It just seems like an ass load of money for a repaint. At least with buster-prime you get a gun and a superior paint job (with pin stripes!) that is a fraction of the cost of this one.

No thanks.

I feel the same way. As much as I love the look, I passed on this figure due to the pricing. The exclusivity factor means nothing to me so I can't justify the cost.

It's not as expensive as you think. Buster Prime is $90 + 10 is about $100. My wife gets a Blu-ray DVD + an exclusive repaint of Optimus Prime for $167. Yeah, if I did not try to order it from Amazon Japan, and went through BBTS, then it's really expensive compared to Buster Prime and even the two pack for that matter.

While I may get Buster Prime next year, this repaint is damn nice. I'm impressed with how fast I got the item, probably faster than it should have been. Also, factor in the US Dollar is still not as strong, for if it had been, the price would have been much cheaper.

Hehe, I passed on Buster OP too. I pre-ordered it near the end of summer but then cancelled it a few weeks later. If I didn't already have the normal RotF Leader OP, I would have kept the pre-order.

The Amazon exclusive repaint's not a bad price considering the going rate for Buster OP and like you said, you're also buying the Blu-Ray DVD. I just don't feel like a better paint job and a gun or different colour scheme is worth an extra $50 or more. If I cared about exclusivity, it would be a different story!

This toy is excellent. Got mine early in the week and have to say I absolutely am overjoyed to add this to my black exclusives and variants collection. It's a great toy to begin with, but with these new colors, it looks even better! B-)

Black Exclusives are ALWAYS the exception RD, always... Everyone has their 'can't do without them' and toys covered in black paint and plastic seem to be mine.

I felt the same way. I may have passed on it, but my obsession with the "Nemesi" has spilled over to the wifey. When we saw this back in October, my wife looked sad that we may not be able to get it. She is a big fan of the movie franchise, and I guess she wanted her own set of figures. The cool thing is with her, it will never be opened. So I know it will be here for a long time.

Remember the Black version of ROTF Optimus Prime that came packaged with the ROTF DVD or ROTF Blu-Ray, exclusive to Amazon Japan last year?

Shipped to the states, each version ended up costing around $155 US.

Well, Seibertron.com member 47ronin remembers, and let us know that both versions have been deeply discounted:

Blu-Ray Version

Image
DVD Version

With the current exchange rate, each set is will run around $110 shipped to the US.

Seibertron.com is your number one news source!

Sucks I overpaid...... :-(

That's cool because if you get this Prime and Jetfire, you get one uniform combination.

this was a great repaint color scheme for an already awesome mold, & i'd've ordered one except for all that damned gray plastic (peeve-- pearl gray plastic is no substitute for silver/chrome)... if they gave the black version the buster-prime chrome treatment, i'd probably have ordered it at almost any price...

Are you planning to order it using a debit or credit card to order? If so, call your bank/card issuer.

Internet exchange sites use stock exchange rates, but that's not always the same as what each financial institution uses(ie., my bank is generally about .034 cents or so different than what XE gives as exchange rate).

hmm, i'm wondering how low the price can go?
the price constantly reduce by 2.5% against previous day (or 2 days)
lowest price back in july 2010 is around JPY 5062.

My target JPY 5100, hopefully they further reduce it to that level.
