3rd party or not, that's a risk you're going to need to be willing to take when buying transformers.

I can't believe he's back on pre-order. This is insane. But man, his first two releases were $90 and $100 respectively.

 

Honestly I’d say that extra $50-60 is absolutely worth it compared to the prices some people ask for it. Some BA Primes go for $400-500 so honestly this is probably the best price we’ll get. I had £20 of points saved up so I was able to get him for under £100 which is an absolute steal for me

 

While it is possible, WJ figures have been re-released left and right over the last two months and of all the figures I have picked up thus far, NE-01 Megatron, the WeiJiang MPP10 oversized trailer, MPP-10 Prime Battle Damaged deco, WJ SS-05, WJ MPM-03 Hornet Warrior and Hide Shadow, NONE of them have had QC issues. Well besides Hide Shadow having some yellowing on two gray pieces on his legs anyway.

 

I'm seeing some going for less on Aliexpress when filtering by newest listings first. These can't be legit, right?

 

Now we can actually confirm it was real

Tbf, none of those figures had issues to begin with (aside from blackout's yellowing)

 

I know that but what concerns me is who producing these new batches.

Oh well if that's the case then I might as well preorder.

 

Ah fuck. I have to get one now. If Showz has it up then that makes it feel more legit to me. Plus the price is way better.

 

What’s Shmoptimus doing Morpheus?

 

As i see at least for me there is no cheaper option in ali because of the vat/tax to my country. There csn be found cheap prices but thats are other figures prices.

 

This concerns me too. I'd love to get him, but I also remember someone saying that replacement parts wouldn't be available if there is a QC issue.

 

Hmmmmmm, can someone confirm this?

 

I will honestly cut my losses on my first BA Prime and have a parts copy if the second one is somehow of lesser quality, I see no downside.

 

Never clicked on a link so fast in my life lmao!
PO'd! Can't wait to have my all time favorite figure back in my collection, right on time too! I was about to spend $500 on him.

I had a batch 3 I believe it was back in the day, I'll let you all know how this "new batch" (or leftover stock) compares to it

 

I've got two Black Apple Primes, one I've opened to play with and modify, the other has been kept MISB. Do I need another one? No. Do I want another one to keep in vehicle mode? Absolutely. My favourite Optimus figure of all time, and got me back into collecting bayverse stuff. Definitely worth getting if you can

 

Preordered but not really feeling the full price. Lets see the reviews on QC first.

 

When I saw BA Prime was back in stock at ShowZ;

 

Hey, where can I get this Sam Witwicky? Is he an add on to something?

 

He was included with the Human Alliance Bumblebee back during the Revenge of the Fallen period.

 

damn guess I gotta cancel my pre order at iacon store if you can get it cheaper anyone know how many are available?

 

Saw that he was on pre-order and I zoomed over to put down a deposit, can't wait for this guy
