    Damn, I need a Crumplezone but I have a Cybertron Optimus and don't need another. Would have been better with a Megatron or Ransack IMO.

    Still Optimus Prime, though. The 'Galaxy Force' name was just a nod to fans who knew of the Japanese series and to signify he is the leader of their expedition in the last episode (hence the Cyber Key symbols instead of Autobot symbols). Takara never released a redeco of this toy to my knowledge.

    I might get it. I already have Crumplezone and the normal Optimus. Depends on price, I guess.

    Well, Energon was not too bad either but I DO agree that Cybertron line were simply magnificent! :thumbs2: 

    Now back to topic:

    Would love a set of these..PROVIDED that they're GENERALLY AFFORDABLE. As with some of the comments left on this thread, wouldn't make much sense to charge HIGH for something that shelfwarmed. :sly:

    I really hope this comes out to the U.S., cause E-BAY is just making me mad more and more!

    All well, I wish it was the original one with the blue instead of the black!

    With any luck, these guys will be Vortex & Swindle, so Whirl can use the Evac mold (with a new head, which means through the club) and Sandstorm can be a triple changer new mold.

    Hello All!

    I had another thought about this 2 pack. I know that it is a Canadian exclusive (but nothing TF seems too exclusive anymore), but the box, style, and packing is screaming a Sam's or a Costco exclusive release in the States. Either one usually carries something similar to this during the Christmas season. The other warehouse would have to have something else to sell (?). Of course, if this is not released in the warehouse chains and is really exclusive to Canada, I wonder what Costco, Sam's and BJ's will have for TF releases this year?

    Costco will not have a true exclusive. We will get Animated supreme prime probably in a new package like last years Ult bb
