£34.90 inc postage at xybertoys, considering you are getting a voyager and a deluxe thats not bad. Mind you I wish they'd release skywarp seperately too - he's so purty.

I'm an Ultra Magnus fan. I detest Hasbro's constant repainting of Prime white and slapping the Ultra Magnus name on it. There is nothing Ultra about it, to me Ultra Magnus is Magnus combined with his trailer.
If they'd simply called him Magnus I might be more accepting.

I have no problem with the toy being a repaint of Optimus Prime, since that's what is ALWAYS was (except for RiD and Energon, and Classics is NOT about RiD or Energon!) The problem with both this guy and Optimus is they lack trailers at all. They both could REALLY use trailers. I'd love if they released similar trailers for both, one looking like Powermaster Optimus's trailer and one like Ultra Magnus's trailer. Sadly, the biggest oversight on the toy - no trailer hook tab!
I think this comes down to the people who collected toys more in 1986 vs. those who watched the TV show more. I still come across people who find a "white Optimus Prime" toy and think it's weird, why is Optimus white? It's Magnus! They never saw Magnus as anything else if they didn't follow the toys.
