Premium Leader Optimus Prime & Megatron out in Hong Kong

[QuadESL63]

We are flooded with movie repaints and they are selling the new stuffs already. Why oh why they always start selling the new stuffs over there earlier than us esp. when they still have started running the series? Seriously, I'm sick of the movie stuffs... I like some of the them (hence I bought them) but I think the repaints and movie scenes are getting a bit out of hand.

May be I should move back there LOL

In a perfect world, this is what the line should have been :

-Premium Leader Prime (with phrases from the movie)
-Premium Leader Megatron (with phrases from the movie)
-Leader Brawl
-Premium Voyager Ratchet (Best Buy)
-Premium Voyager Ironhide (but no Autobot symbol on the hood and no tinted windows)
-Premium Voyager Megatron (Best Buy)
-Premium Voyager Prime (Robovision)
-Premium Voyager Blackout (regular version + markings + painted Scorpy)
-Premium Starscream (Deep Space)
-Voyager Incinerator
-Voyager Thundercracker
-Voyager Evac
-Premium DLX Battlemask CC Bumblebee (Capture set)
-Premium DLX Barricade (no tinted windows, First encounter)
-Premium DLX Jazz (no tinted windows)
-DLX '77 Bumblebee (with clear windows)
-DLX Longarm (Final Stand)
-DLX Scorponok (Desert Attack)
-DLX Brawl
-DLX Proto Prime
-DLX Proto Starscream
-DLX Payload
-DLX Swindle
-DLX Dropkick
-DLX Stockade
-DLX Landmine
-DLX Bonecrusher
-DLX Salvage
-DLX Dreadwing
-DLX Overcast
-DLX Wreckage

Forget about alternate redecos for already existing characters (no G1 Jazz, no Battle Damage this or that, etc.). Forget about repaints from previous lines. Ok for repaints/remolds to create new characters (Overcast, Salvage, etc.), it needs to be done. Some figures (BB, Barricade, Scorpy, Payload) only available in movie scenes with humans, but at a lower price point.

Yeah, in a perfect world, Hasbro would have made a quality, movie accurate, scale comparable (eg: Bonecrusher NOT a deluxe) figure the first time around. Honestly if that were the case, I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks more for a figure to have something done right the first time. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride...

In this case, Bonecrusher could have been a Voyager (and take the place of Rescue Ratchet and all the other repaints) and Starscream a Leader (and take the place of the unnecessary Nightwatch Prime).

I'm looking forward to the Premium Prime hitting Canadian retail.

Keep me posted and thanks for the news.
