    Apologies if someone else posted this, I didn't see it in a search. A friend just sent me this link, First Edition TF4 Optimus Prime

    Edit: For those wondering the figure is listed as an Amazon exclusive for whatever that's worth. It also appears to be the leader figure we saw a couple months back.

    Double Edit: Woohoo! After almost 11 years on the boards I got my first front page news credit!

    Triple Edit: The link that I posted was valid for several hours yesterday before Amazon pulled the listing. The most likely reason is that they broke a streetdate for selling it as they have done with several items in the past. (i.e. Metroplex)

    Nice find! Is this the one we saw back in November?

    EDIT: Nevermind, just found photos of that one, and this isn't it.

    That's some nice boxart.

    That's some mediocre figure though....I wouldn't pay 60 bucks for it, but I'm sure others would.

    And that's okay.

    Yep!


    Well im going to get this, because despite not being Movie accuarte(backPack)

    I actually like it more than any other movie OP toy i've seen!

    Its a bit simplistic, But it looks like it merges AOE Optimus with DOTM.

    The description has it listed as an Amazon exclusive, but considering how loosely the term "exclusive" is used these days I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at BBTS or at TRU retail stores.

    this is the one that everyone thought was the voyager (the second figure we seen) I called it, that one of them would be a first edition figure.

    Looks better than what we've seen prior, but God damn that backpack.

    Alt mode though, SICK.

    I was about to ask if there would be a first edition figure for AOE.

    If this is a Voyager, it's pretty expensive for a Voyager.

    That's what I figured. And I assume it would be followed by a mass release with plain grey plastic, or maybe a little silver if lucky.

    no, at first we thought it was a voyager until it was confirmed some time ago to be another Leader style figure.

    INTERESTING.

    Especially in that Amazon is going to have this ready for release TWO DAYS after the Superbowl trailer airs.

    If Hasbro can get these into retail as well, that's one way to build buzz.

    If this is possibly a Leader, then what's in the first Leader Class Wave with Grimlock?

    Looks terrible.
    With added CHROME, to guarantee that super-important hard-to-resist collector impulse purchase to boost initial sales.

    Whoa! So this one that looks like a big FAB is the first edition? Wow. The solid blue windows, really, really kill it for me. The Generations leader is definitely the better of the two then

    Looks pretty good, but not for 60$. I need that for the other figures releasing in May.
