While many collectors turn their nose up at the various simplified figures released for Age Of Extinction, Takara/Tomy have really put in a lot of effort making these same figures interesting for everyone. With premium paint jobs and comically strange commercials to match the Lost Age line really stands out. Stinger makes for a fun desk toy while making one hope for a Deluxe version of the character

Y U NO BUY THE VOYAGER? Or the Leader? Those two are great toys, with tons of details and the articulation and complexity you'll expect from a normal TF.

because those were the only options we have had at my local store, and the only store, in key west
Aside that the couple voyagers we got around time ago were even worst talking about inaccurate colors, poor apps and way overpriced, even hasbro online is dreaming on $99.99 for a set of 2 leader class (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... ck-figures) that are not only poor enginiering but really bad modes. I might wait for further revised releases from takara, for now hasbro has just disappointed me, nothing compared with previous movies, were you got real stuff for less that $9.99 or amazing detailed toys. In few words, I pass from movie toys this year.

I was thinking about just skipping the leader Optimus figure, but I might want to save money for this guy!

Still a bigger Shellformer.
Posted by shajaki on October 15th, 2014 @ 1:27pm CDT
now THATS what im talkin about! this thing is so nice it looks like its a custom job! and yes, total eye candy, but it deverts my eyes from the backpack which is a plus.
someone please tell me that this isnt an exclusive or something? i want it, but since is my second bout with the mold i dont feel like paying crazy money for it. though i probably would.
Posted by Cobotron on October 15th, 2014 @ 1:28pm CDT
I have had no Interest in AOE (toys, movie, etc.) until NOW. That Prime is too sexy. He is SOOO knightly. Hail and well met, Sir Prime.
Now I can overlook the Gundamus Prime look.
Will he be worth the price tag?
Posted by Sabrblade on October 15th, 2014 @ 1:33pm CDT
Don't worry, it should be a mass retail figure.shajaki wrote:someone please tell me that this isnt an exclusive or something? i want it, but since is my second bout with the mold i dont feel like paying crazy money for it. though i probably would.
In Japan.

TFsource already has a preorder up for it (I put one in my Stack a few hours ago):

$80.00
Not bad at all for a import.
Wasn't there a Translucent 2-pack with OP and Grimlock coming from somewhere too?

You're thinking of either:
- Plantinum Series Optimus Prime & Grimlock Voyager 2-pack (with extra chrome)
- Plantinum Series Optimus Prime & Grimlock Leader 2-pack (with more movie-accurate deco)

Ya. I think I'd rather "shell" out the cash on this Prime anyway.

Not even the brilliant Evasion mold? Seem like a waste.
