Here's a video review of that Ultimate Primal!

PvP is "late" in his review for once!



And as I expected, seems that the review of this toy isn't newsworthy.

Considering we are expecting a weapons add-on kit for Prime and Bee, i went ahead and got Yolopark Prime. He's good. I hope i can give him swords

I really want to get a couple of those kits.

Should've got them this weekend. 20% off for SDCC, $30 each, $10 shipped for all 3, you could've gotten all 3 for $82 shipped.

I found the Beast Mode Optimus yesterday. a lot like Bee, he is limited to basically head and arm articulation, and at least to me, his "beast mode" isn't as charming as Bees. Bit I still like him, he's got some real presence to him, and I like the armored military truck mode.



It's also kinda fun to see how this list from a few weeks ago has clicked down. Since I posted it, I have gotten the smash changer Scourge, Beast Mode Prime, and Wheeljack. And the Scourge's victim's 3 pack will soon be mine as well hopefully

I have been messing with Beast Mode Optimus Prime, and I do have to say, I like him. He is properly big and beefy, and I like his design. His alt mode is also really beefy and awesome, and they did great with his sword.

I also added some photos of the whole Wave 1 of Yolopark, as well as my entire RotB toyline cast. I have really enjoyed the line, and I really hope i can get the last 7 figures from the line.

So im here at GenCon and they have the Bb Yolopark Optimus Prime on display. Thought I'd share.

Sparkling Ice for scale. Man, that thing's huge!

(edit) Just noticed it says 62cm on the placard, that's 2 feet!
(edit again) Just saw the price tag... $2600 for the regular and $3000 for the deluxe.

Yeah, I already have my own 2-foot tall non-transforming Optimus Prime, and he's the only one I need.

I came so close to buying one of those when they were on clearance at Walmart. So, so very close.

He functions well as both an articulated statue and a playset for smaller figures.

I know we what it was before I even clicked the link haha

So, has anyone seen the Mainline Deluxes for individual sale in the US, or are they exclusive to the 3-packs here?

Don't hold me to this but I heard that the mainline deluxes were pulled by Target to be released later on in a new, exclusive, kid friendly Studio Series line.

Ig89ninja wrote:So, has anyone seen the Mainline Deluxes for individual sale in the US, or are they exclusive to the 3-packs here?

No, they have not been released individually in the US. They did land in ports and were sent to Target, but Target never stocked them in stores.

Beast Combiner Scourge has been found at both Target and Walmart in the US and Toysrus in Canada. Beast Mode Optimus Prime has been found for weeks now at Walmart but we never posted a review. So we have one below in case you see the toy at your local store and want to know more about it. Speaking of reviews we didn't post, we also included one for the large simplified Optimus Primal that was released from Takara last month just in case you are curious and want to know as much as possible before getting him (in terms of scale and complexity for instance).

I finally found the Scorponok and Sandspear two-pack at Target. Sandspear is disappointing as a weapon, but he's still a fun little scorpion guy. Hopefully the Primal and Airazor battle masters hit retail soon.

BBTS let me know that the Takara Primal is about to come in stock.

I really hope I find beast combiner Scourge. I want to finish the line. I also hope this means battle master airazor, battle changer Scourge, beast weaponizer Arcee, Beast combiner Optimus, and the Autobots unite show up very soon.

Do we know why or is it just one of those mysteries of collecting?
