    Got mine!!! Woooooo!! Added the W3 legends too since HTS doesn't charge taxes to PR and shipping wasn't so bad, around ~$9.

    Makes you wonder if in a couple of months regular Orange Op Op is gonna go cheap on Amazon like Overlord did last year.

    Well holy crap, thought I'd have to wait on the Takara release to get this since when this came out initially, my budget was tied up with all the Amazon exclusives coming out around the same time. But now I've got the boss monkey all ordered up! (Now if only I could get that con exclusive tcg set with Slipstream...)

    Thanks for the heads up! Just got my order in a few minutes ago. Shame I couldn't knock down the $12 tax/shipping a bit, but I'm at least glad I've got him. Was fully expecting to have to pay $90-$100+ after not really expecting this to restock.

    At least I still have my amazon.jp preorder.

    You know, I like Throne Primal using the blast armor to extend his shoulders while Optimal keeps them on his forearms.

    It gives him an extra element of size that adds to the more powerful look of the throne version. He just needs a cape.

    My Throne arrived today, and yet another iffy shipping job from HasbroToyShop. The shipping box had some airs bags on only one end of the box, but not surrounding the whole figure, and the tape wasn't even holding it completely closed. Something leaned on or creased the shipping box which ended up putting a crease across the whole back of the toy box, but it's not bad. Glad I'm not worried about keeping it pristine. Sounds like it fared a lot better in shipping than the G1 reissues have been arriving to people from Walmart, at least. I would expect better for $8 in shipping. For a little more after that and taxes, I could have gotten the Takara release shipped in January pristine from BBTS, but I didn't want to wait.

    Any idea on removing the wheel so one might see all the prime masters at once? And where you could attach it so the ratchet stays functional?
