    Love the Stripes - if I have some spare cash when it drops in price a little I might bite.

    I had this on pre-order since July.........was gonna cancel that pre-order as decided I didn't want it anymore.
    Amazon have been sending updates as to expected shipping dates all along and said we'll email you with more info as it comes so I thought I'd get another before it ships.....WRONG!!! its on route to me as we speak!!! shucks:eek:

    I preordered mine. Now I just need to pull the trigger on G2 Bruticus and Year of the Dragon Optimus.

    I was a little worried when Amazon posted their own pictures and Prime didn't have the gas tanks in Vehicle or Robot mode that Hasbro had decided to just not include them. Not TOO worried, but a little.

    The confirmation that he does come with the tank gun is nice!

    Now, once I get this guy, I just need to get a couple of those swords he can hold and I will be happy!

    If I could find the Striker sheild somewhere, then I think I would have a perfect movie OP! (Don't really need the Striker guns, not with the BFG of the Jetwing sticking out right where they would in Vehicle mode).

    Ooooh... The paint on the guns and wings is metallic. Didn't realize that until I opened the amazon box.

    Mine should be here today. This should be the last Leader Prime I get for a total of 12 versions of the figure. I'll try to post some pics tonight.

    Overall, I love mine. I wish the orange on the tips of the guns was a little bit warmer. The cool color they chose doesn't really give the impression of heat I was hoping for. Other than that, he's fantastic!

    The paint really does look better in person, but I'm still going to paint mine. Nice dark gunmetal on the guns, bright shiny silver on the wings.

    Can't wait.
