I'm buying one for sure, I'm gonna pass on MP-01B and get one of these and if I decide I want a black version I'll get the mini black one. Now if only mini Megatron would come out.

Yeah, this does look awesome. I hope the black version is done in the classic black and gold as opposed to the "Scourge" or "Nemesis" black, teal, and red.

I will not be carrying this one. I would have to invest a couple grand to get their minimum wholesale.

This SHOULD be out the end of the month but I still haven't seen any pre-orders yet which could mean it's either delayed or Takara put the kibosh on it.

Uh ho! An illegal Prime with a story. That makes me want to snap up all that I could (if I weren't po', that is).

It's still not out just the website has been updated, I'm still looking for decent pre-orders. Looks like it comes with quite a bit of stuff. www.igeartoys.com/?page_id=186

I have a hard time wanting to spend that much when I got both of my MP1's for less than that. I really want one, but I think $65 would be the price for me. I am still holding out for the reissue of the ths01.

Well I'm getting one, Prime is one of my heroes and a smaller version of him that's more in-scale with Grimlock and the Seekers is a dream come true. As for feeling guilty about buying a "bootleg" I say to Takara then make one yourself, and considering I've bought every MP and Anniversary version they released I think I've given them enough money to feel bad.

I'm waiting to see if other stores has pre-orders but if not I'll buy straight from them. Here's some more pics of the packaging. www.igeartoys.com/?page_id=186

Hasbro can't be after those guys, it's not even their design, it's Takara's.

But the likeness of Optimus Prime is a registered trademark.

Hasbro can't be after those guys, it's not even their design, it's Takara's. It doesn't actually matter. Outside of Japan Hasbro has the world wide rights to Transformers and can go after anyone using their likeness, even if it isn't a mold they ever used themselves. Hasbro doesn't have much of a history of going after these things, though. Emerje
