Just to confirm, that this is a CHINESE/Hong Kong based product, so the price is in Chinese Yuuan, not Japanese Yen (as they share similar symbols).

Thus:

1080 Chinese Yuan equals 161.89 US Dollars.

We have some new images and information from Soap Studios via their Weibo account, featuring some colour versions of their vinyl statues of Starscream and Megatron (in Dan Khanna's G1 style) - as had already been the case for Optimus Prime - plus teasers for Reflector and Bumblebee. Check it all out below.
