There has been recent discussion into whatever happened to Platinum Edition Year of the Rooster Optimus Prime. Well, he is simply one of those exclusive toys that no retailer in the US chose to pick up and thus was never made available there. However, he was available on Walmart.ca but at the very high price of $160 CAD. Now, Walmart has put him on
clearance at $98 (about $80 USD), which is a 40% clearance.
This is a reissue of THS-02 Hybrid Style G1 Convoy, who was originally available for around $70 USD from importers, back in 2006. He is roughly the size of a Scout sized figure but with the complexity of the first Masterpiece Optimus Prime. This Year of the Rooster edition is the very first Hasbro release of this toy.
This is not the only toy to ow go on clearance on the website.
Combiner Wars G2 Superion is also now being liquidated, for $88 CAD.
