ha! for like the first time ever, i was patient. i saw EMOP on shelves (even on sale a couple times) and said "no.... no no... just wait for takaras". had i crumbled like i normally do, i might have bought this 3P item.megatronus wrote:shajaki wrote:neat. but i have no desire to ginrai up my evasion prime.
On deciding whether this was for me or not, I first counted how many versions of Evasion Prime I have/am going to end up with:
-Hasbro (own)
-Takara (on order)
-Platinum Edition 2-pack (own)
-Evolution 2-pack (awaiting patiently)
At least one of those Primes could stand an upgrade.
EDIT: I also want that Evasion Nemesis Prime. So. Much.

dont be upset with that. right out of the gate that nemesis prime was 200 shipped wherever i looked. now he's pushing past 250, not including shipping. so im looking at 300ish after shipping and conversion....megatronus wrote:About a month ago, I worked out a deal with an eBay seller for Nemesis Grimlock and Nemesis Prime for $330 shipped. eBay was handing out 10% eBay bucks that day, so in my head, I got the pair for $300.
I'm still kicking myself for having paid that much, even though it's probably better than anything we'll see on eBay for some time. But given that this thing really seems to have been a literal exclusive, I feel somewhat justified. More so if that resell value sticks.
The package arrived a few days after I left for my trip. Once I'm back in a couple weeks, I'm sure I'll be won over by its sheer black repaint glory.
Also, before I left, I picked up the Prime Evolution 2-pack... so check that off my list.

I'm pretty sure you're the minority on this. People love Evasion Optimus - I think. Folks out there, correct me if I'm wrong.Tsutsukakushi wrote:To make matters worse, Always thought the AOE Voyager Optimus toy was a terribly sculpted, anorexic and puny looking optimus toy.
3rd Party kits just as often take a sub-par toy and make it acceptable, or take a decent toy and make it great. A figure doesn't need to be the best thing ever to warrant an upgrade.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Only willing to buy a 3rd party replacements parts kits or add on kit if the actual HasTak or 3rd party toy is awesome. in this case, Think the AOE Voyager Optimus toy is a failure of a toy in every category possible.
We already got a Leader scale Optimus.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Had the AOE Evasive Optimus design been done on a leader scale. Then this would have forced the designers and engineers to make the sculpt more bulkier, higher sculpted-detailed, more parts and pieces,higher spending budget and given it stronger joints tech.

I'd imagine it would look almost the same. I believe the differences between regular release and Evo pack Prime is a few extra paint apps, grey feet (instead of blue for the regular) and a face mask. Since you're getting a new head with this pack, it seems that the rest of the armor pieces will cover any different paint apps. The feet may be the only real difference if you plan on keeping him in robot mode.
