Hooray, the OP repaint/remold everyone wanted in a likely cost-prohibitive set that no one will buy!
That said, these decos look really great compared to the originals. If I was collecting AoE and was lucky enough to have NOT already picked these characters up, this would be a must-buy.

You kiddin'? This set is the reason I haven'y yet gone out and bought they five figures yet.kirbenvost wrote:Sorry to be another negative nancy, but...

BBTS is one vendor. The other one its shared with still isn't yet known.

I thought it was BBTS/TRU for the 5-pack of premium decos?

It seems the Autobots are getting preferential treatment with all the releases. The Breakout Battle is another to look out for, as it has the "rusty" Prime as seen in the movie. So far, Lockdown and Galvatron are on their own without any repaints, and with none announced that'll remain the case. The Leader versions are worth looking into at the very least, but avoid the First Edition! Keep in mind that Optimus Prime will get show-accurate retooling done by TakaraTomy, and that both are available in a 2-pack, with Grimlock in black.
