    So where does one get this guy? Searching for him online yields results for a ton of look-alikes.

    One thing the reviewer got wrong is he thought this Aoyi LS13 version is designed by Black Apple.

    What do you think of Weijiang's version of this SS Optimus Prime? You could go for a matching set (brand-wise anyway).

    From what I’ve read, this seems like the better option.

    Really? I thought WJ version (not the 1st WJ version which is a direct KO OS, but the recent version) is better, but it's also more expensive.
    WJ Version is 100+
    while this one is around 60 to 70.

    It is 90 yuan difference in price on taobao. And ye I agree with you, the fire scorpion m09 by WJ or whatever it's called looks better to me.

    I didn’t realize that this new WJ was a new one at all. So many Optimi floating around that it’s hard to keep track. I just learned that the new WJ is an all new mold so now I need to think. Is it that much better than the Aoyi to justify buying it? I need to see a review comparing the two.

    You're going to have to wait a while for a comparison. The new WeiJiang, which was going by Fire Scorpion, isn't due out for a couple more months.
