We just got word from Lewis M. Brooks of A World Transformed that he found and purchased DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime at Newbury Comics in Burlington, MA. Images of his purchase and receipt can be seen below.

So what is the actual Prime figure? The ROTF leader figure, a new mold?

It's a new mold. Without the armor, he is nowhere near as detailed as the ROTF Leader Prime.

Man $89 is alot to pay for a butterfly winged prime.. This'll ride the shelf for awhile, that price will keep alot of folks away...

That thing is so atrocious. If the price doesn't drop like the 25th G1 prime i will be surprised. He was supposed to be $70 and I remember finding it for under $30 at JC Penny. The pic makes him look anorexic.

You're lucky. That's under half of what we'd have to pay in Norway.

The saddest thing is that $89 is regular retail for Leaders here in Australia... And our dollar is worth more!

Wow nice..

Wow only 6.25% sales tax?

News Credits: 1 · by **dirk2243** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:13 am

I believe I've seen him on BBTS.com for that same price.

by **noctorro** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 3:41 pm

I will get him, I allready own Buster Prime second version so I won't need the Wing Minigun abbs Takara Prime. And I actually like a simple transformation Leader Prime. Hopefully we'll get Leader Megatron and Leader Shockwave as well. I think it's a bit odd they start with voyager sized "main" characters.
Leader Ironhide and Bumblebee riddle me to this day...

UGH.

I can't like this thing, no matter how much I try.

I don't mind the vehicle mode and I really like the Mechtech weapon, but the robot modes are just trash to me.

If Jetwing Optimus comes here, or the import goes on sale for a reasonable price, I might bite. This just doesn't do it for me, and until something changes...the Cyberverse trailer n' fig will have to do. (Not a complaint, mind you. A really nice figure set for $15.00...)

Would importing help keep the costs low? If so, I'm sure a member would be willing to help you.

That sounds like opportunists taking advantage. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a screw job and it's not fair.

joevill wrote:Wow only 6.25% sales tax?

6% here in PA. I know some states are even lower. If I remember correctly, Idaho doesn't even have sales tax. We also have no sales tax on clothing or food. Fast food does, but that's because we're paying for the service, not the item.

EDIT: I was incorrect about Idaho. Alaska, and a few others (some will surprise you), has no sales tax. You can see the eye opening list that I googled, here: http://www.money-zine.com/Financial-Pla ... Tax-Rates/

Damn! $89 no way! Hasbro jacked up the price

by **starscreamreturns** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 7:38 pm

100% not buying the rotf leader optimus is the greatest movie optimus ever! And i can't afford this the most i've ever payed for a toy is $100 for marvel legends deadpool.

With DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime being found at retail it's only natural that the reviews would soon follow. The figure carries a high price tag, hopefully these videos will help decide if you want to lay down your hard earned cash on this guy. The first video showcases his robot mode, the second focuses on transformation.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna need a bigger shelf if I'm getting this guy... :shock:

No, From what I see it was bought at a comic store. They will add a little extra just for that alone. I talked to a guy who worked there a few months back about DOTM line and his was arriving in the middle of April. The prices were a little higher then what you find at walmart, target, and TRU. but people will buy it to be some of the first.

Not that they were that much higher, but a few bucks here and there adds up on there end.

Kick ass, I'll definitely save up for this after my Wave 3 collection is complete. Wave 4 isn't going to be out for a while, so yeah

News Credits: 4 · by **_I_Am_Megatron_** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:44 pm

PASS, he should be alot bigger in robot mode, at least 1 1/2 the size of Leader Prime, and even bigger with the suit on.

I still think we need a HA Prime.

News Credits: 1 · by **dirk2243** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:44 pm

What gets me is that it's not even able to hold anything in trailer mode. Couldn't even hold one deluxe or scout vehicle. Blah. (although, yes I am getting one)
