    I want to get all the figure from the movie, and I have most of them except a few, and one of the ones I still need is leader class Prime. I keep looking for it everytime I go out but I can't find it which leads me to think it's either still very popular or they just don't make it anymore.

    Just wondering if anyone here knows for sure whether or not they still actually make him or if I should look on eBay or the Hasbro Toy Shop.

    Thanks!

    My guess is that he hasn't been in any of the newer case assortments (aka they probably haven't made any in quite some time, imo). Nightwatch Prime, the repaint, should in theory, still be able to be found, but if you want the movie deco, your best bet other than an online source, would be to wait for the Premium version to come out, which should be in the next couple of months. Personally, I plan on getting Premium Bumblebee, so hopefully some more of the sub-line will show up here shortly.

    You may get lucky and find him on some backstock someone throws out, but ebay would be the best bet.
    Just saw some BW 10th anniversary's at Walmart

    Could also try the junkion exchange, members always come through for ya in there. Im sure someone has an extra they'd let go of

    like what the others said, you can wait for the premium version, or get the nightwatch version w/c is out right now. you can also try junkion exchange and look for mineraljane's sales thread, i know he has a movie leader prime for sale.

    I've only managed to spot tons of Nightwatch Optimus Primes at both my local Target and Wal-Mart, along with Deep Desert Brawl. But that's all, but I expect the premiums will be shipping in soon; considering that I just saw premium Blackout at Wal-Mart today.
