Oh, please. OP seems to have always gotten this many toys.
You know of another year where we had 10 different Prime toys scheduled for release?
There were 17 last year and I wasn't even thorough. Could have been more.
Woah, 17 different Optinus Primes?! Why does it seem like this year is crazier?
Edit: i know why, its because the majority of 2018 Oprimus toys were relegated to lines specifically ained at kids and not fans like Bumblebee and Cyberverse while this year we are seeing several Optimus toys in lines older fans care more for like Studio Series.
That's probably a big part of it. The Takara Movie the Best series pads the 2018 "collector Prime" count out though, as do the MP-10 recolors in 7-11 Convoy and MP-10G.
Lots of Primes is ok though. New collectors having a shot at cool Optimus toys can't be a bad thing!
Oh not bad at all, I just figured with all these new different Optimus toys coming out (especially in within the same line) it might be worth making a quick list to let people know what's up.
And yeah, I wasnt thinking about all those redecos last year (like Gold Optimus). Not that they dont count, but since all these 2019 primes are new molds (more or less), that was my basis for comparing to 2018.
Basically, last year we had 1 Prime in Studio Series, this year we have 3. We had 1 Optimus in POTP, Siege gives us 2, plus a fully new MP mold and that crazy crossover stuff. 2019 felt a little more special for Optimus than previous years.

It was Japan-only and released last year. We got the Target exclusive Soundwave and tape set instead.

Bah! Bah, I say! I thought we were supposed to be getting everything Japan was getting now that they were blurring the lines between that whole 'Hasbro vs. Takara' stuff.
Its not that we are getting everything Japan is getting, its that now what we are both getting is the same. Important difference. It means if there is a toy coming out for Takara that is also coming out for Hasbro, they will be identical. That's why their Grotusque was the same as ours, so was their Throne of the Primes, and thats why MP Optimus Ver 3 will be speaking Japanese nomater who you buy him from.
