    That two pack Prime is probably my favorite combo- has the gun and some of Buster's better paint apps but has the originals face plate. However, I have the original and Buster, so I REALLY think there's no way Hasbro will sit on that and not release it here, and I will wait for that. I could be wrong, but if I am, I can live with the ones I already have.

    But Foster dude, it says that the two pack is "exclusive" only to Asia... :D 


    Asia Exclusive Transformers 2 ROTF 2 pack of Optimus Prime & Redeco Jetfire (COMBO set)

    Hasbro might import this to the US... but who knows its entirely up to them.... :D

    Lots of things called "exclusive" wind up not being so exclusive. BWR Primal vs. Megatron for example. :thumbs2: :dunce :sly2:

    I somewhat agree... but your closely speaking in relative terms now.

    As far as the packaging changing? Yeah, that's true.

    I'll gladly take the Jetfire from somebody who doesn't want it, if it's for a reasonable price + shipping. Jetfire isn't the greatest toy, but at least then I can have a more color accurate one :p

    You can probably bet fairly good money the new tooling on the toy was designed with US safety tests in mind.

    I don't necessarily think Buster Prime will be released in the US, but i'd be surprised if the new parts don't make it to a Prime repaint before TF3.

    Do we have any news on who'll be shipped with Leader Starscream? Maybe in whatever case assortment follows that?

    I think the gun was cut from the original Leader Prime because of budget, not because it would fail safety tests. It's safe (until you stick those swords into your eyes).

    I am so tempted to get this right now. I did some calculating and here is some of my options.

    Robot Kingdom $146.45 ($109.90 + $36.85 shipping (Registered Air Mail Parcel) About 3 weeks)
    TFSource Pre order $174.02 9$159.95 + $14.07 shipping (FedEx Ground) Arrival time unknown)
    BBTS $171.29 ($164.99 + $6.30 POL shipping (UPS 2nd day) Most likely next week. I'll be lucky if I get my POL by Thurs.)

    Who do you trust more from your previous experiences, if any with those choices, then go from that...

    not that I want Jetfire, but the gun for Prime is worth it. Glad I never bought him.

    I have done business with all 3 and they are all reliable. Robot Kingdom is the cheapest, but you will have to wait for your items. TFSource and BBTS are both good if you want the items quicker, but you will pay more for the items. I bought from Robot Kingdom since I'm in no hurry to get them and I have a backlog of toys that I still have to open.
