    I wish Hasbro would do stuff like this, make just a few extra weapons and offer them up as store exclusive freebies, seems to work pretty well for videogames.

    10,000 sets sounds pretty good. As well as Mechtech joint, the grips are compatible with Striker Optimus Prime's hands and he can hold them.

    I need these! I wonder if they come with a purchase from their online shops.

    Those are pretty sweet. Maybe I'll get lucky and BBTS will carry them?

    ...what's so different from the previous Battle Blade OP?

    BBTS will probably try to get a hold of it, and charge double. I do business with them since PoL is very convenient, but man do they like to overcharge for "exclusives" they bring into the store.

    I would so buy that! Think of all the weapons my Striker could have!

    Edit: Not sure anyone else noticed, but that have official images of DD09 Soundwave, DA33 Air Raid, and DA34 Leadfoot.

    kind of sucks they make it an exclusive when it could have been included with striker prime already.

    need to get these now.

    Those look pretty sweet, but I'm happy enough with the built-in swords on my Buster Prime.

    We seriously do not need these Blade, give us more Exclusive figures rather than weapons

    Dammit, more shit to buy. These really should have been included with Striker Prime rather than as an add-on.

    Dammit Takara. First there was Jetwing Prime. Now there's Striker Prime. And now there are limited edition SWORDS for Striker Prime.

    Does anyone know of a good shelter for my wallet, because it's being raped by a large Japanese toy conglomerate.

    A: Your wife's purse?

    I hate buying swords for figures that cost almost as much as the figure...
