Expensive, superior exclusives! But still... Stuff like this makes me wish that Hasbro would step up their game. If not, then I need to make one of those commercials showing poor collectors who get stuck with what Walmart (who had a nice, basic exclusive of this version of Optimus Prime) and Target give us! ;)

Besides, I am hoping that if Takara Tomy reissues this into the Japanese market, that they use the same gold detailing used on the Walmart exclusive variant of him. =P~ I mean... :michaelbay:

I'm having a real hard time ignoring this now. There's still not one version of a movie Optimus which contains all the features that I like, but this one might have the most prominent ones. I don't like the handheld blades, but I do like that they've got the silver detailing. It's got a facemask, pinstriping (albeit pale blue and not white) and the DoTM abdomen. Yeah it doesn't have the Buster's brilliant gun, but if that fella here on the forums mass produces his custom guns that'll sort that out.

Argh! I want it!

Can someone tell me why Robotkingdom sells these for $50 less than TFSource or BigBadToyStore? And do all of those sites ship to the U.S.? And is there a customs or import tax coming from Japan?

First off, it's only a $40 difference and this is an asian market exclusive which doesn't include Japan. Robotkingdom is based in Hong Kong and yes they do ship to the U.S. which will run about $26 and some change.

BBTS and TFSource are both U.S. based so it goes without saying they ship to the U.S. They also have higher importing costs as well as your usual mark up for profit which accounts for the difference in price. There may or may not be other factors that I am not considering but those are the main ones.

The U.S. also doesn't have any customs or import tax so that question is no.

Thanks, LOST Cybertronian. Two other questions for anyone that owns one of these:

U.F.O. Unknown Factory Originals - War Axe For DOTM Leader Class Optimus Prime.

Can you remove some of the grey paint around the edges to make it appear to be glowing? If so, is there a "right" way, or just paint remover and patience?

We have a couple of new images of the upcoming Asian market exclusive APS-01 Striker Otpimus Prime. Our first image comes to us from the Hobby Ark Toy Store facebook page, and gives a look at the figure's packaging. The second image, courtesy of the Planet Iacon facebook, is of the actual figure. The figure is scheduled to release on November 7th.
