    Wish they released just the jet parts as an add-on. I'll probably be in Japan when this gets released; not sure I'd buy it though given since I already have two of the originals.

    Really cool and would like to get this, but I'm fucking sick n tired of these rediculouslee high prices. It's been over a year now since I last bought a transformer...and I know it will be a longtime til I buy another one. Getting way to expensive, way to small, way to simple/cheap looking and WAY to simple to transform.

    Hope that stand is included, 'cause the original can barely stand on his own.

    I know! that was the only thing I wasn't prepared for when I got mine. It was a bit of a letdown. The only way i'd consider this is if it came with screen accurate guns and a stand.

    This is awesome, I wouldn't mind having two revoltech optimus'. They're a good desk toy, one for each room. :p

    I already own Revoltech DotM Optimus.

    But I am a weak man, and as such, they shall have more of my money.

    Why aren't they releasing more G1 stuff? I think it would sell well, considering the Fall of Cybertron is on its way out.

    Not sure yet. They might, they might not. The guns that the first DotM Revoltech Optimus comes with should suffice though.

    Same here.

    What kind of posing do you guys have him in? I can understand if you're having difficulty with the "stand on one foot and karate kick the air"-pose or the "lean forward on one leg whilst holding five guns strapped together"-pose that's on the packaging, but he's a very stable figure providing you have both feet on the ground.

    But I do agree, the stand will be nice, because I don't foresee Jetpack Optimus being very stable with that huge thing on his back.

    Or in this case, not at all.

    I think this figure looks awesome, and I didn't pick up the first release so even better. Will wait on the price before I decide if I'm getting it though.

    Also, besides the sound of my wallet being defeated, I believe this is the perfect place for me to test my new sig.
