The user who submitted this is attuned with the market and said that the street date was applicable:
The first Last Knight figures have arrived at German retail. Apparently someone broke the street date.

Didn't know this, but the helmet is removable. That's really cool!

I hope toyhax gets some stickers for the missing flames on the chest and such quickly!

You dont want to wait to see if they will release one with a better deco? And by better deco I mean one that has flames on the chest and doesnt look like he is an anime character crying.

And how much would that cost? Would it be part of some expensive Platinum box set of figures? Or a Takara figure that would add much more cost for shipping? I'm not made of money. Or employed. And unlikely to be in the foreseeable future cos health stuffs. I can't afford all the super pretty toys. I often just have to make do with what I can afford and do my best to pretty them up myself. And this Prime toy has a great mold and decent colours for the most part and I can have fun pimping it up.
I still prefer my custom AoE Evasion Prime over any of the official ones I've seen and the factory version of that was way worse looking than this Last Knight Prime in paint and colouring.

As I tell Black that, if you have the skills and plan on doing touch ups then you are always better off getting the less expensive version.
And, sadly, the takara version is not better than this one. they are the same toys (as is the rest of this entire line) so a better version would have to come from a boxset of some kind. it will be hard for me, but I plan on waiting to get a good idea of what will be offered. Since I dont do touch ups and dont want more than one of this mold, I really want to know what all the options are before I buy it because nothing pains me more than buying a toy only to find out that a better version is released not too long after.

Problem is you cant import that Prime from takara.

Wait, what? How come? Is that the same for all TLK toys?

Well I'm certainly not highly skilled at customising and wouldn't make any money selling custom figures I've done but I like having a go at improving figures where the lack of apps annoy me enough and I enjoy it.
This be my custom AoE Evasion Prime I did all myself and the flames are from toyhax and I think it turned out well despite my amateur skills.
Still could never make up my mind whether to paint both side of his shoulder thingys silver or leave it as I've done here where the outside is silver and inside is red (cos the inside forms the lower bit of the red truck). I notice the much improved 10th anniversary one has both sides silver from the pics I've seen so maybe I'll do that too.
But yeah overall I was happy with this and eager to take a shot at the Lask Knight figure.
My photography skills are also very lacking...

No, just Optimus, he is a TRU exclusive in japan, so its impossible to import him
http://www.toysrus.co.jp/s/dsg-57473760 ... tab-01-tab
The only way to get him is to buy him from someone who bought him at TRU, but that wont happen since its the same toy so why bother?
Megatron Wolf wrote:$30 for a voyger yeah you can count me out, i have a hard time justifying $25 for one $30 is ridiculous. Hopefully this is just because its "premier edition" or what ever its called, similar to how prime had those really expensive 1st edition figures before the main line was out. But if its not & this is the new price point i guarantee a lot of people will be jumping ship, i know i will.
These arent the same as 1st edition toys, it was explained a little while back. Its just the name the more "complex" toys are given to distinguish them from the others. they did that last time too with AOE by calling the deluxes, voyagers and leaders "generations". but that was confusing since there was another generations line at the same time. So this time they are calling those "premier edition" instead of Generations, but its the same thing. Doesnt mean they have more paint apps or whatever, and many are toys we already got in AOE.
So no, its not just for select toys, every single voyager in the Last Knight toyline has a price of $30.
It is the MSRP given by hasbro at toy fair back in february:
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT PREMIER EDITION VOYAGER CLASS FIGURE Assortment
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99/Available: Spring 2017)
here's the MSRP for the other classes in case people didnt know:
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT PREMIER EDITION DELUXE CLASS FIGURE Assortment
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2017)
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT — KNIGHT ARMOR TURBO CHANGER FIGURE Assortment
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2017)
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT 1-STEP TURBO CHANGER FIGURES Assortment
(Ages 5 and up/Approx. Retail Price: $9.99/Available: Spring 2017)
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT LEGION CLASS FIGURES Assortment
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $6.99/Available: Spring 2017)
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT PREMIER EDITION LEADER CLASS Assortment
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available: Fall 2017)
Thats right, leaders are now $50 and Deluxes are $20. Not a TRU markup, just the straight up MSRP given by Hasbro.

Mine too, the only reason my photos get front paged is because no one else cares to connect all the TR bases together to see what that looks like

The metallic blue and silver paint really shines bright. Backpack isnt overly bulky. Slot in back for sword storage is nice. I highly recommend this figure to any collector.

Ah yes, my first Last Knight figure and it's, ok. Berserker is a cool looking robot, with a sleek SUV vehicle mode, and a transformation that's a fiddly mess that's well north of frustrating. With time it can be manageable but I would recommend buying another of the Premier Edition figures first.

So as much as I like the look of Megs - I don't think I have a desperate need to pay a premium for any Movie toys - they shouldn't be as rare to get this time since they have not done something idiotic and made the whole line a TRU exclusive this time.
One-step are ALWAYS reduced to £5.00 so I just have to be patient with those. I may have to put paying about £12.00 for them (which is what is typical for a sale Price for a Titans Return Deluxe - I expect Voyagers will be mainly in eBay / TRU and a few other online places - I can only see medium sized Supermarkets getting them if they come in a card display.
I'm happy to be patient as Wave 1 is pretty repaint heavy (especially the Legions and Deluxes) One step are hardly essential buys - But I'm not going to pay £8.00 for a legion repaint so - I'll be ignoring them until they are something like £4 or £5 and even then I'll likely ignore the Bee & Grimlock repaint entirely until they go even lower in price.
I barely own any AOE toys at all I just bought the ones that interested me - I don't even have the Dinobots for example (in normal colour or any of the repaints) The only reason I didn't get the dinobots was I couldn't find them. They show up a lot on eBay though - but to be honest I'm tempted to leave them for Carbootsale finds maybe buy a cheap Platinum gift set and collect the new ones in the muted colours - I know some people will despise the blandness of the sea of grey - but I kinda like the consistency of it.
I will likely still get the Wei Jiang over-size ones - but not until I'm certain I can get a matched set of most of them.
