edit, lol. not that guy, that's good.

That is what I was thinking.

That is what I wanted to purchase.Does anyone have any input on the Special Edition Prime?
Is he worth paying the extra to buy him from someone else?Thanks

If you're talking about the one that is the same as the one that came in the 2-pack with Megatron, than I think it's a piece of crap. I didn't like the transformation as well as the fact that the body never stayed straight. It was always twisted a bit at the waist. The Megs tank was even worse.

I don't think much of the prime/megs special editions either. If you were talking about dragstrip and overkill maybe, but not the prime/megs... in my humble opinion.

Honestly, the box it gets shipped in, everytime from China, comes BEAT UP. Just hope they pad out your product well. Also your more likely to get charged DUTY or some kind of extra fee at the post office. Otherwise they ship rather quickly.

Thank you all very much. It seemed too good to be true to me and it seems it might me.

As for the figure itself maybe I will just wait for one more local and decide then.Your opinions may have saved me from a big mistake.Again thank you.

well, I've only ordered one figure from China...shipped in about 2 weeks easy, no hastle.

All really depends on who you buy from man; this guy had 100% feedback on eBay so I trusted him ^^

I have ordered official real Transformers and knock off Transformers from China several times through ebay and websites like kotoys.com or chimungmung.com. They usually ship very quickly it seems to take about 3 weeks or faster to get your item from China. They can get the item cheaper since they are not paying alot for the cost of transportation charges we see here hidden in the cost of the item. The last item I ordered from China took 12 days to get a real Nintendo Wii controller plus nunchuck controller for $15.00 with shipping only $5.00. I figure I saved about $60 buying that item from China. When buying from China off ebay always check the sellers feedback before buying.

As the guy who has purchased tons and tons of samples and various other toys from China, I can tell you I've never ever paid any extra fee.

While I would echo the "buyer beware" sentiment, I bought my Star Convoy from this guy with free shipping.
Looking at his store all the stuff is free shipping.

It came quickly, well packed, and un-damaged.
