    Yeah, the Vehicon is the most difficult mold to find. But, the most difficult figure is Takara's version of Optimus, and it's the most expensive as well.

    Obviously a rhetorical question and the answer is supply and demand.

    Like many others here, I have both versions and they are close enough that spending 2-3 times that for a FE mold is not worth it.

    Well, hardly a substitute for most collectors. That thing is really more a bonus for hard core TF fans, imo. It's about as far from being screen accurate as you can get, after all.

    Because the people who buy it are crazy and won't accept the smaller and easier to find one.

    Yeah but I can honestly say It's good enough for me, I think they did an excelelnt job on it, and I prefer it to either Blue release. Same as I love my Takara Bulkhead.

    I'ZZ not crazy for buy'n FE'zz. Hasbro's the crazy one for not selling them to us. Just slap those FE figures into RID packageing and they would have sold like hot-cakes.

    When they do finally get around to selling them.... everyone who wanted them will have gotten them already. :(
