Hey First Generation Transformers Fans!
Naturally, Ben and I moved away from Cincinnati and BotCon decide to go there this year. Lucky WithaK!
All will be forgiven in light of Hasbro's recent announcement of their 25th anniversary Optimus Prime Pack. Just in case you missed their 20th anniversary re-release of the generation one Optimus Prime (and several other Autobots and Decepticons that now reside Mint in Box in our house, even the spare ones that were purchased with the intention of taking them out to play with them).
This one comes with the G1 Optimus Prime re-issue (what smart people at Hasbro: the molds are already made, so let's recapture some of that secondary market money!), an "Autobot Shield" that recreates sounds and phrases, the original 3-part animated "More Than Meets the Eye" series (presumably on DVD) and a re-release of the original comic.
All for the low, low collector's price of $69.99.
But, if you recall the G1 Transformers-induced age-regression of my husband a while back, I'm sure that this little gem will find its way into our home somehow. Knowing that if I purchase a second one for Ben to take out of the box that it will still stay in the box, at least I don't have to worry about buying two!
(I have no idea what that little white car thingy is in the photo, which is from the hasbro.com article.)
