    $200 at the very least IMO and paint does drive up the cost substantially

    wow they really won't let this toy die, will they? :lol 

    I mean he's not even in that body anymore. what's the point other than to piss off your wallet?

    Just remember he has a rather big backpack, and somewhat skinny legs. The hype around this mold would have you think there isn't a single flaw, but I was really bothered by those things when I finally got one. The the kibble that forms the backpack is actually more or less accurate, it just doesn't compress as well as it does in the films. Other than that, it is a really good mold. The skinny legs don't even effect the balance too much.

    They keep reeling me back in. I didn't believe they'd ever make this but I guess I underestimated Hasbro's willingness to milk a mold until it breaks. :lol 

    That said, not sure if I want this as the FWI-4 DOTM jetwing upgrade is loads more screen accurate and looks phenomenal on DA-28 Striker Prime. Will wait for more picture reveals.

    I think you'll be lucky if it costs less than $300. It'll definitely be more than $200 I'd imagine.

    I do wish he had the face mask though, that would make it the Ultimate Edition for me.

    I've wanted a DOTM Optimus in the Buster style paint job. But I still haven't caught up with the AOE stuff. So I'll keep my options open.

    If this is a Striker/Jetwing combo, with all accessories, I will literally orgasm.

    Well, this guy would make number 15 in my Leader Prime collection. I suppose I'll have to pick him up.

    I do love the extra attention to detail with the paint apps. I can't wait to have him in-hand.

    Just curious, is it the same level of collecting for the AoE Prime?

    Nope.

    I did however get the first "premium" Takara AD-01 Prime and recently discarded it in favor of the superior AD-31 Prime. That mold has nothing on Buster Prime (well accept for rubber tires, those are nice).

    Got a space already lined up for this guy next to my APS-01 striker prime ....

    Although to me aps-01 will always be the definitive movie prime .. So this has a lot to live up to...

    Surprises me how they don't have a switch in the back of Prime's head that could open a close a faceplate. Several Bumblebees have battle masks..Why no sliding faceplate for Prime?
