        1. @rarity Naw but that is legit the only place I know of to get vintage styles. What were you looking for in particular?

          1. @thelastgherkin well it's not that vintage really, from the early Armada line. I'm looking for that Optimus that transforms into a base with that infrared gimmick when you transform his cab. I had it as a kid, showed a video to my brother, and now he wants one for his birthday... They have a bunch on eBay but the prices vary wildly. TL;DR basically, do you know of a place that lists like, average prices or something? Kind of like a Kelley Blue Book for giant robots

            1. @rarity Yeah there's not really a website for that. There's not a market in sitting on toys from 10 years ago, despite there being a market for selling on toys from 30 years ago. However, how's this one? http://pny.lv/3e2l

              1. @thelastgherkin that one looks really good, thanks for finding it!

                1. @rarity As far as I can ascertain, that's a mostly full set. He doesn't say anything is missing, but there's the chance it doesn't include the larger cannon or the Mini-Con. From the looks of it, everything else is there. Oh, and batteries will definitely have to be changed.

                  1. @thelastgherkin As far as I can tell the infrared automatic transform thing is almost always broken on these so that's the only other thing I'd worry about, but it'd be a bonus really if it worked at all. Thanks again

                    1. @rarity Nooooo problem.

                    2. @rarity Aaaaand listing's closed! Hopefully you got it.

                      1. @thelastgherkin yup that was me! I hope he likes it

                        1. @rarity Who can resist Armada Prime? I actually took the smaller one out of storage the other day.

                          Saturday, 19-Jul-14 19:41:07 UTC from web
                          1. @thelastgherkin I didn't even know that there's a smaller one

                            Saturday, 19-Jul-14 19:41:54 UTC from web
                            1. @rarity Yeah, it's a couple of inches shorter with a grey jet Mini-Con and no trailer.

                              1. @thelastgherkin but the trailer is like the coolest part

                                Saturday, 19-Jul-14 19:45:50 UTC from web
              2. @thelastgherkin Hey I have that exact set!

                Saturday, 19-Jul-14 19:13:30 UTC from web
                1. @techdisk Me too! And the other, darker one.
