Best/best value G1 Optimus Prime reissue?

[millhouse]

Thanks for all the info!

There might be a better comparison site but tfu.info is alright.

Here is Pinkimus (25th Annversary version): http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/25t...timusprime.htm
This is why you should not get him: http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...ry/1598/1/169/

Here is New Year's Convoy: http://www.tfu.info/2002/Cybertron/N...y/nyconvoy.htm

Seibertron galleries also have a few if you weed out the G1 versions: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/index...&Submit=Search

For the price you would pay for a reissue have you considered getting an original?

Theres a Encore Prime just listed on Ebay in the last day, I wouldn't go for it. It looks nice and minty at first glance but he is asking way to much for it at $140 (opened) when this release is only worth ~$100 sealed (frequent reissues have dropped the price) and Roller is missing from the pictures.

I'm looking to get an Op myself and I have to say I'm attracted to the 2012 reissue. Honestly, by looking at the picture Gok has kindly provided, I don't see much difference. Close enough for me.

Any QC issues with any releases?

Apologies for the camera phone photos
Here are some comparison images of some other Primes, in addition to The Damned's . While not the best, you can get a rough idea of the colours used on Prime and his trailer

Hmm... I'm thinking Encore atm because of a) the lack of US safety measures, and b) tampos for the faction logos. They are tampos, correct?

Otherwise, I'm thinking of the 2012 version for pure price.

Didn't know about the 2012 reissue. How much was that?
