Yeah, if it was 200$, I would consider it, but 269$ is very expensive. Especially if anyone has any of the previous editions of that mold.

APS-01 retailed for $190 over here, so this price isn't unexpected. Disappointing, but not unexpected.

Hopefully a few overseas importers will have this guy for around $200 US.

What the DEUCE!!!?!!! :shock:


That is an APSURD price. I will keep my Jetwing Optimus that I got from TRU for $49.99 during Black Friday 2 years ago...that is my favorite large movie Prime to date. This is a senseless premium reissue. =; =; =;

@megatronous. You say it like you know that's true. Seriously though, if people stop supporting those insane inflated prices, they wouldn't even think about listing it as such. I'm an Optimus Prime completist, but even I think this price is too much. It's a retail edition, not secondary market price. That's too bad. I'll wait.

you think this wont sell out? every other asia premium figure has.

lets all not forget: asia premium series. these figures have always been expensive. so this is nothing new.

The price is disapointing but fair since it would cost more to get everything seperately. There is no waiting for these and secondary market prices always rize on them later. You either get it or you dont. I wont.

Honestly, guys? This price is around what I was expecting it to be. I was hoping it wouldn't be this expensive, but I still knew in my gut that it was gonna be around this much.

I have two of the individual series, just not the stricker shield. I wouldn't pay that price for most of the things I already have. I would however will force myself if the shield is chromed. But I think this set Wil drive down the previous striker Optimus :) yeah. Patiently waiting. :)

As expected, overpriced ! Especially for the mold released many times before .If it had FWI-04 Jetwing upgrade instead of the U.F.O's. Jetwing pack I would consider it.but as it is...... Definitely a pass for me! Unless :-? .....

Perhaps. I sold my APS01 this past weekend for $275, so APS01U is pretty much paid for. :D

Mega high price, for a non-screen accurate DOTM flight tech set.
The third party one's way more accurate. I'm considering getting that since I already own Buster version 2. Which is perfect on its own.

Just wondering, does AMi Ami usually carry these? Because already, robot kingdom is selling him for a more affordable US$229.9.

i think in general, amiami/HLJ/ect dont sell asia premium figures. i didnt see one of them get MP11SW for example. also be wary of RK, they generally have lower prices, but their shipping costs are less than stellar.

Yeah, I've only ever ordered one thing from RobotKingdom, and it was because it was a special deal that had free shipping.

As for why HLJ and Ami Ami wouldn't get the Asia Premiums, those items are for the Asian market outside of Japan, while the two websites are both based in Japan.

It's like how Takara sells TFs in Japan, but not in the rest of Asia, and how the Asian market stuff is for the Southeast Asia region excluding Japan.
