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?

I'm pretty sure this version of Prime is remolded so that it can hold the Jetwing backpack, so you're going to need this version.

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.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
