A while back, a custom prime blade for Movie Optimus Prime (leader or voyager) was posted and discussed.
The ebay auction selling them was charging a ridiculous amount of money for the piece ($70).

I found another ebay seller in hong kong, who only has the silver and orange coloured ones, but he is selling them for $12 each. They seem to be the exact same custom piece that was posted about before but at 1/4 of the cost.

I just bought one.

he has a few left, a great custom piece for Leader Prime.

Glad I could help, the australian seller I mentioned in my earlier post was SEVERLY gouging people for that blade.
I can believe he had the balls to charge $70 each.

$12 is worlds away from what he wanted.
I was thrilled to have stumbled upon these.

As a note, he has the remaining 4 listed all under one ebay auction link so if you use my link, you will have to re sign-in from whomever bought the last one.

WOW, all of them gone within 5 hours of my post!

This guy owes me some royalty cheques! :ic$:

Hopefully he gets more in, he told me he should be getting more colours soon.

Sorry mods, but this is why I miss the C word. Hopefully he wont raise prices... Im sure he is wondering what just happened and why the hits went up so fast..LOL.

Looking at the ebay names- those are almost all Seibertron members.

If you are implying that I did something wrong here I have to disagree.

I saved each one of those Seibertron board members (including you) $50+ on those blades, for no other reason than I wanted to share the discovery of this great custom at a fair price with my fellow posters.

The seller told me he would be getting more, past that I have no part in what he charges. The early bird gets the worm.

No...its a joke. Im glad you posted that. It was a great deal. It goes to show how much power that the C word had.

Pretty cool that actual packaging was designed for it though.
I dig the bubble card design and "PRIME BLADE" box art

Similar to the way the KO mastersword is done. Since you bought Brave Max, I would definately look into it one as the quality is pretty decent.

I saw it a while ago but I tried searching for it today with no luck. Though if the auction doesnt specify delivery to Canada I dont see it.

Thanks, sometime in a US only auction, I can convince the seller to ship up north

Prime Blades have been restocked, guy has 6 more.

Get them while you can, still $12 bucks

I just posted this a few days ago (in the original thread about this piece.. ) when they were $10 and they were all gone within a few hours of me posting it too.

It's like spending for another Deluxe figure, just for a blade accessory.

watch the price plunge, the day OBPP (One Blade Per Prime) would come soon.

Cheers,

Considering that the only other seller that has them on ebay wants $70 each, its a steal.
