Classics Exclusives: 50% Worth Owning?

Exclusive Classics 2.0 Figures in Japanese Style Boxes released only by HasbroToyShop.com around Xmas? Yes, sir, you have my attention.

But on closer inspection, imagine my letdown when I realized that two of the four figures (Optimus Prime and Megs) are re-releases of what are possibly the worst two molds in the entire line, namely the figures that were released in the ill-fated two-pack that most of us ended up throwing out due to their terrible posing, and inability to stay in one piece. Not to mention that the paint job on prime is barely new. (Megs looks better, but I won't be deceived....that crazy waist spring still lies in wait...)

Still for the Classics completists amongst us, I suppose this might still be tempting.

Personally I will be opting to only add the Dragstrip and Overkill models since I like the Mirage and Grimlock molds and feel the redecos represent the G1 characters quite well.

Pricing on these is $16 on HTS.com, which with taxes and shipping works out to just under $20USD. With currency exchange and fees to use a US card to get em for us, it will work out to $26 or so. Send your orders our way asap....the good ones will likely sell out as most HTS exclusives tend to do.

p.s. These don't ship until December....
