    I always knew this day would come. The day when Jetwing Optimus Prime would ship, and suddenly all the bits I've had saved on my Shapeways account and in my Bookmakrs would have to get moved to the Cart.

    KNUCKLEDUSTERS!

    And the Cubex guns whenever they come out.

    Also, it's apparently time to finish the OMEGA ARMOR that's been sitting on my bench for almost a year.

    This is gonna be fun.

    Well with the size of them they could look like a regular sized gun in the hands of a toddler and that's the last thing we need, more cops shooting toddlers.

    I'm really torn on this one. If I bought it I would want the box to be in nice shape but I've always had bad luck ordering things like this from Amazon. I wish I could give them two or three dollars more for some bubble wrap.

    Didn't realize this was news...they've been putting this one in my recommendations for ages now. As a matter of fact, was looking at it again today. :) 
    It is tempting, but I think I'll wait and see what happens, not really feeling that I can't live without him...I have so many movie Optimus figures already.

    Some of you folks who get him Monday tell us what you think.

    Wow thanks for the heads up..I just dropped over 5 bills on LEGO sets on Amazon this week and could use a break. Cancelling my preorder from July and will wait for a price drop like his dragon friend...

    **EDIT - they must be boxing it up right now...will not let me cancel. boo

    Prefer the amazon version over the chromed japanese one and had this on preorder.

    It's those Classic Optimus Prime trailer stripes on the wings that make this version all class.

    I like those, too.

    It does give a pretty cool effect. Maybe I won't need to paint it all that much if I do get it...

    I have the original version of this figure and I like this version better, Grr. Mine looks so bland in comparison.
