Shime on you!

 

Hell's teeth, that new metallic one looks lovely  I'm now ashamed to post this here, but I'll do it anyway. For the X V1 outcasts and rejects like myself! He's feeling like a decoy himself these days.

 

omg...you are so dumb i swear. but at the same time that is f'ing brilliant.

 

Haha, thanks mate, that's going on my gravestone!

It's. Simply. Gorgeous.

I'm lucky, a few days ago I returned my Optimus with two left elbows to the seller that sold it to me weeks ago. Then the Metallic 2.0 appeared (I POed him), and also, I asked to ShowZ if they will have again stock of the regular version... And miraculously they had one unit left in the warehouse! Of course I bought it asap. Now I will have two MST Optimus. I don't collect metallic figures but I'll do an exception.  

 

I think I'd prefer if the red were just a little less shiny but otherwise I love it and can't wait to have it.

 

Right? It's just a little too candy apple red. But it does look very nice!

 

that's just too bling to pass up i think. but i can't put it along side the others in my collection in fear of dissension due to jealousy.  

 

LOL they might discriminate him when you're away ala Toy Story

 

WTF, ShowZ sent me and email that I have to pay the full balance of my POed Metallic Optimus 2.0, I have only 14days left until auto-cancelation.

A figure that will be released on march... five months until release!. Why they do that now??.

 

Generally means it's incoming and will be sent soon in my experience.

 

Where are you getting a March release? Usually show z will send out the invoice a week or two before they expect to receive it. Perhaps you could sooth yourself and just ask them if ur concerned.

 

Same here, I received my balance request last night which was a lot quicker than expected. Great anyway to get this guy in-hand soon enough.

 

I saw it now, it sais in-coming!! Wow! Paid. Don't know why before the listing was on march 2022, better for me now!.

 

What are considered the preferred versions of this mold?

There have been so many diff G1 versions. Does anyone care to share a rundown of the different versions and the differences between them?

I've got the very first one that came out with the trailer with the flat pale plastic (which looks pretty toon to me), and just ordered this newest one from @ShowZStore for $50ish. Pretty happy with that.

 

if you're looking to unload the original to cover the cost of the new one, i might be interested pending price.  

 

I put in an order for metallic 2.0 at showz, Hope it comes soon! In the meantime I have to offload the metallic 1.0 now

 

Yeah just paid for mine at ShowZ, I’ve missed the previous 3 so it’s time to lock one down. All the previous versions were going for over $100 on eBay when I looked
