I remember Transformers being pretty expensive as a kid. Does anyone remember some of the retail prices for some of the big guys like Fortress Maximus, Omega Supreme, Metroplex & Trypticon? I think the regular G1 cars were around CA$12 and the jets were around CA$15 (I will have to check a few of my G1 boxes tonight).

i remeber that the dinobots were 20 a piece. the small gestalt limbs were 8. not too different from now. which is odd. i dont remember fortmaxs price since that was a kids crushed dream. but i have an eternia box and it was marked down to 69.90 if thats any point of reference. tf's were not for the poor child. i do remeber buying powermaster prime for 40.00 in 1989.

I suspect not to many kids got Fortress Maximus for Christmas at $100. I know I wouldn't have.

A little. That went away after a few minutes of watching my new Sears 13" color tv in all its glory.

From looking at old Christmas catalogs, I can say that Transformers prices are just about the same as they are now for the new ones.
