    If it's a Buster Striker Prime, then I need to have it. I see it being 200-300 dollars though... *looks at wallet and gulps*

    Premium series worries me, it sounds like they're going to do most of the leader figures and potentially others. If so, it's gonna get expensive and easily be the most money I've spent in a year, probably ever.......

    Seriously? I have my 10th Leader Prime on preorder right now. Takara is going to bust me with these guys. I can't afford to keep up, never mind finding space for them all.

    It will cost at least $150. Will it be a general release or store exclusive?

    It says Premium Series. I suppose there will be more repaints coming, premium or not.

    Well at least it's semi realistic....unlike some dreamers who think everything will magically appear at Ross.

    I already own the normal Striker, plus the TRU Battle Blades, so I'll probably pass on this...but the right deco could lead me to change my mind. With so much other stuff on tap though, it'd have to be mighty impressive. I already own Buster anyways.

    I'd probably shell out for a Sentinel with a better deco too. The rest of the leader molds are close enough...or.not worth the.bother, imo.

    RotF Amazon-Japan Black Prime
    DotM Striker Prime
    DotM Buster Prime (blue pin-striping)
    RotF Leader Prime (original, combined with original RotF Jetfire)
    RotF Buster Prime (white pin-striping)
    RotF Family Mart Prime (clear)
    HftD Battle Hooks Prime
    DotM Jetwing Prime
    DotM Jetwing Prime (Movie Deco Amazon Exclusive)- preordered

    I've even added the new reprolabels set to one of my Busters and Jetwing Primes (in addition to getting more pieces on Buster custom chromed). I have spent a whole hell of a lot of money on Movie Prime's and I freaking love them.

    I will of course have to get this newest one, especially if it is as awesomely cool as it seems it may be.

    My thought is that it may be a Striker Prime with the parts for the Jetwing backpack (and the jetpack itself, obviously), with the Buster Prime deco. And the correct LED color in his eyes for once.

    This would all be amazing and I will absolutely be preordering it the second it is available.

    I have had to change sooooo many of the incorrect LEDs to the correct blue, it is ridiculous. I would be simply astounded if this newest one had the correct color eyes.

    Definite buy if it has chrome, if not, easy pass. I wish they would always use the same paint and color that they used on Buster Prime, he is my favorite movie prime by far

    It looks like I'm going to have to sell my striker Optimus to make way for this

    The other releases i'd expect to see is Brawl, Sentinel and Ironhide in 'premium' colours/additional weapons.

    Pity we won't get a chance to own a leader DOTM Megs, I have (and hate) the 07 Megs, and didn't bother with ROTF.
