    I was going, I was going! Happy now? I am! Sweet Christmas, I'm on the front page! I can now die happy with my new toys clutched in my hands! Thanks, Razerwire, I actually thought these were already out in the Midwest for some reason, so I almost didn't even post. Just so you all know, I picked them up at a Target that had just re-opened, so look for those initially if you can! :D  Oh, and my apologies for the crappy quality of the pics, I'm getting a new camera next week. Hopefully I will then be motivated to learn how to use the editing software I never seem to get around to figuring out 'cause these pics are way too huge.

    FP'ed and C'ed for Triformis ftw!!!

    I don't think I saw any other sightings other than yours and rhodium1977's sightings in the Cali thread... And since rhodium1977 didn't post pics, that makes you our lucky winner...:D

    What's the proportion of Diecast parts? 50-50?? I have him (Optimus Prime) for about a week but I'm still hesitant about opening him up for display. I'd love to see someone do that so that I can see just how articulated he is. :wink:

    well... Im not.

    Serously, we had 10 primus' dissapear from my tru within a days time, the day before I went to get one for my self. I dobut it was random parrent/kid sales.

    Please tell me you left one or two megs or prime.

    I dont want to start a flame war, I remember all that stupid binladen bunny garbage from a few years back, so I will give only this plea; Please think about other fans, at least give them a chance to find things at msrp.

    Dude so what if he bought six. If you had read the post more carefully you would of noticed it was Razorwire's friend who bought them. The friend bought two for RW so even if he wanted 4 for himself thats two of each figure, one for display and one for play. Whats the big deal?

    As far as your Primus story if you saw 10 and they sold out before you bought one...oh well.
