    I'm sure someone's going to most likely punch me through my computer monitor for bringing up movie toys but I need some help.

    I've been wanting a trailer for my Battle Blade Optimus Prime. (Yes I know it doesn't have an actual trailer hitch but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. And I know I could buy a more accurate model trailer but those cost an arm and a leg.)

    I've wanted to find out if the Movie Trilogy Deluxe Optimus Prime trailer is the right size for Battle Blade Optimus Prime. (Chronicles Optimus Prime trailer would work too since they are the same mold) To me the deluxe figure that it comes with is too small for the trailer, so a voyager might fit better.

    If anyone has the figure could you give me the dimensions of the trailer (preferably in inches) and maybe some pictures of it with Battle Blade Optimus (if you have that guy too, obviously)

    Thanks!

    I've seen pictures of BB Optimus with that trailer and it's not quite right, in my opinion. If all else fails I might get this. [​IMG]

    The trailer is 9.05" x 2.28" x 2.48" (Length, height, width. This is only the box itself, no blue piece or wheels. Also i'm Canadian so I use the metric system, had to convert these to inches.)

    Could you measure with the blue pieces and wheels included? These are good measurements but I'd like to have both if you don't mind.

    Sorry for my sloppy microsoft paint skills.

    I don't know if I'm too late to the party to help, but if you can, go to Toys R Us and check out their in house selection of toy trucks...I believe it's the "Fast Lane" series brand name...seems to me they had a semi truck that was actually deco'd like movie prime, and came with a trailer for under $20...I don't know if the scale would work, but if it did, a little creativity would turn it into a nice Optimus trailer for your display.

    The fast lanes trailer could work, but since I want a deluxe Prime anyways, the movie trilogy will be a better option. I will check out the trailer though, you got me courious.:lol

    I remember those, also I think there was a thread on it and it mentioned that BB prime is 1:34 scale while the trailer was 1:43 scale. I'm not sure if anyone got one to see if they worked...at least I think he was 1:34 scale.
