    highly doubtful these are legitimately manufactured and stored over 30 years now... remember, kotoys pumped these out a few years back, and other sellers carried them for a while - we seen transparent orange and blue, etc. versions of these... all on cards... all brand spankin' new looking...*

    if these ARE legit as the seller claims, they'd already be AFA'd - that's how I see it anyway...

    That would be exciting if there was a price attached. Unpriced stuff might as well not exist, as far as I'm concerned. :confused:

    Is that the same as "Add to Favorites"? I don't see a pre-order button on each item.

    Look what I found in my friendly neighborhood KO shop.

    From the looks of it, same size as the oversized Optimus, Megatron, Ironhide, and Bumblebee.

    And of course, I bought it. More pics later.

    I have the one that was released earlier, and that does not have knees. This one looks like it comes from a new run, it has new packaging. I was too excited for Starscream that I forgot to check if it has knees or not, however. I'll come back this week to check.

    :) 

    This is everything that it comes with.

    [​IMG]

    It's 13.5 inches tall to the top of the head, with legs bent. The oversized deluxe mechtech weapon is 2-feet long when deployed!

    [​IMG]

    They made a way for Screamer to wield the mechtech weapon, so it won't be a waste like the ones with Megatron and Optimus.

    [​IMG]

    Some size comparisons:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Plastic feels better than previous releases; this time they used matte plastic similar to what some 3rd parties use.

    There are heavy ratchets on the shoulders, hips, and both knees, so he can be pretty stable when posed properly.

    So far, the only issue I noticed is some looseness on the right torso.

    There are lights and sounds. The eyes and chest light up with blinky red lights, and make standard laser firing and jet engine sounds.

    I'll be back with more after I transform it.

    That is super awesome. Thanks for the pictures, Archie. What are we looking at pricewise? Similar to OS Megs?

    The store was selling it for 350 HKD or around 45 USD. There was no Megatron, unfortunately, though I bought mine from the same store for the same price last year.

    Sorry dude, this is my only version of the mold. But looking at a video review, it seems that the only difference is that this one does not have the peg that keeps the legs together in jet mode (though the legs still peg to the plane body).

    Yep, I have leader Optimus. I will try to take pics tomorrow, I'll enjoy jet mode tonight first. :)

    Yes, the landing gear is there and it works.
