Buahaha! :lol: :lol: :lol: Totally not worth it. Maybe TC, but "Orion" is such a huge disappointment, especially with how Takara handles the Prime lineup of toys. I mean, seriously, stickers?!?!?!

$65.00 for a deluxe? Does anyone else think that pricing is really getting out of hand on these figures? I know they said the price "may" come down but come on.

I'm going to pick up Thundercracker one way or another, but not for that much. :SICK:

Is it me, or are there ten times as many "exclusive/special/repaint/limited" Transformers Prime toys than there are actual Transformers Prime toys?

Dial it back a tick.

I'm assuming the color is way off on those pictures. Thundercracker looks turquoise instead of blue, and OP looks fuchsia.

AGREED. I'm not digging this at all.

Are they just doing this so as to not have to mas produce for retailers and maybe save some dough, while making a little more listing it as an exclusive? Inquiring minds wanna know....

So when Hasbro does it it's fine, but when TakaraTomy does it suddenly you have a problem with it? :lol:

In all seriousness though, so far TakaraTomy has only done these exclusive items:

- Battle Shield Optimus
- Shining Optimus Prime
- Terrorcon Cliffjumper
- Orion Pax
- Thundercracker

All those Arms Micron repaints are nothing new, as store giveaways are really common in Japan. Mini-Cons and Microns, or basically anything small are cheap and collectable, so...
