In my last post for SEALED LASER PRIMES I neglected to include
the cost of insurance in the shipping costs. So to get a LASER OPTIMUS
PRIME delivered anywhere in the continental USA will cost $33.00 total.
Sorry for the inconvenience. As I stated I can get about 20 of these
MIB never opened. And no I do not work for KAYBEE TOYS.

Obviously. Why should anyone pay you double the Kay Bee price? In case
anyone wants to know, Kay Bee toys (a nation-wide chain) has lots of G2
stuff real cheap. LOP for $15 G2 Megs and Dreadwing for $10. I think
Cyberjets are 2 for $5 and Gobots 3 for $5.

Maybe because there are people who live 50 miles or more from the
nearest Kaybee?

-Drogn, who is one such, even
though his "local" (only 20 miles away) toy store has the same deal

Heh...he's *never* going to be worth $33? Then why was his original going
price something like $40?

In 5-10 years time, I'm sure it'll be worth $33.

I don't know, so many people bought him and just left him in the box. I
mean, the original Optimus was really cool, this thing is pretty lame in
comparison. But, hey, that's just my opinion.

True, there are always horders out there who are 'investing' in the
latest 'hot' item. It happens. I have a couple of Laser Oppys set aside
myself. Of course, at present I have no desire whatsoever to sell them off
to anyone. I feel (a little) sorry for the poor schmoes who bought 10 or
more of those Primes hoping to make a killing later on by selling em' off
for $30+ a pop. It may happen eventually, but not for a little bit, with
the exception of the 'reality challenged' money grubbers, but that's for
a rant all on its own.
And I like Laser Oppy better than the original version (which I FINALLY
got a good condition one a couple of weeks back.) LaserOp. is taking up
shelf space while original Op. is in a box with Ultra Magnus. I think that
says it all right there. :]

Hex.
