    It may not accurate to the movie but using the trailer as it's intended repair bay seems appropriate.

    Henkei Convoy/Op is still my CHUG S1/2 Prime. Never got the Combiner Wars, Siege or Earthrise. So having the Siege mold is a reason I still have it on pre-order.

    True, but a big factor is space on my shelf. I have room for a fig, but not a laid out trailer for a dead Prime.

    We'll see.

    Understandable.
    Too bad you couldn't just pop the sides off to slim it down some.

    One of the ER trailer complaints is that it's small. That may work out in your favor.

    True. It's a continual game of Transformers Tetris I play. The big space in front of Sandstorm is reserved for MMC Dicamus/Roadbuster so we'll see.....

    The trailer can also be propped upright for repair bay mode, so you can save on space that way too.

    Trailer mold also includes parts of the main figure, so it couldn't come without the trailer as is

    And, let's face it, if they're selling "Dead Prime" to specifically reference the movie... being able to put him on his death bed is part of it.

    So annoying that Amazon Germany (and UK) went from "page does not exist" to "currently unavailable" (or now: buy it for $ 100+ from a private seller in the USA).

    I've checked the listing at least once every day and never saw it available for pre-order, so I doubt I missed it. Hope it's available for order tomorrow. If not, I may have to bite the bullet and pay $ 90 to get it from the USA.

    I was gonna wait for a sale on this guy, but then my fiancĂ©e asked what I wanted for oyr anniversary :D .

    Unlike you I won't know when I'm charged because she used prepaid credits to pay for him (and Doubledealer). Also, living in a island has its downsides, since 1-2 day shipping is virtually impossible, so I'm here still waiting...

    Mine's saying "shipped," but no tracking info yet. Supposed to get it Friday. I was hoping my regular Prime would get here before the dead one, but BBTS is being pokey as usual. Ah well, still excited to see him.

    Off topic, but you should avoid using the same name on multiple sites. It makes people tracking you down easier. You may think you have nothing to hide, but get into an emotionally charged argument with the wrong weirdo, and they may decide to dig through your online history to find something you said five or more years ago and send it to your employer.
