no lunch for me for a month. I remember when the dollar was strong back then it should cost $146.   not anymore

 

have to agree this OP and Jetfire will look freakin' SICK!!! when combined..  

 

I want it so bad it hurts.
Stupid car payments taking all my money

 

OMG, Stryper Optimus Prime!! Stryper is my favorite band, I need that Optimus Prime! But it's so expensive... I never thought I'd say this, but... I wish Hasbro does this repaint!

 

A Nemesis Prime...you know I'm on it. I like the original Black repaint color scheme. I heard about a prototype in this color scheme a few months ago. I also heard of someone finding a movie prime in a store with a black head. I'm guess those were hints to this up coming release. He may get his on shelf or he'll fit right in with my Black Unicron shelf. It just hit me...when it combines with jetfire! Oh its gonna be sick. I would still like a better picture of robot mode.

 

That Prime is gorgeous!

 

Why can't we have stuff like this in America?

 

I want to see the Skids/Mudflap repaints ...

 

Er... excuse me, but "America" should be instead "the rest of the world". There are more interested people outside Japan and the USA, like Portugal, Uk, etc...

 

I'm sure that someone has already pointed this out by now, but it occurs to me that Black Prime, with his flame deco, looks a lot like THE FALLEN... and by that, I don't mean ROTF Fallen.

"give me your paint job!!!"

 

Freakin' wow! That Prime & the clear Ez Bee are pure love. Heck i'd settle for dirty Skids n Mudflap. But what i really cant wait to see is someone show Dark Prime & Jetfire combined. Man,that's gonna look sweet. I hope at least one of those exclusives comes to NA...Please??

 

WOW! thats nice! I reeeeeeeeeeeeelly want that! I need it! this thing is going to sell out before I can buy!

 

that optimus is AWESOME!!! why can't hasbro do cool stuff like this?

 

Because retailers don't want them or they haven't asked for them?   In this sort of market, it is the retailer who determines what appears on shelves, so Hasbro can't just go "here's a toy, now sell it" anymore.

 

Question: Does the PS3 play Japanese Blu-Ray discs?

 

According to this link Japan and North America have the same region code for blu-ray (but not regular DVD).

Like others have said, that Prime would be perfect mated up with Jetfire. Not dishing out $160 to get it though. Hopefully something very similar will show up in North America.

 

For everyone (like me) wishing to see the awesome Stryper Optimus Prime repaint combined with Jetfire you can see at amazon.co.jp if you scroll down. Not sure if these images were already there, I just saw them now...
