I am severely tempted by Rooster Cogburn err Optimus. However, I believe there is some resistance to get him because of the alt mode. Bot looks fantastic, especially in such a small package, but I think the truck looks worse than Generations Deluxe Prime (that came with G2 megs way back when...)


I agree that the truck is complete garbage. However, it's basically an (almost) all die-cast Revoltech action figure. For any Legend scale display, it's a must. Plus a flight stand and a possible flight pose could be a good selling point. For 75$US instead of the absurd original price, I think now is the time to strike.

Unfortunately, it's not worth it for this here Canadian, with exchange rates, shipping, and sureshot custom fees.
I'm just waiting for my Walmart.ca to finally put the thing on TRUE clearance, like 50% off.

Oh hey.
If you want that Optimus, you don't live in the USA, and you have to import it anyway, might as well just get the original Takara.
Not too expensive on Mandarake:

A little late to the conversation, but I'm guessing the demise of the YOT line had do with Hasbro Asia. I'm pretty sure these started as a Hasbro Asia initiative, but we haven't seen a Transformers Asia exclusive in years and now that Hasbro proper seems to be importing Takara Tomy Mall's exclusives starting with MP+ Bluestreak and Star Convoy there just isn't any reason to let Hasbro Asia do their own thing anymore. They threw them a bit of a bone with Rooster Prime, but even that was more of a reissue than the crazy repaints we've been accustomed to.
