$30 is insane. Assuming the other two are the same price it would be cheaper to pay aftermarket prices for a previous reissue set.
And that's another reason I can't see this reissue selling well.
Sometimes "Just get one on eBay" isn't a great solution. Time flies. These things do get scarce. But the Insecticons are still very available. This is like trying to charge a premium price for a new Blaster or Perceptor. Get real.
I don't even know what sane is anymore.
Could it be any more obvious?
I see bombshell, thrust , dirge ,ramjet , astrotrain as strong future possibilities but what of the autobots ? If they do Optimus will it only be the cab . Kup or rodimus prime perhaps
You know, I can't remember a time when the G1 reissue prices were reasonable.
When they came out in the early 2000s at Toys R Us, the First wave was pricey at the time. Then they kept getting more and more expensive for more obscure G1 characters.
Once Walmart starting their Reissue line, it just got way out of hand.

To be a little fair, two-thirds of that first wave consisted of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, two big items whose full contents were about the same as the Super Class toys of the time.
The TRU prices weren't that bad. Just because these toys don't have much articulation doesn't mean the construction isn't intricate.
yeah, it was like $50 for Optimus and Ultra Magnus? I think Hotrod was cheaper though. What was it $17 or $25? I only saw Optimus Once when I was on vacation and didn't get him, and I still kick myself about that. I did get the other two though.
And then they never reissued Ultra Magnus again.
We didn't know how good we had it with the TRU reissues.

Well, I remember them being pretty pricey. I picked up the later waves when they got clearanced to around $18 for a deluxe figure from $35. And that was back in 2006-7?
I wonder if they will finally break that with these TFTM G1 Reissues? It would be the perfect opportunity, but they would probably price it at $89.99 knowing Walmart.
I think Rodimus Major was 19.99 at TRU when it came out.
I can't complain too much about the Walmart reissues. I got Blaster for like $3 on clearance, and Soundwave and the Cassettes for around $20 total. At full price, though, yeah, they're kind of pricey.

Checking Nevermore's old checklist on TFArchive, Optimus and Magnus were each $39.99 USD, while Rodimus Major was $17.99 USD.
