My apologies folks, please disregard.

Dafuq R U smoking, guys? That's clearly the normal deluxe version in the set.

Platinum Optimus v. Megatron, Planet of Junk Set, Sky Lynx and G2 Menasor showing up in Singapore:

We learnt at Toy Fair 2016 that one of the Transformers Platinum sets would have the previously Takara Exclusive Voyager Grimlock retool and a Warrior Bumblebee redeco. This set is now available at Walmart.ca and selling out quickly.

One of the reasons for this might be because it's price is not that bad. It is CDN $80, which is the equivalent to about USD $60 which is about the same price it cost to initially import those two toys to the US (Granted the Bumblebee mold was also available in the US and this Platinum deco is different to all the previous decos of that mold). If anyone is curious, that Grimlock is long gone from any site offering him and is now only available on e-bay for the price of this whole set. There is no solid evidence indicating where and when this set will be available in the US.

The listing offers us something extra too, some new photos. We can now see the alt mode deco and it seems that Grimlock is not painted black like the Takara version but rather gun metal black/dark grey, with some more grey at certain places making him less show accurate than the original Takara deco.

Argh, i want it, but really do not need it nor need to spend the money :MAXIMAL:

This may be one of the most reasonably priced Platnium sets so far. If it comes to the states I'd be interested in getting it.

News Credits: 79 · Tue Mar 15, 2016 5:49 pm

Looks pretty good. Still, probably have to pass on it...

Tue Mar 15, 2016 9:40 pm

Even at $60, that's asking WAY too much. That's the thing I really can't get behind with these "Platinum" releases; they charge a hand and foot over what they're would for a regular release. Makes them an easy pass. >:oP

Though that Platinum Dinobots set sale on BBTS a couple weeks ago was pretty great, I wish I had more interest in those, because whoever pulled the trigger on those got a great deal.

Are people really looking for that Takara Grimlock?

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of Oscar Fung, who posted several in-hand photos of the upcoming “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” box set, we get our best look yet at this much anticipated new Platinum set. The “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” set includes a repainted Classics Voyager Optimus Prime and Classics Voyager Megatron, both of whom are sporting new decos and a rather large amount of clear plastic. So check them out and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Even though I have 3 times the Classic Optimus mold and 2 times the Classic Megatron mold, I'm really digging this set. If I see it on sale, it would be a sure buy.

These look better than expected...

Looking better and better. I'm digging these guys. The clear on OP's arms look like energon shields to me. Imagination is fun, well that was my allotment for the month. /:)

the decos on these guys are pretty sweet. Digging the red on Megs :MAXIMAL:

I'll be passing on the "'Till All Are One" set for sure. I've never been a big fan of translucent plastic outside of windows or the like. Plus, I've already got the perfect (for me) versions of these molds: Transformers Cloud Optimus Prime with the wind vane from Evolution 2-Pack Classics Prime, the smoke stacks from 2006 Classics Prime, and the rifle and axe from Generations Orion Pax; and Transformers United Voyager Megatron.

I gotta say, I like how the windvane's deco looks like tech detailing in gun mode (and not, y'know, a shredded Autobot sigil).
