    It does, but it’s only in 1 spot. Why.... if you aren’t putting it all over don’t bother with it at all. Imagine buying a TF and having a battle damaged head, while the rest of it is perfectly clean. It’s just as jarring. As I suggested before, they needed to simply make 2 versions like they did with their megatron. Make a clean one, and then a second battle damaged version.

    There's too much showing on this one that's why they're showing it from the low angle. It looks like the front of the legs barely transform in vehicle mode

    Good thing I did not pre order this. I'll keep waiting for a better version and one that is in scale to MPM. I have no space for larger bots and they usually just make Optimus and stop doing all the other characters.

    So... Uh.... Only now found out this thing is freaking $85..... That's nuts. I expected something much better at that price, especially since they made stuff like OS brawl at $40. This has gone from ill try cause it's cheap to no way am I'm paying for this.

    Nope, they increased the price insanely recently and now with cost the same. So now the fire scorpion on is way more worth it at this price ...

    [Pre-Order] Aoyi Mech LS-13 Tactical Commander Optimus Prime

    See, $85. Given the tarrifs didn't go through (think they settled something for now) so idk wtf is with the sky rocket in prices

    huh, weird. especially just after the breakage report. oh my primus don't seem to change their price yet, as well as local sellers on my country, so maybe it is not a universal thing?

    Showz of all places is usually the cheapest, so this most likely signifies an increase in price about to hit everyone else.

    It is like 60USd over here. No news of price increase. More like ShowZ taking advantage.

    Unlikely, they went behind the back of a 3p and sold me a figure for less than the minimum they would allow, they are good dudes. Remember that the OS jetfire went from 60 to 85 as well so this is very much black mamba’s work. They are heavily increasing prices for no real reason with the tarrif delay
