    Obviously, but the bottom line is, if it didn't sell, Takara Tomy wouldn't be putting out the mold again and again. Yes, a number of fans might decry the multiple repaints/rereleases, but the Classics/Henkei Prime/Convoy mold is just really really good and very popular with fans. Not only has it been released multiple times by Has/Tak ( and sold very well), it's one of the most popular KO figures ever.

    Eh, I'll just get Optimus, but I might have to pass on that GDO/ Movieverse tank bot

    Wow! I love Optimus colors, finally white thighs and not silver! If the price is right, I probably cannot pass on that mold again this time.

    Sometimes it really pays off to wait and not just buy what they release the first, second or third time :lol

    I think both turned out fairly well. The black seems to work with Optimus. I was a little worried that it would clash too much. That Megatron looks damn fine. I really wish it had a samurai style cuirass rather than the bludgeon chest-face, especially the pre-firearms lamellar style.

    I already have a superb Henkei Optimus so I might just go with Megatron if he is cheaper than Henkei Megatron

    so wait, 5940y equates to a little over 50US, right? bbts has these at 100 each on preorder, right?

    maybe my converter's off...:(

    wait like I do, ebay will have them shortly in decent quantity oop, for roughly 30US a piece (it's what I've paid, not what they all went for)

    that includes oop united UM and tokyo toy wonderfest versions BEFORE they were sold in package... and I got them waaaay before the KO's began surfacing.

    I'd pay 100 for both including shipping, but not 100 for each.

    not even if they combined :D

    Out Of Package :) 

    The guy probably got factory excess pieces. A number of them pop up from time to time.

    Is there a reason Prime's windvane is black, other than looking awful? I'm fine with the guns and it looks good in robot mode, but it looks AWFUL in vehicle mode.

    Megs looks great, though. I definitely prefer the GDO version, but he looks very nice in those colors.

    I painted my classics optimus just like this guy (minus the black windvane)
    they both look great; $'s would be the only thing that holds me back on this

    yesser - not ko's, not in package, and attained before factory-ready misb products.

    I see I'm not the only one ;) 

    just, a word to the wise - er, not wise - don't get antsy if you see one for waaay too much advertised before they are released - not worth it... they're called scalpers for a reason. :)
