    I spotted at least 5 Primes at the City Target today.

    There was a MP Megatron at Comics 'R' Us up the street. They were asking $250 for it

    Finally further up, down at Hobby Japan they had an Ultra Magnus, but don't bother, they were asking for $550.
    When the dude said that I laughed and pointed out how much Prime is going for at Target. Doesn't suprise me though. There wanted $600 for the same Prime about a month ago.

    Dude... you shouldn't have mentioned the MP4s at Target to HJ they will probably have already been down there to buy a few more to shaft off at 200% profit!

    Still, $600 for a Masterpiece Optimus How can these guys manage to even sell them?

    The box was in pretty good condition too - would have been A1 but had a couple of minor impressions on the back side edges.

    PS don't bother looking there for the Prime blaster rig that went on sale today - they were already out by this arvo
    Hmmmm i really want just the trailer, is it worth having 3 of the Primes.....

    I don't know, but it has been sold. Poor sap that bought it though.
    or maybe they thought I was an idiot and tried to rip me off.
    I remember when they had Masterpiece Megatron like 6 months ago or something. They were asking for $300-400.
    I don't know how they stay open...their Box Hill store has closed down or moved though

    Haha i went in there the other day and asked too, $550!

    HJ use to be in Glenferrie too, that didn't last long. The one in the city had a 50% off sale but i didn't notice anything good

    Poor sap indeed

    $300 is steep but not insultingly expensive if the guy who bought Prime got him at the 50% off sale. Still, he would have had a nasty surprise if he looked through Target's toy section recently...

    He should have consulted Ozformers first

    The 50% off only applies to certain items. Usually little things like anime DVDs, plushies and other figures. Big ticket items like the Transformers they have or the statues ain't in it. And the sale wasn't on when they had Prime, that only started in the last week or so.
