$196 for that Prime and Sideswipe? Grim.

Even at the jacked-up prices of Times Square TRU, those are ridiculously overpriced.

Well, this could be a somewhat fine set to own. But 200$?! Ouch...
Also, 130$ for that OP and Grimlock set?! Urgh...

Honestly, those sets could be nice for someone who don't already have ANY of those molds. Still, prmium prices are premium. For the price of that Optimus set, why not going for a proper MP-10 for roughly the same price?

Toysrus.com has had the Grimlock and Optimus Prime set for weeks now. It's been going down in price the entire time and is currently at $98.99. The Optimus Prime and Sideswipe set is new though and is listed at $169.99 online. The trailer two pack is still way overpriced but at least the leader two pack is slowly dropping to a more normal price.

Platinum Starscream is steadily dropping in price as well. It's $79.99 at the moment. I bought my Cybertron Starscream for $25 on clearance shortly after it's original release. So the platinum version is severely overpriced to me, especially when it was marked as $130. They really are going crazy with the pricing for platinum releases lately. The first few seemed to be decently priced or at least you were getting retooled parts and many more paint apps than the original releases. Now the pricing for what little, if any, extra you're getting is sickening.

The thing is seemingly priced as if everything was purchased separately but bundled together, and omitting the actual MP Prime, lol.

I've recreated this set with toys I already own, Trans Scanning Silver Knight Prime:

prime and trailer.JPG

If you wanted the entire look and bought everything separate it would cost about the same that they are selling it for.. only it's got an exclusive paint job, and you don't get MP Prime, just the trailer.
People are gonna want that trailer though.

That is HOT!

Well, not hot enough for me to buy a AoE 1st ed OP. Especially because I already own the Hasbro leader and AD-31 is comming.
I also already own a MP-10 (Hasbro) so I wont buy the YOTH version either.

Still, anyone who what these 3 components, a AoE 1st Ed OP, a YOTH OP trailer, and a "scanned" DOTM bot, they should do this display. That's just amazing looking!

Thanks man, it does look pretty good.

I almost get the idea it was a easter egg set because all the components have close to the same Allspark blue components. Silver Knight's sword and shield match up to the blue on Sideswipe and the trailer.
Also, aside from Sideswipe, Prime and the trailer are Platinum editions too. So, in a way, there are two Platinum editions of this set.

Here is another shot:

Overquoting to say that you should keep this display. It's awesome!

As for the lone Platinum MP-10, he can be a stand alone figure on the MP-shelf, without having a bizzare clear trailer looking out of place.

I have a small appartment too and too many TFs to count. That's why, with my recent move, I had to make some sacrefices and put the less important ones in storage. I'll display only my favorites and newest ones. The rest I wont sell, but I pack tightly and neatly into some boxes.

A great display is so satisfying!

very interesting that it comes with an MP10 trailer, but in no way is this set worth 200 bucks.

I kno all about putting them in storage, and am currently in the process of bringing them home.. but I can't stand having them and looking at totes knowing what's inside

I'd rather be looking at this:

Much like the year, the Age Of Extinction toy line is coming to an end. We've seen the finals waves of the Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders, as well as exclusives and even the simplified line for children. Which beings us to the image mirrored below. (Image courtesy of Daim Choc)

The final wave of AoE figures consists of Decepticon Junkheap, a Waste Management garbage truck as well as Vehicon, a toy only transformation of Cemetery Winds sleek dune buggies featured during the farm chase sequence in the film. Last but not least, High Octane Bumblebee, sporring his early film a;t mode and appearance.

These should be hitting retail very soon, what with Combiner Wars due in the not too distant future.

I just found him too (in Montreal, Canada). I noticed you dont insert the extra back plates and neither do I. Not only does it look really wierd when I do but it doesnt peg well at all. Was wondering if your didnt fasten well either.

Also, I did not know about the fake dinosaur head in robot mode, it totally took me by surprise. This makes it probably the most interesting robot mode design from the movie dinobots to me (too bad about the robot arms though).

What I do is to stick the fin/ax-blade part under Snarl's tail/ass. It fill him up, is not too bad looking, and it stay in place very well.

I'll raise you the Dutch one:

- One-Step: Wave 2 of 5, including Lockdown
- Flip & Change: All 3 waves released
- Power Battlers: Wave 1 of 4
- Mega Flip Bumblebee
- Chomp & Stomp Grimlock

- Generations Deluxe: Wave 1 of 3
- Generations Voyager: Wave 1 of 3
- Generations Leader: Released

However, I am expecting The Netherlands to get either the US or Canadian overstock for cheap within a year

I'll try this. Like william-james88, I found that it doesn't snap into place well on his back, and even if it did, it looks awkward.

Overall, though, I'm really happy with the figure. My only complaint with it is the "monkey arms".

I would like to compliment Kanrabat on this great fix. And I did need those pics since I would have thought that you would need to keep the blade attached to the axe handle. But it turns out that the light pressure for the plates to seperate is enough to keep it in place. Now, Kanrabat, would you let me put this in the "things you didnt know your transformer could do " thread or do you want to write it there yourself?

Thanks guys! I don't really deserves any credit because I thought that part was supposed to store this way from the start. Then I looked at the instruction manual and went "wut?"

Also, Will, the trick is already posted in the "Thing your TF can do" thread. I fugured it would be a great place to archive that "fix".

I really went "wut" when I tried to follow the actual instructions, Snarl looked so deformed.

Remember those Dinosparkers? Who could have predicted they would be a total waste. Oh that's right, everyone did. I found a huge lot of them discounted and dispersed all across a random sears liquidation warehouse. They were the only TF toys there. Funny enough, only Drift and Bumblebee are available, I guess the stores sold most of their Optimus toys.

I tought Sears were no longer selling any toys for a while?

Also, what's the point of those Dino Sparkler toys?
Novelty dill does?

Same point as other non-TF "pull-back-and-go" motorized toys like cars and such. Only instead of being cars, they're "steed & rider" jousting toys. With the added bonus of a sparking gimmick.

Continuing in his mission to review all the simplified Age of Extinction figures, fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 has uploaded yet another video, this time for One-Step Changer tiny purplesaur Dinobot Slug! Check it out below.

When first revealed I was curious how Slug would be adapted into the One-Step line since the deluxe toy was rather bulky. Unfortunately the technique of splitting the head and chest open more often than not leads to the legs getting stuck on the back plate resulting in a less than smooth transformation.
