Okay the ShowZ prices are way better. I think $80 USD is fair. I’m surprised to see that Ultra Magnus is only $5 more. I was expecting it to be more with its higher part count.

 

It's still expensive, but acceptable

 

Newage and Magic Square were always expensive. When you factor in that you were always spending voyager class prices for a legends class car.

 

Wow, $85 for NA Magnus on ShowZ. It's even cheaper than MS white prime ($39) plus amour ($50) sets combined, not counting MS white prime is way harder to find now.

And $80 for NA Prime is litlle expensive but expectable. I really hope that their recolours will not come with the trailer and price around $60 or cheaper, then I will probably get the nemesis or toy versions.

Another lesson learnt, comparing prices of different figures should be based on 1 website only. Like I never compare prices of NA figures I get from Taobao with MS figures on TCP or BBTS, etc.

 

This really looks good, and highly complicated for its size. I've been using THS-01 as my legends Prime but this might be the replacement.

 

Also look at the magic square 2.0 prime, Looks a bit better in my opinion
Magic Square Toys Optimus Prime 2.0

 

I like how that looks, a bit more simplified MP-44. Though at that scale the titty windows hinge looks bad as a printed proto. Do like how they are doing the hip skirts.

 

Backpack is certainly much better than MP-44

 

The Frontrack though ......

 

Think he was responding to the post about MS's new Prime.

 

Both figures have better backpacks compared to MP-44

 

Understood, I hijacked his reply ....

 

Yep that’s what I was doing

 

Just payed off my ShowZ pre order. I assume he will ship early to mid October. I hope Magnus ships a month later.

 

NA answered one of the comments on their Weibo that Magnus will be released before OP. I think they want to try to fix OP.

After that, if nothing changes, I believe we will have some news of their Stunticons (H36 to H40)

Edit: here is the comment on their Magnus post:

 

Well shit. Thanks for the update.

 

where do you see them say that about prime?

it would be nice if they tried. but i just dont see them fixing that bot this late in the game.

 

I thought I was the only one who didn't like those chest window hinges.

Lol, so true. And the repaints never stop.

  oh for crying out loud just stop.

 

Sorry perhaps I was wrong. I remember someone said that earlier on this thread, but not sure if I misunderstood (because there were lots of hateful comments on it here, maybe someone made a joke)

Reading their Weibo, some people asked NA for some more accessories like articulated hands, pointing hands and fix the double chest and some pins. NA said yes for some more hands, but no confirmations about any major changes. They just convinced that it would look better in hands. Maybe we should not keep dreaming like how they did with their Meg and constructicons

 

I heard Newage already said they will send replacement parts to fix the double chest. They're sending a second back to even things out.
