This is so much more amazing than I ever could have imagined.

Just look at how amazing these pictures are.

Apart from G1, could this be the most sought after mainline toy in TF history?

AIE Games (https://www.aiegames.com.au/product/transformers-studio-series-commander-class-the-transformers-the-movie-optimus-prime-86-31--16675.html) has listed it for Oct 1 release. Hopefully it sees a very wide release.

And here I was thinking what could've been at the Big W Toy Sale. Thanks for reminder v_76!

I totally understand the desire to save money on yet another Optimus Prime. But I love this so much I was like, screw it, I'm going to buy him, pay for express shipping and pay for Gamesmen's priority dispatch.

So glad I sold off my Earthrise Optimus a few months back for good money now.

last year's BF sale, Ultra Magnus was $108

Assuming someone at Gamesmen didn't accidently click the wrong order when they were shipping out one of my orders. My order for SS86 Commander Class Optimus Prime is on it's way.

[valkyrie_76]

So it looks like if you didn't get one now, next time wont be till January at least. For me, I have no problem as I have Jetfire hopefully from Amazon preordered and a few other things in the next month or so.

There’s still JB and regular retail (well maybe big w and myer) who could get stock but no preorders yet

I think a few of us are hoping for that.

If it makes you feel any better. My Optimus is still sitting in a container at Brisbane Airport. The stupid weather has cancelled/delayed flights.

apparently the heels are assembled wrong.

Hmmm. Should I order now or wait for a ‘fixed’ version?

They can be fixed.

This link here......and you really cant tell the difference. Reminds me of the Galvatron shoulder problem.
