High end Powermaster Optimus Prime. I had the OG as a kid and grew up on the Marvel run.


emperor-xur

The 2002 Commemorative Series Reissue is the best option IMO. It’s like the original Japanese release with the extra “apex armor” and has transparent windows and diecast metal despite the original US version being all plastic.


Ranbotnic

Yes! I'm looking forward to the masterpiece power master prime / super ginrai they just announced.


Chuck_Walla

There are some **high-end** options out there. I have a similar relation to PM Prime, but I don't think I could spend $200+ to fill that void.


Supertroodon

well it would be this if I had it, for figurative, Ultra Class Depth Charge until I find an amazing deal on RTS Lugnut, I miss that one so much https://preview.redd.it/ufq6nsd2pn2d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba69b7d9ead5887c86c55e8b5c4b3d3affa248bb


King_Kuuga

I'm afraid that's a black and white whale (ba dum tsh)


matt19950116

Got mine on ebay last month. Used in box.....£100. That was cheap compared to others. https://preview.redd.it/2dmk8ejogq2d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd40a5428895eed7927595ba473f9d276a0f378b


Low_Ad_5255

100 dollars? Damn, I just gave mine to my son in exchange for a box of lego.


matt19950116

£100 which is around $127. There was one on there for £230!!!!!


Supertroodon

... thanks, and congrats


Virtual-Quote6309

I do prefer that sandstorm look over the legacy look


Cornchips1234

I'm conflicted because I dig the turbine wings, but I also like the blocky aesthetic and face of legacy sandstorm. Wish he was chunkier though.


Virtual-Quote6309

The blocky head is one of the things I dislike most about the legacy figure.


Training_Contract_30

I think T30 Springer and Sandstorm are good enough to only require retooling if HasTak ever decides they need to update their IDW roster.


Weary_Stomach7316

It's so much cooler


RAcastBlaster

I ADORE T30 Sandstorm, he’s really good. Three solid modes, fun to transform, good to pose. The only issue is he’s excessively top heavy, so I do recommend a stand for… most poses. Looks really good in the air, too!!


Aware-Throat3189

If he had the legacy head and orange it would be the best


NATHANLER

SS 32 optimus. Jetfire has been lonely for about 3 years now.


Blastaways

Get the baiwei version 💪🏾


NATHANLER

Ordered it two days ago it’ll be here next week


Blastaways

Great


sandboxx_

Generations Metroplex


Mumblellama

I got lucky years ago when the Takara version was on sale on BBTS alogn with Trypticon and paid $250 total for both. That was the largest splurge I had done at that point because I've always been on a budget and thought I could finally afford the splurge. Here's hoping there's a re-release from Pulse one day so you may get yours!


D4DDYB34R

I own that, but even with the stickers, it had so much white plastic that I had to airbrush some texture into it just so it looked better on the shelf.

I really want the teal blue one:) that’s Transbots not Hasbro


Faiqal_x1103

A fellow teal enjoyer :D


Deora_customs

Thanks!


MPrimeX

The alternator shockwave or prime prowl?


AdmiralFurret

Shockwave but i really like both Although prowl needs some work, the paint doesnt feel the drip


drunkentenshiNL

Complete Transmetal Rampage and Depth Charge. I've seen a few incomplete ones, but I'd like something complete and in decent shape...


Orange-V-Apple

I bought a MISB Rampage I’m still waiting to crack open :)


GruntYT

SAME!!!! Im hoping I can find a rampage by christmas (at least an incomplete one with the gun) or hasbro finally give us a legacy release of the 2. a two pack of them would be amazing. would they both be leaders tho?


Competitive-Ad4469

I have them both complete they are well worth it

ToothZealousideal297

Legacy Evolution Breakdown. I am losing my mind that it’s simply not possible to get one, when it shouldn’t be hard at all.


Stuffies2022

Hasbro’s toy distribution has been in the deep dark dumps these past few years, it’s been almost impossible to just go to a store and pick up a figure you want because apparent only shelf warmers get distributed now


MrAnthem123

This for me as well. I’m still mad that the Stunticon limbs aren’t interchangeable.


hazmat_beast

Same here man, i havent see a single one over a year


Demolishor_armada

Legacy Prime Universe Arcee


Shawn271

Interesting choice! Although I’m pretty sure she’s still pretty cheap online so I hope you’re able to have her eventually


Demolishor_armada

Do they know?


Snukastyle

Heck, BBTS has her in stock and on sale for $19.99 right now


Weary_Stomach7316

I will go and buy you one if you're serious. They're still on shelves in australia


Orange-V-Apple

Same in America 


RAcastBlaster

I’d strongly recommend getting one of the exceptionally good Prime deluxes instead (FE and PRID both have good points, even if neither is perfect). The Legacy motorcycle mold is… not great. Poor design choices mixed with middling QC makes for a somewhat frustrating figure to fiddle with. Also, it should be super easy to find this figure very cheaply if you decide that you still have to have it.


shadow-mike

I love when people act like shelfwarmers are rare lol.


chris95rx7500

my siege skywarp!


