You're right, I always forget that Toysdaily isn't Japanese.

But still, change that to "Asia in general" and it's still a true statement. No one kitbashes a better mecha.

 

Just how much are they charging?

 

That's pretty badass. I want one too. Now if only we had a bonecrusher for leader prime to put in a headlock, voyager prime just barely can put deluxe bonecrusher in one.

Hmm, I wonder how the blade will look on voyager prime.

 

If I'm making this out right, he wants about $80-90 for the blades. I could be wrong; I'm being told right now that it's hard to really see what he's trying to say.

Typically, $80USD is about Y8,000, and is written as such (though, with the proper symbol  .) He's got it written as Y80.00, though, so he might either be trying to say that they're $80USD and doesn't have a dollar sign, or he's using another currency and they're something completely different.

Maybe they're only $8, but I doubt it. $80 for a custom part is more believable. I'm just saying that, if that is the case, it's very dick of him; once the mold is cast, $80 buys enough plastic for at least 50 of those. He's got to be charging for time and labor, and he's either got an overblown sense of self-worth, or it's taking him like two hours to clean, paint, and finish one sword...

 

I like the sword, but I wonder what the deal with the price is... if it's reasonable, I'd get one, but if it's $80, I'll pass.

 

Yeah, no chance of him selling even one of those for $80.

 

The four prices are.

50.00 yuan for the Allspark
59.00 yuan for the Luminous Allspark (glow in the dark)
80.00 yuan For the Orange Prime Sword
89.00 yuan For the Blue Prime Sword

That's
$6.63 USD for the Allspark
$7.83 USD for the Luminous Allspark
$10.61 USD for the Orange Blade
$11.81 USD for the Blue Blade.

The Blue Blade, and Luminous Allspark are a limited run.

He uses both the chinese dollar sign, and writes Yuan after it. It's essentially a preorder starting in Sept sometime(9/30?), with the items shipping out hopefully in Oct.

Not $80 USD.
If as someone stated, he could make 50 for $80 USD, that would be $1.60 USD per item for plastic cost, and he's still clearing a nice profit on each without being burdensome on his pricing. The above prices are very doable for custom made add-ons.

No clue on shipping cost though. He does ship to Taiwan, but no one has asked if he ships to America.

 

Those prices are reasonable, for sure. I wonder how many he's going to produce?

 

Box art?

 

Fo sho, it looks awesome

Prices aren't too bad

If only I could actually find a fucking Optimus...maybe I'd throw down on a set

 

I have to say that blade is pretty cool.

 

as soon as i see someplace with preorders im in for one of each!

 

Blades = sex. Hope I can snag on somewhere.

 

At those prices I'd buy both blades if I could ever find someplace that sells them.

 

The cube is pretty nice. The blades aren't much good to me since I got Robovision instead of Leader.

 

One of each for regular and Nightwatch Primes, please!

 

Cool!

 

I'm all over that if/when they become available here.

 

Dang!Takaratom/Hasbro do something!Wicked

 

Now that I have my own Leader Prime, maybe I'll get these to make it look cooler.
