    My collection is running out of space, especially for larger pieces. Megatank Monocrat just took my last sizable space...I'll have to do some serious curating of bots if I want this, lol

    Agreed that the stand is a big help, though.

    Likely, given how the previous one worked. It would be nice if they could find a way to lock some joints (like legs) when off, but a friend who is knowledgeable in motor engineering explained that as a much more difficult ask than it seems.

    I love the idea of using Optimus Prime to prank people!

    Yeah, that's imperative for a sale from me. I'm also waffling because of how steeply the price dropped on the original Prime over time with intermittent sales from various retailers.

    The pic is gone...I NEED to see it! :lol

    I hope that happens here.

    I kind of want him, but not enough to pay this kind of money.

    But if the price eventually comes down by $2-300 I’d give it serious thought.

    oddly enough I just might be willing to go big on Grimlock. We’ll see.

    That is a major minus, given that no matter how much fun he is, the reality is he'll be turned off more often than not. I also had assumed it would be a nice display piece when turned off. Leaves you wondering if you could still manage that or not.

    Nice! I'm with Rob in that I don't particularly care for Bayverse, but that collection of yours is SWEEEEEEEET.

    That's my other hesitation on this one. I'm very, very interested in Grimlock and debating which of the two I'd want to sacrifice the cash and space for.

    As great as that Prime is, what kills me is that for that price he doesn’t transform. But I think he looks much better than the original transforming Robosen Prime.

    The one image we’ve seen of Grimlock looks a lot like the MP. So I thinking he may actually look better than the first Prime and Transform.

    as cool as the first Robosen Prime was, it kind of bugged me that my most expensive Prime (if I got him) wouldn’t be one of the best looking I had.

    grimlock just might solve that. Still a lot of money though. I may or may not ultimately pick up anything by Robosen (as exciting as their stuff is). We’ll see.

    Yeah that's what turned me off the first one. It is beyond cool, but at that price looked too much like a toy. This one on the other hand looks great! It may not transform, but no biggie.

    I wanna see this guy in action. I got the budget set aside for him, but I just want to see the extent of what he can and cannot do. Considering he does not transform, I would assume he has more freedom to move then the G1 version.
