well anyone want a trailer for BB optimus, you have an option

Not bad, but I wonder if the G1 trailer could also work

Otherwise...

Huh seems if you get that kreemzeek server error the original posting still goes through good to know for next time

If you are talking to me. You are mistaken that is the Bumblebee movie Optimus. Not siege

Found this today. Now I know what 7-11 is doing

As we previously stated, 7-Eleven Japan revealed a new toy today, on 3/8. It turns out it's a redeco of Legendary Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime in Nemesis Prime colours, with all that lovely teal. It can be preordered now on the 7-Eleven site for 7500 yen plus tax. That is the only place to get it at the moment, so it's only available to Japanese residents. It may show up at site sponsors though (for a premium). The toy will be released September 13th, 2019, in 7-Eleven stores in Japan. You can check out the images below. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

KO Trash-talk aside, this looks pretty cool.

The KO is more expensive though, right? At least more expensive than the original legendary prime.

This is the redeco I was hoping for to justify the figure. Hoping it's not too hard/pricey to get here.

Did you guys get these toys at gas sations in the 80s?

I don't remember seeing them at gas stations, but that doesn't mean much.

Funny story actually. One of my clients has a huge ESSO sign inside there building and I asked about it and apparently the building was an ESSO station originally (a company I've never heard of). On my way to the hotel in Laval, QC I saw an ESSO station. Crazy right?!

EDIT: ESSO is a trading name for ExxonMobil and its related companies.

Slurpees, Transformers and even a history lesson - who woulda thunk it?
