    Henkei Black Convoy is a must for me. Now I just need to see if I am gonna go down the exclusive road for the Prime series, but I am definitely not adding the Henkei one to my list of "classics" figures that I still need to track down.

    Maybe I missed it and if I did I apologize. How limited are these going to be on release? If I dont Pre-order within 24 hours of being able to am I screwed? Or will there be enough to go around?

    Though some of the past exclusives have sat for some time, with the popularity of Prime right now, and the love that collectors have for Classics, I would not sit on my thumbs too long when preorders open if you really want them in your collection. Online retailers should get a decent supply, but I could see them both selling out in short order.

    I must have the clear FE prime mold! Black Henkei Prime would be a bonus.

    I have a feeling things are gonna go way high in costs. Like around 150$ after mark up. That said..they'll both be mine.

    it may not be..but the sellers know what the original goes for, and they see that the FE Prime goes for at least 100$...these will be even more exclusive..yeah..way up there. Bet on it.

    I'm thinking $75 max per figure. Takara is not dumb. They know more of these are exported than are sold at the show. Getting them should not be too hard.

    At first when I saw "Black Prime" I was like, 'Sweet, Nemesis from Prime is getting a release!'. Then I realized it was Henkei. Oh well, looks really nice though.

    Matrix Glow Prime looks nice.

    I wonder if they can run of some more normal Colour Primes off the back of making the Fe prime Clear version production run ?

    It would be nice if they could sell the regular colour version of the FE mould on the Takara stand too at retail price.

    I still don't have any FE moulds even Bumblebee - I just can't bring myself to pay £20.00+ for a Hasbro Deluxe and £40.00 to £60.00 for a Voyager.

    If it was something like a Voyager Skyquake that was the one I was chasing ; I would be chasing it with pleasure.

    I wonder if Takara have ever thought about having a small toy repaint as an exclusive say EZ series Skyquake, EZ series Skywarp or EZ series Kup ?.

    That Black Prime toy is slightly different from the Wonderfest one it's a Decepticon for a start.

    Hnnngh I want both of them, Clear Prime especially since I'm in dire need of the FE mold.

    Hopefully I'll be able to secure at least one of them.
