    w00t! 20th Prime, come to papa!
    I;ve wanted this figure for ages, but wasnt going to pay £120+ for it.
    Also, glad to hear that the cybertron figures are coming, don't really care about the re-issues, the only one i want is soundwave, and thats a Takara one.

    Well I'm just glad they're coming at all. About bloody time - most of my reissues have been Japanese (apart from Skids). Now I can save a bit of cash and buy local :)

    For those of you who are planning to get 20th Prime at TRU UK.I'd suggest you stay on the ball... could be wrong, but i suspect they may not get that many in to start with.

    And you guys aren't even getting raped on prices! Well, no worse than we did anyway, except possibly Thundercracker.
