I got me some shiney new Optimus Primal and Megatron from Toys R Us in Oceanside. I'm so glad I went there and bought them despite the fact the packaging was torn because the one closer to where I actully live doesn't have them.
They look alot more show accurate than the originals with their new paint jobs and slight remolding. And these are their original BW forms not the Cybertron versions of them that look more robotic.
The paint does look a bit metalic/glossed/shiney whatever you wanna call it so their beast modes don't look really accurate but they look alot better than the originals.
Megatron's beast head has an actual eye now where originally it was a solid red color. Primal's beast face was remolded. It had to be made so it'd still fit flat on his chest in robot mode so it looks a little funny to me but he's actully looking forward now when you place him on all 4s rather than looking at his hands like the original did.
Mostly I'm just happy I finally got these figures with all their parts included. Optimus has his swords, mace, missles, and "butt flaps" that hold his gun down in beast mode. All of these things are missing from my original that I got off e-bay. Megatron allso has a robot head, his squirt gun (which is by far the grossest weapon I've ever seen.), the square chest flap to cover that hole in beast mode, and his missles. All of these items were allso missing from the ones I got off e-bay.
My e-bay figures allso didn't come with instructions these did. Of course they transform the same way but sence all thoughs parts were missing from my originals I didn't know what to do with them. I had to look at the instructions to find out where the missles and swords stored in beast mode. Never noticed thoughs holes there before I knew what they were for.
Anyway the old figures with the missing parts, if anyone perhaps wants to do a kitbash with them and wants them I'll sell them to you fairly cheap. Like whatever you wanna pay.
Honestly I don't think they're worth anything but I could use some extra cash so I'm not going to set a price I'm just going to give them to anyone who wants them and hope I can make some money off the deal.
Remember they're the original Optimus Primal and Megatrons. They're missing parts Optimus is allso missing his mutant face which I didn't list above sence the new figures don't even have them.
If you want these old figures, asides from the missing parts what's left of them are still in good condition. Just make an offer in this topic. Doesn't have to be a cash offer allthough it'll help me if it is.
I'll leave this offer up till the new movie comes out on DVD. If there are no cash bids by then I'll send them to whoever asked for them first for free. You just pay for shipping and handleing.
I allso mentioned the box the new toys came in was torn and smashed a bit. Well the episode "Possesion" was attached to the box. I haven't checked it yet to see if it works but if you place a money bid on the old toys of at least $15 I'll send the DVD with them... that is if it's working I still gotta check on that.
So you have a chance to get the original Optimus Primal and Megatron with missing parts but in otherwise good condition and the episode "Possession" from the BW series on DVD.
You will not get the new figures I just bought, thoughs are mine.
Just wanna make sure that's perfectly clear.
I'll let you know about the condition of the DVD once I get a chance to look at it better. Till then just leave a post saying you want the DVD and place a bid of $15 or more, your bid will be ignored if I find out the DVD doesn't even work.
I'll keep you updated on this and have pictures posted in here later of the figures and DVD. I'm not sure when I'll have pictures, I'm still unpacking from being back from vacation and I got other things I need to do, (like go see my family and friends who I haven't seen all week.) so please give me some time to get my head screwed on straight.
