We've been dropped an e-mail that TakaraTomy's retooling/repaint of Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime and Jetfire 2 Pack has hit Australian retail.

This two pack is supposedly the same as the Japanese release which means this version will not come with the new Optimus head but it will still come with all the shiny paint and the extra gun. The set was sighted at K-Mart in Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Victoria and retails for AUD 150, approximately USD 125.72.

And just for reference:

Awesome!

That may mean I'll have more chance of getting it!

Can anyone tell me if Jetfire's voice chip has changed? Does he still have the soft-Scottish voice, because I really want him with the powerful and awesome English film-voice! :grin:

I thik it's pretty funny how the Japanese exclusive 2 pack costs $133.97, while the original Buster Prime, also a Japanese exlusive, costs $129.95... The main difference? The original comes with a new head and spiffy paint job. The 2 pack has the same paint job, but the regular head, and it comes with Jetfire...

Hmmm... $130 for a single figure, or $134 for 2 leader class figures... Does Jetfire really suck that much?

In all seriousness, I prefer the 2 pack, just for the fact that I'm not a big fan of the faceplate-less Optimus, and that means I can get Buster Prime without having to worry about switching heads... Pure Awesomesause right there...

Buster Prime originally cost around $90 or even less.

Granted, but if you wanted to buy them right now, that's what anyone would be paying... I just think it's ridiculous that the one leader class toy, costs almost as much as the same toy, packaged with another leader class toy...
