Almost all these companies end up partnering with someone who has the license so they can sell their product in the states.

I’m sure XM would like to sell their product over here.

Who wouldn’t.

I was about to say that is complete false information. Not sure we’re that came from. I do know that Bryan Tan collects P1 pieces, but to be owned by them lol that’s ridiculous

It’s not that ridiculous to believe a company would be bought by another.

All this partnering stuff that’s going on with Sideshow is suspicious. Are they trying to create a collectibles conglomerate or something. Lol.

"AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!

With this iconic battle cry, XM is excited to announce that our first Transformers Premium Collectibles series statue, Optimus Prime, is up for PO from tonight 11 p.m. (GMT +8) for 2 weeks before we close online orders for ES tabulations. Optimus Prime is slated to ship THIS YEAR! Countries XM can sell and ship to include Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines.

XM is also taking this chance to introduce a new additional Payment Option apart from the usual Deposit. Collectors can now enjoy more savings if they opt to pay in full. Standard Members get 10% off SRP (SGD220 off!), and Prestige Members get 15% (5% on top of the usual Prestige discount = SGD330 off!). For customers who have previously pre-ordered Prime (at events etc), we will also be extending the same payment option discount. The XM team will be sending emails to all existing pre ordered customers to extend the offer, valid till 9th May only.

We have also included Shipping Rates for countries we can ship to, which will be useful for collectors to plan their purchase. You can find it at the bottom of the product page. Be warned, it's a big impressive piece and will come in 2 boxes!

Cue music: Transformers G1 Cartoon Theme

Crafted from scratch, every nut, bolt and wire is lovingly designed and sculpted ground up by a team in mad love with the Transformers G1 era of cartoons. Inspired by one of our childhood favorite 80s cartoon, we took the G1's iconic form design and XMized them with modern details, to better fit in today's expectations of sophisticated robotry designs. We have spared no effort and designing these original pieces took our core team almost 2 years, resulting in an amazing balance of retro beauty with a sleek modern details. And of course, how can we leave out XM's love of switch out extras? This statue comes with Energon Axe, Leadership Matrix and intricately detailed Cybertron Base and we've even thrown in the Rocket Booster Backpack to give Optimus the added firepower against the Decepticons. This is not all - what's a transformer without it's alternate mode? Yes, this statue comes with a companion statue, the iconic Freightliner FL86 cab over semi truck so collectors can enjoy the beauty of both bot and alternate mode at the same time! Prime would be proud!

Enjoy the photos! Head over to XM Optimus Prime for more details on the piece and to purchase Prime!"

Looks good. Too much $$$ for my hobby now.

Hahahaha that’s why you have Prime1 charging even more lol. I consider their prices for Transformers outrageously expensive for us International buyers lol. Soon nobody will be able to buy anything unless it’s local lol.

Also think so. According to Ben Ang, additional switch-out parts for Optimus Prime (e.g. hologram arm) will be included with Starscream. However, as of now, licensor agreement is still pending. Hence, so far there has been no official announcement. But even without these parts, Optimus Prime will be an amazing statue.
 
Looks like Prime was pushed back to first qtr 2019. Kinda bummed, but if they need some extra time to get him just right, I’m okay with that.
 
This just part of collecting now. From what Jerry who use to own PCS wrote too few production companies and way too many products, then throw on that no new ones open. That was start of 2017, I can just imagine it now, This is also partly why we have to pay so much for pieces now.
