Pictorial review of Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime

Oh and on the $25 vs. $30 US dollars, a sighting was just reported in Texas where the voyagers were $24.99 at a Target

Man, that thing scales perfectly with the AOE figures! I was just going to get the deluxe Bumblebee (the new one, not the AOE repaint), but I may have to get this one too.

Few more scale comparisons...

Oof, those hip joints of his are pretty high up. It makes the thighs look like they connect to the lower body right at the waistline rather than right below the waistline like they ought to.

Argos and Sainsbury's always have a Half Price sale around November, Very have sale often too as does TRU & The Entertainer.

So as much as I like the look of Megs - I don't think I have a desperate need to pay a premium for any Movie toys - they shouldn't be as rare to get this time since they have not done something idiotic and made the whole line a TRU exclusive this time.

One-step are ALWAYS reduced to £5.00 so I just have to be patient with those. I may have to put paying about £12.00 for them (which is what is typical for a sale Price for a Titans Return Deluxe - I expect Voyagers will be mainly in eBay / TRU and a few other online places - I can only see medium sized Supermarkets getting them if they come in a card display.

I'm happy to be patient as Wave 1 is pretty repaint heavy (especially the Legions and Deluxes) One step are hardly essential buys - But I'm not going to pay £8.00 for a legion repaint so - I'll be ignoring them until they are something like £4 or £5 and even then I'll likely ignore the Bee & Grimlock repaint entirely until they go even lower in price.

I barely own any AOE toys at all I just bought the ones that interested me - I don't even have the Dinobots for example (in normal colour or any of the repaints) The only reason I didn't get the dinobots was I couldn't find them. They show up a lot on eBay though - but to be honest I'm tempted to leave them for Carbootsale finds maybe buy a cheap Platinum gift set and collect the new ones in the muted colours - I know some people will despise the blandness of the sea of grey - but I kinda like the consistency of it.

I will likely still get the Wei Jiang over-size ones - but not until I'm certain I can get a matched set of most of them.

Yeah, um, Beserker doesn't look as good or as fun as I had hoped and thought. Might pass on him to get voyager Prime

And I have an oil change coming up in a few hundred miles. Perfect

I need some oil too - shame it's a USA only offer.

-Insert "Va'alvatron" pun here-

I really wish I was at least a little bit adept at photoshop. If I was I could show Unicron reformatting Va'al into Va'alvatron.
