Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

Jealous, so tempted to.

Also my first order with the Bamba has gone well to reassure anyone, just got my shipping confirmation for Chief after ordering way back in September so no need to have any concerns!

Now to weigh up if I can afford Prime or not....

Also, Am i the only one that thinks this is excellent value for money these days?!
Look at the freaking thing! its so intricate and well made, and for around £270, its a good £40 cheaper than the latest prices for HT Mk45 or War Machine MkII, and a good few inches taller!

Yeah I got my tracking for Master Chief too. What carrier do you plug the number into? I'm getting nothing for all the ones k can think of.



Anyways, yes, Bee was confirmed to be too tall to be in scale. Apparently none of these 4 will actually be in scale with each other, but they're relatively close. Here's hoping we'll get Sentinel and Shockwave.

The only other one I'd consider getting is Barricade, he was my favorite Decepticon. Doubt he would ever get made though.

Shockwave is the only Decepticon design that I can stomach. I hate them as a whole while I really like some of the Autobot designs.

I liked Barricade, Brawl, and Blackout. First movie had the best bots to me.

Optimus looks good in all except the 4th one. I can't stand Bumblebee. The whole no talking crap was taken way too far.

I agree... The first movie had the best bots. I would buy Decepticons from that movie.. Just not Megatron or Starscream. I liked the Bumblebee not talking thing in the first movie.. Got old the the follow ups. Just fix his voice box already. Prime had an arm ripped off and they could fix that! Lol

I haven't watched the first movie for years.. Suddenly I'm in the mood for it. It had the typical Michael Bay nonsense, but overall it was a pretty awesome movie. I was never a Transformers fan growing up, so I was in awe the first time I heard Prime's voice booming out.

I do agree about Bumblebee in the first one, the scene when he was talking through the radio, right before the other Autobots arrived was cool.

I put the first Transformers movie in the same group as the first Jurassic Park and the first Avengers. There was a certain magic to it because it was the first time that I was able to see something I love come to life realistically. I had the same sense of awe during that scene when the Autobots came together and transformed in unison for the first time as I did the first time I saw a herd of dinosaurs in JP or when I first saw all of the Avengers on screen together. Yep.. I think I will watch it again his weekend! Lol

Unfortunately I cant get any tracking information out of the link providing in the email either, Suppose I will just wait for it to arrive at the door but dont think it will be staying long!

this thing looks killer....
for those of you that have bought from them before... are their figures pretty close to the proto pics we see? just hesitant to pull the trigger on this much $ if the final product waivers from the pics we've seen!

The paint application looks "mass-produced" especially when it comes to weathering. Apart from that, I'd say what you see is what you get.

I'm placing my order next week.
I just hope the Prime1 busts don't get charged via SS for at least 2 more weeks.

Can anybody venture a guess as to when Sideshow will put this up for PO?

Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

Wondering that too. It's already up on BBTS.

 

[Wah]

Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

yup. that's where i decided to preorder this at. no down. cheaper price. why not.

Factor in the quote for shipping from bbts ($19) and its same price. But doesn't include his gun. Only advantage is not paying upfront but you loose out on his gun...

Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

I just want to Flexpay it and use my RP.

Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

And on SS, you can wait until he's eligible for the $20 code, probably negating the shipping. That and flex pay makes it the choice for me.

If you buy the exclusive you always have the option of selling the blaster. Most collectors are not going to have it. It might go for a pretty decent amount on eBay.

Pretty much this. I had someone begging me to sell the extra gun my Atlas came with for about $110. When you're spending nearly half a grand on this thing to begin with, I'll never understand the point in buying from a middleman unless you literally cannot afford it at the time.

Re: 3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

Anytime I can land the exclusive that's the one I will get. Sometimes those exclusive items are hard to get your hands on after the fact. I was late to the game when I purchased the non exclusive Hot Toys 1/4 Batman. I'm still looking for a damn empty cowl.
