    I'd only accept that if they gave him an elbow while they were at it. That's the only thing keeping me from liking that figure.


    On topic, I would love to own this, but $120-$169 doesn't sit well with me.

    Er, is it just me or does that not look all that different from the original release?

    Unfortunately for the Premium line, I think this is how the majority of people feel about this project. They picked an odd figure to use.

    I'm kind of hoping people start unloading the hasbro one at a reasonable price when this comes out.

    Loved the prime. Not really bothered about this though. Looks pretty much the same.

    i think it looks different enough and love the figure actually but the price is just too much. i dont think it really has a premium paint job as it is more or less just painted as the original was pretty much just solid colored pieces of plastic.

    As nice as this is, I just can't bring myself to buy it. Not only do I still have my awesome leader class brawl from the 2007 movie line, but...I have waaaaaaaaaaay too much to buy this year.

    I'd buy it if it was around the price of the original. As it stands, I just don't care enough about the character/toy/design to drop $100+ on it, even if it is very pretty.

    It is basically the same mold from movie 1 except nicer paintjob this time round.

    I am keen to get this but from what is being said i will wait for a comparison review. Hope any more APS models are not revealed before the reviews hit and the price remains steady.

    where is the best deal for APS02, taking into account any import fees/duties?
    (shipping to east coast US that is)

    edit: i see bbts for $170+ship and RK for $130+ship. anyone know what the import fee from RK would be for this???

    Add it to your RK cart and progress it a few screens, then you will see the shipping price.

    EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. I do not know you guys usually check import fees/duties.

    Yes do a mock order for RK and it will show you the shipping, then just cancel unless you are ordering

    thanks. have done that. i guess i should have asked if anyone in U.S. has ordered from RK and had to pay any additional duty/custom fees once the item shipped and arrived in the US?

    RK wouldn't be responsible for duty fees, and therefore would not calculate it into their shipping fee, correct? and from what i've found as long as the item is less than $200 there shouldn't be any additional cost. sorry for the stupid question, just trying to save a few $$ so i can buy more TFs, lol

    APS01 Optimus Prime still a all right figure but APS02 is sure odd though they could have pick either Bumblebee or even Megatron for APS02.

    The US has no custom/import fees. So what ever price RK gives you total with shipping is all you will pay.
