I kinda want that Orion repaint but I don't need a second Linebacker Prime. Is the WfC OP deco any different?

MaverickPrime, think you can give us the product code for this? It should be where the bar code is on the box.

Is this set going to be sold in stores? Or just online retailers?

Is this a good store to get it from for a Canadian like myself?

I don't really agree.
Ok, it's absolutely not screen accurate. At all.
But it's his only issue. As a toy, it's a good toy, from the ratchet joints era, which doesn't feel hollow at all etc.
It's not like it's the first time we get a good toy not screen accurate.

Why?
He's not 100% screen accurate sure but he's a decent toy for what he was back in 2007.
Maybe not $89.90 decent but still well worth a regular purchase. $40 to $50 bucks worth easily.

That Leader Prime is the only Movie Prime I own (well, OK, I have EMOP, but...) and while I'm not a movie fan, I adore that toy. It is a cool symbol of the switch in design from the Cybertron line to the first movie toys. It's design carry's over so many things that make the Cybertron toys great toys.
It may not seem great to the die hard movie fans, but if you are a fan of how well designed toys are made, it's a magnificent toy.

You have to deal with the exchange and duty fees and the very expensive shipping so far were you I would wait to see if some Asian eBay stores have this instead. That was the best way to get some of the platinum sets.

I agree completely. Also, RUBBER TIRES!
I own the Premium version so I've no need for that one. Still, anyone who is not rigid in their TF collecting habits and want some oddballs here and there, that leader OP is a solid purchase.

I've got an entire shelf of oddballs, might as well add another

Still, THAT particular edition is a clear luxury. The original can be found for cheap and even the shinier Premium version is reasonably priced.

I still really like the Takara/Argos Nightwatch Prime - so I'm not averse to that mould overall. It's a better toy than the Protoform is anyway.

I'm currently on the same state as the reviewer after this vid.
I planned to resell the WFC prime as I already have the original, but damn, it looks so damn good in this video.. I'll probably keep it.

That tribute leader prime. I wish it had the sword too, and I agree it is a great mold. I absolutely love it.
