Interesting, though I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd rather they dove back into the old molds and used the *real* G1 Prime (oh my god! Windy's advocating for G1! It's the APOCALYPSE!). Might not be up to par with today's stuff, but hey, they reissued Soundwave for Classics...

And yeah... FAB Optimus... why? Woulda been cooler if it was one of the better looking Movie Primes, like the Voyager, but that would probably jack the prices up and the sizes would be vastly different. Ah well.

Well since Target is getting quite a few exclusive I would say this may be a Wal-Mart excluive since there is also no Target sticker on the package.

I love the packaging, it'd make for a great display.

That's not 1894 Prime, it's a 2006 homage to 1984 Prime.

The guy who originally posted it suggested keeping it as a misb display piece and i kinda agree with that, the package looks nifty, and it is a nice concept-but they ccould have used better figures

on the plus side we now know exactly how tall the fab are!

Paaaaas!

Ninja Sixshot has it right: They should have used G1 Prime, not Classics UB Prime, which I already have.

That, and I can't stand that version of Movie Prime. The head's alot better than Voyager version, but based on what I've seen Voyager version's a better version than either figure in this set.

It's something like this that makes me wonder where the line is that I plan on drawing with movie merchandise. I think I no longer need to wonder. The line has been drawn.

Since I already have the classics Prime and I can pick up the FAB Prime I see no reason to get this set unless it comes with a DVD that has some really cool stuff on it.

Comment by Zeedust Apr 20, 2007
Bah...

I'd care more if one of them at least got repainted...

And that's hardly a 1984 Prime.

I'll only buy this if the price is pretty close to FAB Prime by itself. Otherwise, I'll pass as I already have that Classics Prime.
