error and it was an original G1 Grimlock but I knew better.

I'd call it a collectable, statue with articulation and electronic features.

I wanted to do that to the people selling KOs at Armageddon.
Wish I had.

Very nice collectible, if the money's burning a hole in your pocket. Shame it doesnt come with a drinks tray

Glad I never bought anything from there then. Bad enough with it being overpriced without it being fake
