Weapon: Sub-Machine Gun
I already own Buster, and Black Jetwing...

Having a shield and gun did not sell me previously, and the shiny paintjob is still not working for me. With Ultra Magnus priced around $85, I doubt this will be anywhere within my price range, plus, 3 ROTF Prime molds are abit too much IMO.

Unless this thing is below $140USD, I have no interest. >:oP

I'd like a version of this mold that has both the Striker and Jetwing accessories. Heck, I'd even take a version of Jetwing prime that has chrome parts.

i wonder if you can use the buster gun on this version( i mean, replace the gas tanks) that would make this the ultimate movie optimus version(well, the striker with the swords, the buster gun, jetfire and the jetwing XD) but seriously, i have wondering that since the first striker version came out

I already have this mold with another on the way...I wish they'd just sell the add-on kit. I'd definitely go for that.

Great.

You just HAD to show the high quality images, didn't you?

I wanted him, but was conflicted about the price.

Now I HAVE to get him!

At first, I wanted him because he is a very impressive piece. Then I saw how much he would cost me if I wanted to add him to my collection. Now I am thinking "Maybe not" because he costs more than what I paid for my "2010" Predaking set.

Okay... Granted, I got that piece on sale. But even then... It is the same price as the set originally cost! :michaelbay: I mean... I guess I'll look for another piece to add to my collection. :grin:

Expensive, superior exclusives! But still... Stuff like this makes me wish that Hasbro would step up their game. If not, then I need to make one of those commercials showing poor collectors who get stuck with what Walmart (who had a nice, basic exclusive of this version of Optimus Prime) and Target give us! ;)

Besides, I am hoping that if Takara Tomy reissues this into the Japanese market, that they use the same gold detailing used on the Walmart exclusive variant of him. =P~ I mean... :michaelbay:

Motto: "Motive is a universal weakness."
I'm having a real hard time ignoring this now. There's still not one version of a movie Optimus which contains all the features that I like, but this one might have the most prominent ones. I don't like the handheld blades, but I do like that they've got the silver detailing. It's got a facemask, pinstriping (albeit pale blue and not white) and the DoTM abdomen. Yeah it doesn't have the Buster's brilliant gun, but if that fella here on the forums mass produces his custom guns that'll sort that out.

Argh! I want it!

Can someone tell me why Robotkingdom sells these for $50 less than TFSource or BigBadToyStore? And do all of those sites ship to the U.S.? And is there a customs or import tax coming from Japan?

First off, it's only a $40 difference and this is an asian market exclusive which doesn't include Japan. Robotkingdom is based in Hong Kong and yes they do ship to the U.S. which will run about $26 and some change.

BBTS and TFSource are both U.S. based so it goes without saying they ship to the U.S. They also have higher importing costs as well as your usual mark up for profit which accounts for the difference in price. There may or may not be other factors that I am not considering but those are the main ones.

The U.S. also doesn't have any customs or import tax so that question is no.

Thanks, LOST Cybertronian. Two other questions for anyone that owns one of these:

U.F.O. Unknown Factory Originals - War Axe For DOTM Leader Class Optimus Prime.

Can you remove some of the grey paint around the edges to make it appear to be glowing? If so, is there a "right" way, or just paint remover and patience?
