    NOPE-temus Amazon Prime.

    Seriously, this is so full of un-win, it\'s shocking.  I have the original, chromed Takara version, in perfect condition and I\'ll be selling THAT once TT make a decent, chrome and metallic MP film Optimus.

    I reccomend waiting for this to inevitably fall to bargain-bucket prices, even in Japan, for anyone desperate or foolish enough to want to buy this.

    So now, just like the MPM, looks like they're hoping that we all forget that Optimus had gold under the flames at the front of the hood.

    Since I missed out on buying any toys from the 07 line. This is a definite buy for me. Plus I prefer this alt mode and the one from ROTF above all others.

    I have the 2007 Movie Prime, still in decent condition, and aside from the lack of chrome, I think I prefer it's color-deco to this re-issue version. Besides the questions of price & availability, I'd like to know if it will have updated sfx.

    Will it have Peter Cullen voice-clips or at least the G1 transformation sound? That would sway me a bit.

    I love it! I have the mpm-4, ROTF, Movie Best MB-11, movie 1 Ldr (this), movie 1 Premium, all sealed and loose in box. And I STILL want this. I like Takara/TakaraTomy's Optimus Primes they put a lot of heart into them!

    Woah really? I have movie 1 in spades! Sealed loose mint in box, cased, doubles triples ect you name it out of all the lines I collect in full thay one is the most heavy! I been saving them for 10 years I been saving them til they worth something substantial


    This is gonna sell out before it's in "bargain buckets" aka "bins", in japan it's Optimus Prime it's TakaraTomy, and it looks good. I'm sure it will b4 easy to get for a week.

    I don't agree. The film versions of toys are not so popular, from my observations here. There is usually plenty of stock, or not that much stock to begin with in regular shops. I have a feeling that it was dumped at Amazon Japan because it wasn't wanted by the main retailers.

    Now Japan-centric Japanese characters/lines, on the other hand, they sell like hot cakes. Take the core G1 Legends Headmasters, for example...

    Why would it have Peter Cullen's voice in a JAPANESE release, pray tell?

    Was it though? You had Stinger, Despensor and Armor Knight Prime, but the majority of the line had just teeny-tiny deco changes if any changes at all unless they were exclusives.

    Movie lines in Japan are rarely much different from Hasbro lines. Every movie has one or two stand out exceptions, such as Buster Prime for ROTF, Jetwing Prime for DOTM, Armor Knight Prime for AOE and Calibre Prime for TLK, but the majority of the figures are identical.

    i had to reply to this.
    AOE was definitely a huge improvement going from hasbro to takara. Their leader primes from AOE stood out, but even regular releases like Crosshairs, Evasion Prime and Evasion Bee all got big differences. I count having painted black legs as opposed to unpainted yellow legs on the Evasion Bee as a big difference. All their Dinobots were also in metallic colours instead of the dull flat colours. I wouldnt call them tenny tiny changes....

    I'll give you Evasion Bumblebee (and Galvatron was pretty good too) but the Dinobots' changes were fairly minimum and for Drift and Crosshairs you had to wait for the Platinum Autobots Unite set to actually get movie-accurate versions... and Evasion Optimus only JUST got a definitive version in the Movie The Best line!

    Well considering your from Japan you probably know better then me lol. :)  I also didn't realize, until just now, that it was a online exclusive. That can change things to something I'm not aware of. I've never been on Amazon Japan I actually thought it was a store. Huh.

    Why would it have electronic voices anyway? Correct if I'm wrong, the most you get with this toy is the horn honking in truck mode. Or revving engine. one of the 2, I thinkbut no voice.

    if only that classic camero mold from the 07 movie was the metallic yellow version with that premium quality deco. I'll never forgot those translucent blue windows on it.

    Might be a hard sell in Japan, since the original Takara releases of both the 1976 and 1967 Bees were better.
