It must be cheaper where you are. I've only seen it at toys are us, and they want 90 bucks for it. :cry: If I wasn't still recovering from botcon I'd consider buying it. I did drop 120 on starscream after all.

considering the whole thing is plastic.. or at least from when i looked at him it looked that way.. i dont think that he is worth what they are charging... i would like to have the base though...

Why do people still think he's made entirely out of plastic? It's simply not true, and it never was the plan to make him entirely out of plastic. He has all the same metal bits he always had.

As for the base, that thing is pretty but the "sound alike" voice the Hasbro people got sucks. The dude didn't even try to immitate Prime's voice.

When I saw this guy was being re-released, I started to regret getting one of the older ones, which didn't have the ax or shoulder rest of megatron's gun.

But after seeing this guy in walmart, hearing the horriable base (no additional incentive to buy it what so ever) and seeing the cheesy paint job of dollar store red and bland gray replacing the chrome colors, I sure am glad I got mine off of ebay from when it was first released in the states.

Why E-Bay, I bought mine in the store when they first came out, and it did come with all the accessories including the stock for Megatron and the energy ax. You got an incomplete model.

I didn't even know the 20th anniversery prime existed until little less than a year ago. But when I saw him, I had to have him, but as you know, he usually runs about $80-$100 on ebay and not in stores anymore. But in my daily browsing, I noticed someone put up one with a starting bid of $60 and I guess, accidently selected the "buy it now" option, so I took advantage of it. Plus I'm not that big a fan of the energon ax and the stock for megatron is negligable. I'm more of an enthusiast than a collector so it didn't matter much to me.

Darn you poot! I opened mine up just to make sure and the chest is made of metal. Also, how dare you open up a toy at Toys R Us that you weren't going to buy!

From what I've seen and from talking to some people who got it the trailer isn't that impressive. The KO one that you can find on Ebay is actually better in alot of ways.

I actually jsut sold my KO trailer. it was pretty cool, but I realized that I jsut didn't have room to display it, and really didn't care that much about it. Its been in a box for months and thus ended up in my sale list with all the other figures that I'd rather sell to someone who cares then waste away in a box.

I love it.
Size wise it's perfect for both MP Prime and Alts. The BTA figurines fit in roller almost perfectly.
And as someone else said, roller flies. I think he's cleared about 5 ft.
The command centre part looks better than the official version as it stays all blue and it's missiles clear a ft or two too.

Quality wise it feels as solid as the G1 version, nice and sturdy with stiff joints.

I was actually going to buy the official version too, but I was so happy with it, I dropped my plans to get the official MP-04.

Well got my first look at the new prime and he's definately not nearly as cool as the orginal release, he looks like he's entirely plastic (I know hes got diecast but it looks like cheap plastic) I can't believe they are charging 90 bucks for this thing. non of the paint on him is shiny and just looks cheap in general. Not to mention the voice sounds on it suck
