2005 Boards member and Toys ‘R Us employee ChErikS has confirmed the identify of several Generation One re-issues that will be exclusive to Toys ‘R Us stores sometime this September. During the company’s quarterly meeting last week, ChErikS reports that the company announced that Hasbro will be re-issuing Perceptor and the Insecticons (Bombshell, Kickback, and Shrapnel).

His comments escaped my comrades' sarcasm detectors

$20 for Perceptor is a steal.
However, $34.99, which is the actual price, isn't bad either.
Runamuck
Well, he's $35 not 20. But seriously? You think that's too much? I'd like to see you find a minty one for less than $20. Ain't gonna happen.

I love Preceptor but 20 bucks? That's a bit much.
Master Sing
Wow… I was at botcon and skipped right by that section cuz I thought I only seen animated & movie figure which I am uninterested in….
That'll teach me too look more closely in the future!
Shockwave22
Figures I bought the Japan ones lol

Yea, at the Hasbro booth the tags said $34.99. They look ver nice and will definately be part of my collection with the SDCC Soundwave…

The pictures from botcon had prices on the little display tags, and they had them listed as $35, im guessing US
Master Sing
Insecticons will be swooped upon in a merciless fashion
Already have TFC Perceptor
If the prices are not too extreme, this bodes well for the future

Perceptor for $20? Keep dreaming
.

If Perceptor is more than $20 and each Insecticon is more than $10 or $30 together, then TRU can keep'em!
LifePincher
As you mentioned above when quoting my post, it's definitely nice to know, thanks again
So your thought is that they will be between $30.00 – $35.00 per?
MagnusPrimal
Didn't someone who works at TRU say they'd be $34.99?

$29.99. Same as it's been for 3 years. Retail don't float with the currency exchange.

I'm glad I already have all 3 original insecticons, saves me 50 bucks. As for Perceptor, I had him when I was a kid, and somehow I'm not sure he's worth 50.
Soundwave84
Damn I will def will be buying these no doubt
Optimus Prime
This.
And 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime has chrome, too. I think it's likely that Perceptor and the Insecticons will be properly blinged.
Yugh
As does my Toys-r-us reissue Soundwave, which people are forgeting is exclusive to which means chrome.

Cannot wait for September to grab Perceptor. Even if he does cost $50 it will be less than a MIB original.
The E-Hobby Insecticon Clone Army cost just less than $50. The reissue set might be around that price due to inflation. That's just an educated guess.
I am really wishing that $50 is the combined price for Perceptor and the Insecticons.
I especially wish Hasbro would reissue Wheeljack and the Dinobots.
