4k for a 6'6", 245 lb statue? Pass please! This statue totally rules, and I think it's worth about that much (just because it's a 6'6" statue of Optimus Prime), it's just that there's no way in heck I'd ever be able to afford it. Nor would anyone else in my immediate family.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

o-k-a-y....

First of all if someone thinks only size can get them profit well think again. For almost 4000 bucks and hundreds for shipping that piece of crap better go to work for me as well or at least i can claim him on my tax return.

Here is how it should be done - Cut the damn thing down to half the size, make it fully transformable as the leader size for the same price and i might reconsider it.

I hate it when jerks out there toying with people money.

At $4,000 US each. I think I'll get two. One for the living room, as a conversation piece, and one on the bathroom to freak people out, and to act as storage for spare toilet paper.

Yes, I am quite insane :P :P

Hey Seibs, I bet if you open an actual Energon Pub on your end of town where the fans could come and touch it, You could get away with collecting donations for one.

AND it will be a business expense... as will every other TF related purchase you would make afterwards.

How bout it? Any Midwest American TF fans wanna go in on the First Transformer Nightclub?

This could be the 'Cinderella's Palace' of the TF Disney World!

80 kgs? That would be hell to transform him... But if they'd do a Galvatron, or Grimlock, I would consider buying them.

I can afford it, but I'd be out of money. Thank god I still know a rich friend. :HEADHURTS:

I'm guessing by afford though, you mean have leftover money.

Agree with everyone above and below me. That is way too much.

But I think it's fake. Come on! A giant Optimus Prime statue is rediculas enough. But to say it's from a company called "'86 Hero Toys" ... really!? '86? As in the year the original TFTM came out. Just sounds too crazy and coincidental to me.

I would think that at 6'6" this Optimus Prime statue would be difficult to pull off, even for you. (That'd be saying something given how great the galleries tend to turn out.)

I saw an online questionaire a long time ago from asking if anyone would have intrest in this. Alot of people said "yeah, but it would cost to much, not transform, and so on..."

To sum up, it all led to alot of people saying "Sorry, but no", and they made it anyway.

Price is higher than I was expecting, and the shipping prices would be astronomical... It would be cheaper for people from outside the USA to hire their own private plane and pilot to get it home, than pay the shipping costs...

Still how many people could say "wanna come see my Giant Prime Statue?"

I would love to!!! Depends on where you live, but.... I have been pondering the idea of opening somthing in that capacity. It would give people who aren't interested in sports bars a place to go enjoy the things they love too, and have a few drinks. Picture it, Anime of somesort playing on the screens, better interior design(futureistic maybe), and kick ass japanese arcade style videogames, and best of all, The Transformers Movie Soundtrack(and stuff of the like) on the jukebox!!! Sounds like heaven on earth to me.......

Oh yeah, the statue rocks, but i wouldn't be able to safely afford it on my own. I wonder if it includes the matrix? That would convince me to consider it further.

Whoa. I need one of these as a gimmick for picking up guys at the bars. "Hey? Wanna check out my two-meter-tall Autobot?" Hmmm, I think I could make one myself for a tiny fraction of the cost, but then it wouldn't be 'official'.

I wanna go to a RL Energon Pub! I'll make you a dart board with Wheelie on it, even!

What would you do with the bloody thing? For that kind of money, you should be able to hit a button and have it transform.
