Anyone seen the new Transformers silver coins?? Any thoughts on the new series? I don't mind the Bumblebee, but they better not be in those plastic outer cases like the last set Hmm, the prices say "Unavailable" and the products are "No Longer Available"?? Maybe they're getting the product pages ready to list as no info are on the pages yet Source: The Perth Mint Transformers III - Bumblebee 1oz Silver Proof Coinhttp://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/transformers-bumblebee-silver-proof-coin.aspx ----------- Source: The Perth Mint Transformers III - Megatron 1oz Silver Proof Coinhttp://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/transformers-megatron-silver-proof-coin.aspx ----------- Source: The Perth Mint 2011 Optimus Prime 1oz Silver Pr PP Transformer III Coinhttp://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/transformers-optimus-prime-silver-proof-coin.aspx ----------- The first two coins are below:
These seem to just be place holder pages for the release of these coins with the new Transformers movie due out soon.

Will definitely be buying up these! Have the original two in the series. Bit disappointed they're doing Megatron and Optimus ones again though. Could've easily concentrated on other transformers.
Makes you wonder what will happen to the price of the original Megatron / Optimus Prime coins - worth more because they are the originals, or worth less due to the newer ones being in higher demand?
meh they should have left it as one movie. getting very played out and over marketed for my liking. every idiot in newy n sydney has those stupid autobot or decepticon insignias on their commodores..bout as impressive as the my family stickers (they devalue a car by 50% as soon as you stick them on). Megs, OP and BB have worn out their welcome on earth..
Originals were like $70 I think? Will the PM be selling these latest ones for $115? Soooo overpriced now.
I had a quick look on ebay and noticed that some of the original coins are selling around the $120-140 mark... Not much of an increase since their release, but it'll be interesting to see how much they go up once the new releases hit.
I have a few of the originals for $110 each if anyone is still after them. Must buy 1 of each though.
This years coins are now available on the PM store. $115 each or all three for $299. Similar plastic crappy cases to last time.
Michael Bay has permanently ruined my favourite childhood toy. These new transformers look nothing like the originals. Hideously ugly. /rant.
The boxes ruined it for me. I would prefer to get it in a capsule and pay $99. I also think there may be value in Bumblebee. Optimus and Megatron each year and him as a loner may stand out a bit in the future.
If you're planning on buying these, don't forget to use the SS referral link! http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-10138-new-perth-mint-releases-transformers.html
