Mine now? No! Mine in August? Yes!

Ouch. That's about $30 more than I predicted.

I have until August though which works.

I really want this figure.

Very expensive figure indeed, that's way I think he deserved the same silver-paint treatment given to Leader Buster Prime. After all, it costs more than the Ultimate DOTM Prime.

I don't think that's the retail price, robofreak. It might...we'll see.

Yeah, the $175 is not retail, but it gets to the price with BBTS having to import it and then take their cut.

I was initially predicting a $140-150 range, but the $175 took me by surprise.

I'm still going to buy it because I know this is probably going to skyrocket later on.

any chance of TT releasing just the MechTech add-on by itself? So I can use it with my Buster Prime or ROTF Prime.

No chance cause that would be logical.

According to a post on tformers.com the MSRP for JetWing Prime is 15540 Yen which at the current exchange is about $190. So we're actually getting a good deal from BBTS?

Damn, I really wanted this dude, but I can't justify paying this much for a third Leader Optimus Prime.
Too bad :/

That would be a bummer, I had planned to put the Jetwing backpack on my Amazon.jp black ROTF Leader Optimus Prime...

I'll be passing on him. Way too much money.
