    I'll be on the lookout for Optimus. He's one of if not the quinessential Transformers in the MP line. This may be my favorite repaint of him thus far.

    I would spend more in gas trying to track down one of these in store than if I just sit at home and pay UPS to ship one from BBTS. Fuck you, Toys R Us.

    I guess its a good chance for someone who missed out on the MP Optimus that came out in 2012. I am liking StarScream though. Though not at 109 though.

    I preordered one even though I have the first MP10, I want to see how he looks, I may end up getting the other OP's from the previous year, it looks like they may do all 12 zodiac's.

    I saw the preorder was up but was surprised by the release date being March and not February. I preordered two from BBTS instead. They've quickly become my goto place for preorders now. I'll grab some from TRU if I can get then on sale or with coupon.

    Preordered at BBTS. This will end up being $127 shipped once it drops in my pile of loot. Great price compared to TFSource or TRU.

    As much as I'd like to get this mold, I am not a fan of the gold bits. I can appreciate that it is a great looking figure, but I'm not sure it would look right in a display with the others. Stand alone, maybe, but just isn't for me.

    This may be one of those cases where TRU put the release date down but will likely ship sooner

    Where do you see colors at ? all I seen was a screen shot of the computer screen listing. I don't see a toy pic lol..

    Ahh that's what I thought that meant.. Ill pass if its that gold version. The gold on him looks too knockoffy for me.. The trailer on the other hand I would love to get, I like the translucent version..

    They should've just reissued the original MP10. This Universe 1.0 repaint is such a wasted opportunity.

    Damnit i agree with you. I think the translucent trailer would look pretty sweet with 20th anniversary optimus. The gold repaint...ugh i will probably wind up getting this just out of principle but i wont be happy about it.

    Also $109 for starscream...bleh

    The trailer would be too small for 20th anniversary. Also I'm going to be seling the trailer when I buy mine. Anyone interested?

    I'm guessing Hasbro told them to yank them till 2/1. We'll see what BBTS does now...
