    I tells ya! Honestly what a show off! :rolleyes: 
    My fave version vis a vis the Book Style Convoy and 2002 New Year's blue eyed version with the Prime Action Master.

    May I present one minty fresh; unused JAFCon 2001 Black G1 Convoy..

    Beautiful. Pic mirrored from @Takaratomys twitter.
    The chrome and corrected color pallet is a huge win.

    Finally had this fellas this past saturday.
    P_20200119_011822_1.jpg P_20200119_012231_1.jpg P_20200119_012430_1.jpg P_20200119_012654_1.jpg P_20200119_012833_1.jpg P_20200119_012940_1.jpg P_20200119_013121_1.jpg P_20200119_013213_1.jpg P_20200119_013408_1.jpg P_20200119_013507_1.jpg P_20200119_013723_1.jpg
    I purchased these on the following reasons:
    - I never owned G1 OP mold
    - I didn't managed to snag SS-38 before, though it appeared a single time in front of me I was hesitant getting it.
    - Japanese G1 Box Retro Art
    - I find SS-38 having g1 toon deco amusing
    - G1 OP (Walmart) is sold here at Studio Series Leader Class price point.

    I'll get the Walmart G1 OP maybe. But in a Clearance Sale Price.
    It's being sold here as a regular released item but at price point of a Studio Series Leader Class which for me it's hard to digest considering it lacks a Trailer. Meanwhile this offering of G1 OP only costs me around price point of Studio Series Voyager Class.

    If you buy it $50 each yes, it's a bit expensive.
    But I'm in South East Asian territory so the price is cheaper.
    Got this from Hong Kong and shipped it here.
    So I got this set around $85-90 overall shipping included.

    G1 OP will remain MISB until either takara or hasbro releases a G1 OP with Trailer.
    I already opened the SS-38 from this set. I finally owning that mold, I was blown away fiddling it.

    No wonder 3P companies are milking SS-38 design.
    I don't mind picking up OS/3P version of it. Aoyi Mech LS-13 perhaps.
    Now this may prompt me to buy Studio Series BB solo movie version. Though I don't like the mandatory door wings in it. Did some 3P fixed that door wings to folded down?

    The G1 Optimus Prime has any difference with the Walmart one?

    The set looks fantastic, and never owned SS38 Prime.
