    I'm mighty conflicted about him. On the one hand the red and black looks great but on the other while I know teal has traditionally been part of Nemesis Prime's colourscheme in various media it just looks wrong to me. And then they went and gave him a badass looking sword as well. On the other hand I don't have sufficient attachment to the character to shell out over twice the cost of Voyager Prime, especially when I would likely need to repaint the teal gold or something more like Prime Nemesis Prime and for the sword...

    I could almost understand it if they'd tossed in some new decoded Battlemasters or something too and/or some other accessories but yeah I don't see how the sword warrants such a markup from the original, though of course right now the UK/US sellers likely have an 'import' markup if the only official distributor right now is TTMall.

    To be fair, that is only slightly higher than the usual price for Prime in Japan. 5940 JPY is the regular price so 6480 is a slight premium for a limited edition figure.

    because thats the price takara charges for voyagers, even non limited edition ones are in the $50-$60 range. its an import, not a domestic release

    I think it was funny at first. Especially with ironhide. But now it’s a permanent crotchial region so that’s that.

    Absolute beast. Genuinely did NOT expect Impactor to be THIS good. Showcasing the elepant in the room - those hollow inner legs - shadow and line work conspire to make this a none issue in hand.

    Fantastic figure. Siege continues to impress.

    At the moment i have 2 omega's in pre- order and 2 Jetfire pre- ordered and one on it's way.
    Is that to many omega and Jetfire?
    Should i cancel 1 omega and a Jetfire?

    What do you plan on doing with them? I think that one is just enough.

    I would say yes due to cost that's a lot of money to spend on 4 figures at once

    2 questions:

    1. Does anything go in those gaps for transformation or is it solvable with a filler set of one so chose?

    2. Is his transformation complex at all and/or is it similar to anyone more recently? Recently being from t30 to siege.
