I got my HLJ payment invoice email this morning and sorted it so I'm ever more eager now!!
I probably should have let him sit in my Private Warehouse till I had next months items as well, but oh well, Primal is making a solo trip.Quote:

The other BW I have will stand proud alongside this beast.
For those interested, this guy hit shelves for sale today here in HK.
And now the wait on PC begins...
Me too! 😎Quote:

Have they ever made a feature specifically for a future extra (with no use for the main release figure) on any other MPs?Quote:

That precedent makes me think they'll do the same for Primal.
Didn't Ultra Magnus already come with those alternate faces anyway? I don't have mine out so I can't check. And of course now that I'm trying to google it, I can't find any clear images Haha :rolleyes:Quote:

And a couple of swappable faces (that the original release had - or at least had something that used the same fixing/hole) is different to a whole new extra that you won't be able to buy separately, basically leaving that hole in the original release Primal's arm for no reason. It feels strange for TT to go to the trouble of moulding a peg hole for a possible future repaint, when all they would have to do is "remold" an alternate panel if they decide to release a repaint/retool.
Seems like a weird move if that's what TT end up doing.
The new eyes that came with Delta Magnus are the rectangular and bug-eyed ones:Quote:

It makes them money, because a collector will be compelled to buy the repaint/new figure. Kind of like how people just bought Soundblaster to get Ratbat.Quote:

Ah ok fair enough I can see the difference now. :)Quote:

No, no, don't be sorry! I just didn't want anyone to think I had some sort of insider knowledge on the matter! You know how rumours start on the internet! :eek: :DQuote:

Just think of it this way, Malibu Stacy has a new hat.Quote:

Damn, I almost want a second one to keep in beast mode
Shipped let's see how long to get here.
That came up a few months ago in this topic, and it is worth quoting myself here... :pQuote:

A couple of video reviews -- one in Japanese and another in English from Optibotimus.
The Optibotimus review is in better quality, but the Japanese review shows some of the features that Optibotimus neglects to show, and is a lot more fun in general.
Also some awesome shots from Sixo:

My order with PC is still coming up as "unfulfilled". The same could be said about every Beast Wars fan this year.
Shipped if you bought from Japan , I will post pics when I get it.Quote:

Bet you wish they'd stop monkeying around with you! :p
Just as long as Verno does go Ape over it :D
I was thinking this is probably one of the best monkey figures period, not just amongst Transformers. I need a skyscraper model for some King Kong photos!
And then it dawned on me, they should totally make a Donkey Kong version... they could base it off his wind up toy design from the Mario vs DK series:

Hey it would beat a universe coloured repaint right?! :eek:
You just made my day!!!Quote:

I think the nearest thing I have to a chicken may be the Tyrannosaurus Rex.Quote:

In the Transformers universe Optimus Primal is a silverback gorilla. Despite his name, B'Boom isn't a baboon but actually a mandrill, which is a close relative of the baboon but still an entirely different species of monkey (both are Old World monkeys). Then there's Bantor whose beast mode is a fusion between a baboon and a tiger. Fuzors... the Transformers' answer to The Wuzzles. ;)
The wuzzles were awesome
