Yeah 'cause you'd be too busy stroking your Supreme RotF Devy. jk


...Just got him today. No issues thus far; I think he's great for $30.

^ Good to hear something positive about the figure. I'll probably open mine later tonight when I finish up some things.

I went today to look at him closely and I've decided to wait for a better sale. I think I just got used to the deeper red. Maybe at $20... maybe...

But just imagine how much more complete your sig. will be with a pinkish Prime in the mix.

I paid $40 for him awhile ago and felt wrong about it. Impulse buy. Pretty lame for a 25th anniversary edition. I think $25 is more realistic for this version.

Yup a buck a year sounds about right... too bad it doesn't have the groovy artwork and DVD like the US version.

FINALLY it goes on sale for a reasonable price. i may buy two!

I bought him today, and I think he's fine for the price. After 25yrs I finally got to buy prime at retail. Comparing him to my G1 prime, yes the colors are different but now I can seal away G1 prime now and mess around with the new one. Also, it seems the price is just right for a lot of other people. There are reports that they're flying off the shelves now.

One final thing to think about. In 1984 the original prime cost $20. If you adjust for inflation, he'd cost $40 today. So in my opinion, it's a solid deal and worth it especially if you don't already own a version of this.

Hello there guys! Just wanted to ask if anybody would be able to pick one up for me? I travel to Toronto often, stay either in downtown area or Mississauga, and would appreciate it because wanted to get one for my nephew's birthday in September! Love getting kids into what dad had and not the takes-15min-to-transform-and-kids-lose-interest figures coming out (although I love classics/universe/movie/masterpiece for myself). It will never arrive nor can be ordered (unless for massive inflated price) for Quebec because Optimus doesn't say "Bonjour" or "Comment ca va"with a bilingual comic book and toy stickers! Bulls*%t as always. If anybody can hook a brother up, I have a commerative myself but don't want to re-gift it! Have some figure shops here if I can grab something to help someone also!
