That stinks bro. I wish I were able to help you out. Alas I cannot.
Just know that there are folks out there thast will give you a break. I was very foutunate to have found members that were willing to let certain figures go without taking a huge bight from the wallett.
Ya know, after viewing the pic jelzee sent, that purple megs isnt ALL that bad. The first thing I din with my megs was to push out the pin holding in those "wings". He looks far better without them IMO.
Were you to remove the wings from that figure you would also eliminate the neon green. Also since jelzee says the orange fades (Im inclined to believe him) that would leave you with a grey and purple megs. Thats not so bad at all and I think you can get him for around thirtyfive dollars before shipping on ebay.
Hey jelzee, when were classics megs and optimus offered to us here in the stores do you know? What were the prices on them at the time?
Also, were their eastern counterparts being sold simultaniously or were they sold before/after those figures were offered to us in the states?

Would someone please post/link a pic of the Optimus that the OP is referring to? I have UN09 and need a g1 style voyager prime to go with him.

Personally, I have the regular US Classics Prime, and he was always good enough for me. I bought US Classics Megatron originally, but was thankfully finally able to replace him with Henkei Megatron. I was unaware of the tendency of the orange to fade, and it's been so long since I saw a picture of a pristine Classics Megatron that I didn't notice the slow fade over time, but now I can tell my Classics Megatron has faded a bit over time. United Megatron does look pretty sweet but I'm content with Henkei. Plus, I dig the chrome.

That deluxe Thunder Megatron is so tempting, just for the glorious G2 homage. But I'm not sure I can justify buying a third rendition of a mold that's really kinda lame.

I also dig the chrome on my megs and prefer him to all other megs reinditions thus far.
Weird too as I usually do not like the chrome pieces on figures.

Classics on the left, Henkei on the right

Sold! Thanks for the pic JelZe!

to everyone who's wanting to look for one:

1) thanks the DIA Commander add-on kit (think city Commander), he too goes for insane prices on the aftermarket
2) rumors indicate the mold has degraded beyond any real use, so a re-release is highly unlikely.

I may have Ultra Magnus already, but I hate the first fact for ruining my chances of getting Prime as well!

A few questions from your most avid asker please sir.
What is the DIA and how does it effect the prices of O.P?
Do you have the city commander add on for your ultra magnus? man I want one of those so badly, but I cannot rationalize spending such cash on it. I seriously doubt that my wife or I will pull one of our "omg I cant believe I got a great deal on that" moves on a city commander, ultramagnus.
It realy sucks to be so screwed on such an important character.
Ya know I heard that a third party developer had a power master optimus prime add on in the works. Is this confirmed?