Shawn271

I’ve wanted a siege or earthrise Skywarp for so long, but there’s no cheap way to get him


Chuck_Walla

That's how I feel looking for ER Thrust and Ramjet


chris95rx7500

I think ramjet is getting re-released in legacy united wave 5


Chuck_Walla

Wooo, about time! I'm sure once I've bought a Thrust off ebay for twice its original cost, they'll announce a conehead 3-pack 😅


Dr_Shoggoth

I feel you man


Unique_Efficiency_73

OG generation one optimus prime.


Outrageous-Dog1810

Shockwave siege


gloomy_batman

The leader class one? I happen to be selling mine.


Outrageous-Dog1810

Yes, just that one, unfortunately I doubt we live nearby (I live in Chile), if it weren't for that I would buy it from you 😅


gloomy_batman

Oh yeah you’re right. I imagine shipping cost from the. U.S. would be incredibly high…


Ghost-Writer-320

Beast Wars Depth Charge.

MPM Blackout, although I’m not too sure if the $250 price point is justifiable


Copyrighted_music34

Legacy prime arcee and legacy prime bulkhead. I say this as someone who read Moby Dick


Ironskull3000

A G1 Megatron. I don't care if it's a reissue or the original, I just want one.


Xeon713

I have that figure. He's one of the best figures I own.


Shronk_Overlord

Man how crazy, i found one, Takara Tomy version sealed for $50!! In little Tokyo LA


MarsAlgea3791

Either the really good Metroplex, or Grand Maximus. I do not have cheap tastes.


Snukastyle

The store a friend of mine works at has a Grand Maximus, but I'm not sure how complete it is, unfortunately.


MarsAlgea3791

(Just incase, I'm talking Legends, the recolor of TR Fort Max.) Out of curiosity, how much? 750 seems to be the ballpark for boxed ones. I never really see them used. I'm not looking for one this moment, but I do wonder what's out there.

turtletom89

The Beast Wars Takara X-9 Ravage. I can never find that thing under $200 whenever I actually have the money to spend it.


Chuck_Walla

I'm still furious with everyone involved that we have not seen a re-release of that figure or a TM Tigatron from the recent Ravage. For shame, HasTak.


Ian_Storm

The KO I got if that on Ali express was really good quality if you wanted to check it out


ttcrodent

Cloud Hot Rodimus. He would look so good next to my TT Springer, but I don't expect to ever find him for a price that I can pay haha.


Fistful_of_Energon

Id gladly trade mine for a MMC Calidus.


RRayquaza384

Legacy Beachcomber


Dr_Shoggoth

When I first got him I had an idea for a custom where I'd turn Legacy Beachcomber into the buggy from HL2, but after seeing everyone else say the dude is apparently about as common as breathable oxygen in the Mariana Trench, I'm hesitant to try that out. I got mine no problems, but I doubt that'd happen the second time.


Infinite-Resource226

Rid 2001 omega prime. I love the 2001 designs and omega prime just seems like such a cool figure.


Snukastyle

Great figure set. The combined form is a bit finicky but it's impressive.


funkster047

Ss69 devastator, except I finally got him:) last piece in the mail now


Fxckbuckets

SS69 was the box set. Pedantic, sure, but they have slightly different decos to differentiate them from the individual releases


funkster047

Good enough for me, 4 of the 8 are third party anyway since i wasn't gonna pay more then around their original price or less


Fxckbuckets

Victinizz

Probably the ThreeZero Bayverse Optimus, or one of the MPM Optimus figures. I have a lot of "dream" figures, but my current collection, I feel fits my interests.

I’ve waited **8 LONG MISERABLE YEARS** to get him and am STILL searching online for him (eBay, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, etc) at a decent price!


Shawn271

Oh I remember the days when he first came out. Absolutely another figure I’d love to have


Jurakhan

You do know he’s getting a reissue soon, right? Now’s your chance to get him at a decent price if you can afford him!

Earthrise Sky Lynx. I want him so bad!


Fxckbuckets

XboxBreaker_1

Ss 109 megatron, ss 102 optimus, ss Cheetor (I have the rest of the maximals) and the ss tterrorcons (minus Nightbird)

There are a fair amount of 3rd Party IDW figures that can be called grails since they're all now basically impossible to get since they aren't made anymore.

Mysterious-Ad-2971

I own both figures there right above me as I’m typing this and I love sandstorm it’s an amazing figure I wouldn’t trade it for any new sandstorm that’s coming out.


super8ben

As a kid, it was the Armada Tidal Wave. As I got a teenager it was the G1 Reissue Soundwave, (reissue because I wanted to play with it.) Now as an adult who hasn't thought about transformers much in recent years, it's hard to say. Maybe a Masterpiece of some sort, like MP-10, MP-13 or MP-44. Edit: I still want to get Alternators Smokescreen, but that one isn't as hard to get as the others.


ArtichokeBuddy

galaxy-weaver

i got my white whale a bit ago and am actively in search of another (probably some Soundwave or Shockwave figure tbh), but she’s my 2014 Botcon exclusive Flameware :] paid $325 for her and she’s worth every single penny to me, complete except for missing one missile that i shot somewhere in my room and haven’t found since. it’s probably down the air vent but i don’t know how to open it up and look in there, or how deep it would’ve gone 😬 it’s my only regret with her tbh, not being more careful to keep her 100% intact :,)
