    The guns and jetpack cost $175 if you were on the ball, the Leader Prime it comes with is a freebie.

    I'll just wait till the inevitable sale of unsold stock later. If I am wrong then I'll just pick one off the boards someday.

    They only have 60 in stock, so I wouldn't necessarily count on that. Getting one off the boards would probably be your best bet.

    I hope this guy can stay in stock at BBTS or elsewhere into August when I'll be able to afford him. That or a preorder for new stock goes up shortly after it sells out.

    I wont be surprised if this guy will go for $300 (sealed) in two years on the aftermarket. Look at Buster Primes prices, most are hovering around $175-200$ sold.

    I would wait. It is a great looking toy but not worth $200. I can see Hasbro releasing this at some point, even as a store exclusive. I still feel silly paying $150 + shipping for 2010 Unicron knowing that it will be released for $60 in the fall.

    "But it's got a new hat! Er, gun!" XD

    Actually have this pre-ordered before in the hopes that it'll be blinged out like Buster Prime was. I also dig the new buster cannon (and what may possibly be a shield.... hope he comes with an energon axe too). I missed out on Buster Prime (still kicking myself) and really would like to avoid the scalper prices on him on places like evilBay, but I may just pick up DA-28 directly from Japan while I'm over there instead if the timing is right for release. =)

    According to Red Leader (aka Kapow Toys), there will NOT be any chrome on the DA-28 Leader Prime.

    As for new paint apps, who knows...but no chrome.

    I too hit myself on the head as I missed out on Buster Prime as well, I remember a while back a fellow board member was selling me one for $110 shipped and I passed on it. I do recall ebay having it for $100 bucks and I still passed on it! How much I wish I could turn time back and get it for that $100 price... GRRRRRAHHHHH!!! :banghead: 

    This sucks big time! I was hoping for Prime to have some "bling bling"..

    I can see it being a Costco or TRU exclusive for sure. But Im scared about risking nit getting one for the current price. Cause I'm sure it'll go up in value soon.

    I don't own that Optimus mold so the purchase isn't that bad for me but $175-$200 is still a bit steep.

    I think BBTS tacked another $50 to it to make up for the weak dollar and import fees, they have to make a profit, but theres a risk where Jetwing might sit like their Seacons reissue by making it this expensive.

    Just like TFsource only had like 23 of the igear jet 3 packs when i ordered mine (but its been constantly replenished every time they've run out). If they sell out for $200 a pop, trust me......they'll find a way to get more.
