Smokescrean, Silverstreak and Hoist are $9.99 a piece. That's the cheapest I've seen them.

You know, if they would have released a Grimlock remake, I would have bought it at full price on the first chance that I had to do so...

Yeah, I'm still waiting for all 5 re-releases of the dinobots. You would think they'd just make a boat-load of money off of them.
I have a grimlock and swoop, but bought them at yard-sales years ago, and of course I beat them up pretty bad. Now that I have money, I'd love to have them new.

those are great prices, anyone know if they are good B&M ?
Just found walmart.com has Shockblast in stock for $20 before S&H, I've never seen him at a B&M store and I think he's on the rare side. I picked one up since he is so cool looking.

Yeah me too
"Grimlock mad!" "Why no Gromlock at Amazon?"
Big kickass dinosaur that spoke about himself in the 3rd person, best character in the series.

Unfortunately, in the 3rd season, they decided to have Grimlock around only for comic relief instead of the badass that he used to be in the first two seasons. Still a cool character though.

I would like an affordable re-release of the orginal Optimus Prime complete with trailer.

5 bucks shipping from walmart, I had to also pay like 2 bucks in tax because I'm in CA. So I think my total was like $27.

Some cool stuff there. I only wish DinoRiders or M.A.S.K. were as big a hits as Transformers so they'd release some of those toys again. Those were some amazing stuff.

They DID re-release him a couple years ago. $40 though, and they ran out of them pretty fast. You might find it on ebay now, but don't expect to pay under $40 for it.

I know it'll probably never happen, cause of toy safety codes, but a US re-release of the original Megatron would be sweet.
I have Grimlock, second release from the mid-90's. Only difference is the lack of the color-changing emblem.

I had that pre-ordered at Amazon and never got notified of it's release and the Toysrus near me never got any in. Would it have been so hard to produce it in large numbers, there is no doubt it would have sold well.

I saw Unicron for $25 at TRU B&M. I paid 50 for him back when he came out in fear it would be rare since it cost so much. Alot of people have been amazed at how big he is.
You can see him in the back ground of this pic

there is a Superfire convoy & Combined Combatacons robot on the right.
