    Not sure why some sellers have referred to the APC Attack Prime as Apache but both of those listings appear to be the most recent repaint of APC's Prime, which is based on the Takara version/color scheme.

    Here is a cheaper alternative of the Takara color version:
    APC Toys Attack Prime OP Japanese version color matching Action Figure in stock

    Here is the original first version (also called Apache here):
    APC-Toys Transformers Apache TFP charge Optimus Prime APC-001 Attack Version

    Also, for reference, there is a 2.0 repaint version which is pretty much sold out (probably because it's the best looking one, IMHO). But here's that one:
    {APC Toys APC-001 Attack Prime Optimus Prime Repaint 2.0 Version}

    Thanks for the info.

    The 2.0 appears to have the chrome looking legs and such? I’m not too worried about that, as I’ll be touching up the figure anyway :)

    It appears that Galaxy Mob is finally finished production and the suppliers are getting theirs now. The seller on ebay has been very talkative to me. Hopefully orders will be sent soon.

    Galaxy Mob looks good but I still don't feel like it's such a huge difference over the original that I need to spend $40 for extra troops. Good for those that need 'em!

    This is by far their most pointless release, if you're patient they appear on ebay for a lower price

    Show-Z has Galaxy Mob listed as Incoming, so it shouldn't be long now.

    Back when prime released you could get yourself 5 of them for under $80. Thanks to APC, we can now get 5 for the low price of $200

    so after actual improvements to megatron, aree and optimus, they said "ok now we make a slightly bigger soundwave and uh fuck it, just flat out KO the vehicon mold?"

    They really should have made them cheaper/cheap even if it might have set them a little back. They would have made a killing off people buying multiples (I might have - especially since I don't have any Vehicons).
