    $70 is terrible, are you kidding me? 3p carbots are about the same price. If this is their price for this then I can say goodbye to buying their other BB figures. About as expensive as collecting MP versions of them. Don't want to know how crazy that shockwave will be.

    And I don't buy those either. Their WWII Bumblebee looks really cool but it's tiny and it's $75.

    And the perfect effect optimus? I suppose it's your prerogative, but I'm just saying the price isn't outrageous as suggested. Its a reasonable price as other projects of the same size has the same price. The only question is if lemon tree makes good quality products

    Yeah of course it's too expensive TO ME. But I guess I've lost a lot of the interest in this design since it was first revealed like 2 years ago. I've enjoyed SS38 a lot but I'm bored with it, and I have Freedom Leader coming soon, so that combined with the price being WAY more than I thought, and the fact that his proportions are too G1 for my taste, I think I will not be following this figure any more. Good luck to those who still want him, but he's not worth it to me.

    What about him? he comes with a whole extra trailer that forms a suit of armor for him. Or are you talking about the one that upgraded the hasbro figure? because that one was pretty dam overpriced.

    No the new 10 year one. Its the one that came with armor, but now without the trailer. Its also a voyager class, but they're selling for 80. I'm suggesting that the price isn't that outrageous

    Yeah.... that’s not a great price for just the base figure. With Hasbro’s voyager being so well made and more than half the price, I just don’t see the appeal.

    I guess you do you. If you're for the voyager sure. I hope you enjoy it. I dont need this, but I'm using this as a measurement to guess what they're shockwave is like.

    Well, I'll definitely be saving that $70 to put towards TransCraft's or Toylab's version.

    Guys, price is something almost subjective. This is one of basis you learn in economics and advertising studies. I could say the same thing for fanstoys stuff, for newage legends Megatron and hastak latest things. But it's subjective.

    Funny you mention those. All 3 are criticized for prices. But yeah, it is subjective.

    I think what he meant is: there are people who complain, there are also people who love those toys and think they are worthy. Those companies also target at people who are willing to spend on premium quality figures. The quality difference might just be between 8/10 vs 9/10, but it costs much more for that 1 point.
    You can see what happens to the recent leafage BA prime head.

    Excuse me, I don't want to offend nobody, but I think you're all a little bit complicated with prices.

    It's just something personal, no more facts.

    People that accepts to expend lots of money on a figure because they think it worth it = Everything's right, don't worry.

    People that wants to expend less money on a figure because they think it didn't worth it = Everything's right, don't worry.

    We're all collectors, that's the only important point, we share love here for TF stuff.

    Just my personal opinion.

    That's exactly the point. We still don't know what will be the final product of lemon tree toys, but maybe if good quality someone will consider it worth the price.

    If the QC is better than the other 3rd party BB Optimus Primes, I will definitely consider the Lemon Tree Toys version.

    The price is okay if the design and especially quality are good. However, given the not-so-good experience of recent 3rd/4th party products, I will not preorder this one. I will decide whether to buy it or not when the final mass product is out and widely reviewed.
