It's more or less the lighting of the environment it's in.

It's retail... but we just don't know where it will be retail in, other than Asia.

Do we even know if it'll be even released in Canada? I remember Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme being spotted in Canadian retail, but very rarely, if I remember correctly.

Charge an additional SDCC Bruticus, and you should be all set. I could go for that actually, if only I was in Canada.

I suspect we may see TrU carrying these just as we did the GDO figures, but I could be wrong.

I live in Canada too, so this one will probably turn up at retail. So far I've seen a ton of Platinum Edition Optimus, and Magnus toys. I'm guessing that the ones over $100 aren't gonna show up though e.g. Omega and Predaking. So far I'm loving the Platinum Edition line I hope Hasbro makes more

So far all have shown up here. UM seems to have sold well only because he was 50% off during recent midyear sales.

Omega hasn't been released and both OP and UM are shelfwarmers.
