    Found this guy at a Target in Pleasant Hill, CA. While only a 3-step changer I have to say the colors on this guy look pretty nice.

    DPCI = 087-06-0791 and comes up as $30.59 for this store.

    And yes, seems like a lot for only a 3-step changer...

    That one actually looks cool. Its almost like it Cybertron/Galaxy prime and Armada Prime had a baby.

    If the arms at least move, My son will want this. He loves the quick changers. And the prime itself looks VERY cool, If I just step back and look at the design.

    Just watched a video. That would be sweet for when the Boy and girl play together. I can see buying that one. The arms have FULL articulation and a swivel wrist.

    Give him an old DOTM long handle Prime gun and roll out.

    The fists rotate, so no gorilla arms. But honestly, it's poorly made, the upper body is all floppy-flexy, and in truck mode, the wheel panels are also flexy. The smaller 3-step Prime is much better.

    Already seen him in Canada. I'm pretty much indifferent.

    I love how the three steps work. Granted, they're not for me, but they are interesting like origami.

    Found this last week in Schenectady, NY. The promo pics showed it as a 1-step, so there may be a packaging variant out there.

    1. Fold cab in.
    2. Swing cab completely under to the back until it pushes the arms out and tabs in place.
    3. Swing the wheel panels out.
