They go about the same, loose. Sealed goes for $20-30 though.


Really? I hated this figure, it got loose real fast and the "Air Board" was really stupid and didn't make much sense with the figure.


I think it's supposed to be a nod to this:

You remind us of that abomination RhA? XD

Back on topic, I love the hover board, the whole figure pays a great homage to the original and transmetal forms of Optimus Primal.
I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting my hands on it. :)

The figure is quite good. Mine hasn't experienced any loosening of he joints.its as tight as he day Iicked it up at Target.

Yes the hoverbord is silly, though it does have a reason as has been mentioned before.

The only difference between the Cybertron Version, and the 10th Anniversarry Beastwars version aside from the paint, is that the Anniversarry version came with a tiny die cast ark space ship.

Transformation is quite interesting and different, and the sculpted fur and mechanical detail is very nice.

I do recommend this figure.
I... have the power!!!!

Those ships are just rubbery plastic. No die cast at all.

Either way, a surfing gorilla is radical to the max, and that's why this figure is awesome.
