I was on RK and got all the way to the pay now button, and I stopped and closed the page... I can't justify over $200AUD for it... as cool as it might look. I would rather save my money and get another MP.

YOTG soundwave along with soundwave and KFC Transistor
Transistor looks great in that photo! Also, from the way Soar is swinging his fingers and the way Giant has his creepy grin on it looks like everybody getting ready to parteeey! ;)
Question for those with Soundwave....
How's his Tape eject mechanism? Need to know if mine is dodgy, or mould wear is making it screwy
if anything its better than the other hasbro one. maybe a bit too goodQuote:

Not a Chinese though i believe they do bring good luck :)
At least that is how i convinced my wife when i bought the year of the dragon ultimate optimus
Hope they will also be on sale at Myer just like yOH Optimus
I have heard nothing about these products appearing anywhere here? Has anyone confirmed anything?
S$219.90. Looks like it will be landing here at around the $250 mark after all.Quote:

I ask because I notice Toys R Us HK just got their stock on the weekend (drastically reduced numbers compared to last years YOTH figures). They are also AU$33 more expensive in HK TRU than on the street here, although far more convenient.
I've taken a good look at both the YOTG figures up close and I have to say I really don't like Optimus. The orange/clear mix doesn't do the truck any favours. The only cool part of it is the artwork on the box. So for one of the first times ever I'm skipping an Optimus mould.
Soundwave on the other hand actually really suits the colour scheme and looks very cool indeed. If I wasn't restricted by budget I would probably purchase him just for the cool factor.
yotg soundwave looks awesome with some colour changing led lighting :)
I will probably find out at the Toyfair in March.Quote:

Ok I'll stop derailing the thread now. How about that brown Soundwave huh!
its much more intense in person. especially now that the whole 5m strip of lights is in that one cube
Mine arrived today from HK Ehobbybaseshop store, and the artwork suggests someone had a good idea in their head about these being gold and silver toys, but all the transparent parts makes them look unfinished... like they did in the official images.
I think if the transparent parts were black plastic, it would make the "gold" and silver paint (and silver chrome) pop. But the transparent plastic draws your eye away from the paint and chrome.
And the pink... I was NOT expecting Optimus to have such bright pink plastic (the official images was too faded to even notice it.
That clash of colour, spoils the look of this "Premium" Platinum figure more than the clear plastic does.
And inside the box lids there is a description about YOTG personality traits, and how they relate to that toy character (yes, both Optimus and Soundwave are apparently of the same character type)... and does that mean that Optimus has the character traits of Snake, Horse and Dragon as well?
One positive is that I like how the Megatron pistol for Soundwave uses hard plastic, that should help prevent the handle from breaking. (yes, the Masterpiece Soundwave did as well... but all those MP Optimus toys with the mini-Megatron had a soft plastic, and some of mine broke easily)
On a neutral point... for some reason the stripe paint deco on the cassettes makes me think more of the Gen1 Autobot cassettes Rewind and Eject than the Decepticon cassettes Rumble and Frenzy. Not sure why, maybe its the colours or the thickness of the stripes.
Time to dig out the previous versions of both moulds for some comparisons...
With Chinese New Year in just three days, the YOTG toys have been released in America... showing up at Retail (ToysRUs) and in stock at online stores like BBTS.
Prices in America range from US$150-210 for each, compared to Hong Kong online sources that still have them in stock for US$110-125.
Release dates and details for Australia are not yet known, but might be released at Toyfair next month.
