Showz has end of April listed for release but who knows for sure.

 

That's a negative.

No, but as @Grouch points out, it is currently listed on ShowZ. If I wanted it, I'd get my pre-order in where I could in order to ensure that I got it.

[Pre-Order] Magic Square MS MS-Toys MS-B18 MSB18 Light of Justice Optimus Prime OP

 

well that is shit. but it is still a great bot and anyone who needs one should jump on the chance no questions asked.

 

Yes
To all who don't have an original deco MS Prime, jump on this asap. In my opinion, he is quite possibly, the perfect 4" action figure.

 

Sorry for the slight tangent. I posted this question in the MS Bluestreak thread as well. Does MS Bluestreak with his more polished finish, look better with the standard Prime or metallic Prime?

 

Probably the metallic, as the regular has that MS standard, even, flat finish. You honestly don't notice Bluestreak's gloss unless he's under lights.

The G1 toy color Reflector doesn't look like he has the gloss, so maybe Bluestreak's a one off?

 

Yeah I wonder. I’m gonna give the regular Prime a test drive either way.

 

Anyone able to share a pic of this prime and earthrise prime? Trying to get a feel for earthrise skylynx and legends class

 

So is he too big for legends? I'm starting to think maybe a smidge

 

I'd maybe consider how Sky Lynx scales with the Legends combiner options, too.

 

Well I'm only doing autobots so that's none.

 

I'd say so but I'd also say he's not too far from the scale shown in call of the primitives. A little big but not obnoxiously so. I happen to prefer Skylynx a little smaller (closer to his Return of Optimus Prime size) but I think Earthrise will work pretty well for a lot of people. I think I'll own him and use him in my legends collection despite his large size.

 

Just got the Shattered Glass edition and loving him! Anyone know a good source for SG labels? I assumed Toyhax would have some but I couldn't find any.

Ordered the Ghostbuster edition as well and trying to hold off on getting Nemesis but I love this mold so much!

 

I love my nemesis version - think I prefer it to my normal one.   So tempted with the Ghostbusters one but just can't stretch to it at the mo so hope I can still find one in a couple of months... 

 

I used the white outline one. Unfortunately, I can't find any sources on the sets anymore. Looks perfect to me.

 

Two white outline sets that can work for SG

I recently decided to give this Prime a try. I got in too late to find the original release, so I got the metallic one. He looks really good, and the colors are great with NA's toy Megatron, but I like Dutch's colors better with the rest of my collection. No problem, I'll order the mainline release. Only he's sold out almost everywhere. I managed to find him on AliExpress, only the seller hasn't shipped or responded in a couple of months. I also found him on a questionable looking site in the Middle East - called eRomman. They seem like Amazon or Ebay, and the actual seller seems to be in Malaysia. But they take PayPal, so I give it a try. My paypal gets charged. Then when I return to the site it says the order failed. But I have an invoice. I have no idea what to think, but worst case, I'll just get a refund.

A month later, no contact from AliExpress or eRomman, and ShowZ puts up a preorder, so I cancel the AliExpress order, and start reaching out to eRomman to cancel. But then look what shows up on my doorstep:



At first, I thoght the colors looked a lot like the metallic one. Then I realized what I was looking at.

     

I check my invoice, and yeah, I ordered MS-B18. I haven't opened him up yet, but at this point, I haven't decided if a return is worth the trouble. At least I still have my preorder!

 

From what I can tell the metallic version is starting to dry up so you should be able to sell it if you don’t return it.
