On BBTS I cancelled my pepsi convoy order for a Optimus primal complete. So was this move bad or good?

For me, it would depend on which Primal. The orignal ape Primal would get my blessing. but then again, I am biased due to being a diehard Beast Wars fan. But in the long run, Pepsi Convoy seems to be readily available on many sites, so down the road you could possibly own both.

Well I suppose it might be good im buying something older and A bit cheaper 40.00 Bucks Whoo!

You do realize that you can get a brand new show accurate one along with a Megatron for half the price now....Right?

Any place that still has the twopack in stock. TRU, Target, Walmart etc. That is. If you live in the US.

That two-pack is a Toys 'R' Us exclusive and it's $40. I keep hoping it'll go on clearence soon since all the TRUs in my area have at least five of them.

Much Better. The bot mode heads are srecultped to be much more show accurate. The same can be said for the new paint jobs. Primal's beast mode head has also been rescultpted to emulate his show appearance as well. These guys were my favorite purchase for a good long time. They really are much nicer than the original versions IMO. If you dig BW, these are the figures no fan of that era should be without.

There's a one per case variant that comes to life at night once every full moon. 8-}

Hmm...

and I thought I had trouble - I just got rid of my MP-01 Convoy from my Pile of Loot and replaced it with Titanium Rodimus, Megatron, BWNEO Deadend, BW Transquito, BWII Shadowpanther and BWII Buzzsaw.... that went into a cart which already had Titanium Magnus and Titanium RID Prime in it...

All in all I have little doubt I did the right thing.

I would say it was a bad idea. Pepsi Convoy is a fantastic centerpiece to any room as it hand hold a beverage where as most toys can't

I also can't stand monkey primes, so I may be a touched biased.

The Toy's Rus Reissue of Optimus Primal and Megatron, i have spotted in a topic long ago that the Megatron had a producton error in hes waist if im right? Does he still have this production error or can we finally order af full function one?

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2007 12:40 pm**

I believe the 'error' was the lack of a ratcheting waist, so the reissue Megs spins around freely, while the original 'clicks' into place and stays there...

While I haven't owned the original BW Megs, I wouldn't have known that something was 'wrong' with the figure otherwise...

Yeah I got a lemon Megatron. :sad:

Still, the two pack is worth it just for Optimus Primal alone.

I got the Takara Reissue - much nicer box and non lemon Megatron are worth the double price.
