Voyager price, which is probably where he should have landed in the first place [you can pick up a great boxed KO w trailer for the same price].

I mean, it's certainly better than the original $50 asking price. But, like you said, at that point just get the knockoff with the trailer.

Something tells me we might get a retro version of G1 Optimus Prime in cartoon colors at some point. The other retro toys seem to have done well, and the 40th anniversary of the brand would be a good year to do it.

If they keep putting them out, I'll keep buying them. Hound was my favorite purchase of 2023. Accurate-colors Hot Rod has replaced all my Hot Rods on the shelf (and I have a lot of Hot Rods).

There's nothing like a G1 toy from a tactile perspective. They're just so intuitive to transform, without being shoddy and oversimplified like the kiddie lines of today. I just picked up the new KO Metroplex that's doing the rounds for less than the price of a Voyager (or, for today's purposes, less than the price of this single Optimus cab), and it's a doozy.

I want the Missing Link version from Takara, though I'm slightly hesitant about paying those prices!
