    I think he looks epic...I'd have considered if I wouldn't have to import. Wish he was TakTom Voyager w/trailer (should be much cheaper to import if it was the case).

    This tells us 3rd party prices are fair...
    You get any special edition or TFcc toys , they are just reprints, but we are getting new designs each time from those companies.
    $160 kill it although it looks good to me.

    Glad they made it "Limited" edition..., so at least not that many of them clogging shelves eventually being dumped into landfill.

    This ultimate movie Prime should be the worst prime in term on sales figure... there were tons of these (the regular ones) unsold from BlackFriday even almost half off; and now being discounted a bit ~$10 (@TRU)... these are guarantee shelfwarmers.

    My thoughts exactly. :lol  I wanna see out-of-package pics first though. Also, all the red reminds me of this guy, so if I DID end up getting this, I'd probably call him Ginrai. XD

    I actually have a LOT of nostalgia for Armada Optimus, possibly part of why I like Ultimate Prime so much...

    I would really like to see images of the figure before judging it. The combined mode looks interesting since the armor is red, blue, and gold. The blue looks way better than the turquoise IMHO. I'm surprised there weren't any official images before release. We all know someone will buy it, just be man (or woman) enough to give us some high quality images.

    *shudders* That is ugly. The cab is just awful. The price is a jawdropper.
    And I see we're not the only ones with Leader Class shelfwarmers. lol

    Its double the price.Really? Pass. I'm still waiting for in-hand pics of the Dark Nightwatch Jet Prime. The only way I would get the Ultimate Prime mold is if it had a complete non Optimus paint scheme and was cheap.

    That trailer is admittedly really f@#$ing awesome. I think Ultimate Prime is a crappy figure, but if this was stateside, I'd consider getting it. Not necessarily full price, but would definitely consider it and not outright shun it like the regular one. :lol 

    The red grill is admittedly a disappointing thing, but you could find a way to spruce it up if you're only gonna display it in vehicle mode anyway.

    i think it looks pretty neat in combined mode, just not so much apart. it'd look cool on a prime shelf!
