Is $15 a good price for Optimal Optimus with minor wear?

Im assuming you mean US$15. I would say yes, but I love the figure to pieces, he is huge, and quite hardy too. Make sure you get the missiles though, as well as all the arm guard pieces.

It is kind of strange as much as everyone likes that figure I have never seen it anywhere for more than $25-$30. But depending on what "minor wear" means that could be a great buy if it is complete.

If I remember correctly I think I paid $20 at Botcon 05 for one in mint condition complete no box. Of course I couldn't believe I found RiD Prime and Magnus for $25 each MiB either. TM2 Dinotbot for $7 loose and TM2 Megs with box for $20. Man that was a good day.

This reminds me of when I got Prime and Magnus in a single auction for $40 total including shipping...MISB. Best deal I ever got on that site.

Well if your a fan of the original then yeah its a great deal, as for me, i wanted the up to date look and cartoon accuracy that came with the 10th anniversary reissue.. you can still find it online on Toys r us .com for like 32.00 and some change.. I'd recommend picking that one up if your really interested in optimus Primal.. to me thats the definitive version..

Here is a comparison:

original optimus primal toy as it was originally released:

Reissue Optimus primal with cartoon accuracy coloring and modified chest as well as other neat adjustments:

If He's comlet and hasn't got to much paint chiped of then it's a good deal.

He's still in the box thoe.

Optimal Optimus seems to be a dime a dozen. It's the Beast Machines Primal Prime that's a rare find. I was only able to find a complete/loose one for $45.

I consider it (and the repaint primal primus) a gem in my collection even though the value never got pass $100. I got both version about $60 a piece MISB. Totally worth it.

I loves my Op Op to bits. He's 100% mint loose, and occupies the right-hand side of my top (ala 'cool') shelf. All on his own. Damn he takes up a lot of room. He's knocked Armada Prime to his doom a few times. Don't like sharing does he?
