:(
Hmm I did miss out on Galaxyforce Prime coz of the usual reasons" I think its ugly". but now that he's hard to get Im looking to get one. just wish it didnt came with Crumpy coz I have him already, oh well I can always give it as a gift to my cousin. IF that 2 pack ever does come to Aus shores.
Wow. That couldn't have worked out better for me. I missed out on both and have been trying to find them.
Me wants
you'll all probably have to buy this online, good luck getting it locally
I like my blue windows prime better and I already have green and dark crumpy, so no point me getting it.. *lucky*.. Me sticking to Takara Henkei.. no Universe for me.. I hope.. keke.. So far my itchy fingers hadn't clicked to buy Universe prowl, tankor or sun streaker.. I hope to survive the urge.. :D
want me to show you mine? *haha*Quote:

Well, they re-packaged RID Omega Prime during Cyb so this doesn't suprise me even one iota... :rolleyes:
noted a minor difference in the Cyberkey...
the autobot logo in the original is metallic blue but this 2pack it's gold.
figure-wise...it's the same colours (not so tempted to get but will see how it ends up)
if it's of a different paintjob...i would want it as i'm a sucker for repaints
I just wish the Classics/Henkei/Universe line was all reimaginings of G1.
That's why I started collecting them in the first place. That Crumplezone I have already but does not belong anywhere near my Classics.
A twinpack that's a Leader and a Voyager? That's going to be expensive. :o
I'd be happier with a reissue of the original Cyberton Optimus Prime.
Its not within my collecting spectrum but I can see how it can benefit those who missed out.
What I find strange is that this toy is a bit too new to be reissued. They have a whole library of molds for older, much desired toys that warrant a reissue more than this.
Maybe "reissue" isn't the right term when these are most likely unsold leftovers?
Case in point...Quote:

Kurdt could be right, but didn't they sell fairly well? Unless they over produced them or discovered a lost shipment.Quote:

Hey If I hadn't heard about the bad quality of plastic in that set I would have bought it.Quote:

Prime's repaint looks terrible to me, I would have considered getting this if it was a genuine like-for-like reissue
Muahahaha :D It's alright... won't tempt me, me Takara Tomy supporter!Quote:

It doesn't justify since there are so many other figures that need re-issues more this. But good for those who need a Cybr Prime. (* Still like my blue window one) kekeke :D
Does anyone besides me think that its a weird mix of figures? Like Wing Saber and Prime? More sense. Even Starscream and Prime since they're both pretty major. Crumplezone doesn't make sense.
^^ what Thanatos said. A strange repackaging (not really a reissue), random even for Hasbro.
I don't care either way, I'm more than happy to leave this one on the shelf.
Meh, I'm sure Gok will find some weird obscure comic reference to them both. Probably as little tiny blobs in a small panel somewhere. Good enough for Hasbro. :D
maybe fun toys to have to collect but cybertron characters don't appeal to the little toy collector inside me,i didnt like the characters in the cartoon
Nope. Like dirge said, this looks totally random and IMHO just a waftam. :/Quote:

I think every series since the beginning (Gen1), Australia has missed out on something, but of all the toys in Cybertron, we were only one figure short of a complete release.
As someone who keeps track of what is released here, I thought that was pretty amazing.
I will get that so i can have the different colour for Prime!
This one's for Roller... "We got all of Machine Wars!" :)
I could've sworn that some SA members found the Galaxy Force Optimus Prime???Quote:

Wasn't Crumplezone stuck together with Soundwave/CD Scattershot?
I don't this he was. I know the repaint/remould Dark Crumplezone was. I remember picking him up up with Soundwave from BigWQuote:

Wow Cybertron Soundwave shelf-warmed? I'm still after a Cybertron Soundwave with no luck in tracking one down... at a reasonable price.
Soundwave didnt shelfwarm.Quote:

You should really try ebayQuote:

Buy it now - US$26 + shipping.. Complete loose set. Bibyco selling it at a hefty price of $65. Last year when I was buying from them, deluxes were $26.99 and voyagers $39.99. Now they seemed to have doubled in price! :eek:
Stompy, a few sellers on here have Cybertron Soundwaves going right now!
Llamatron - $35 (Cybertron loose and complete in good condition with instructions and back of box.)
Zippo - $70 (Galaxy Force MISB)
I really recommend Cyb Soundwave! He's an awesome figure full of playability :) (hell, this gallery convinced me to get him in the first place :D :o)
Thanks for the help trunks, mel, kurdt & Pulse! I thought I scanned thru the saleyards, obviously with a not fine enough comb. I'll weight up my options and see what I do.
Btw what was the point of "Galaxy Force OP"? I know its just a repaint tick that Hasbro does but is there any significance to his recolour to black instead of blue? Is it reffering to its Japanese counterpart?
Why on earth are they repackaging Prime with Crumplezone? The two have nothing in common, they don't combine, and one isn't the leader of their faction. They'd have done better to do a Prime/Megatron two-pack, or with Leobreaker, Wing Sabre, or any of the other figures which combine with Prime.
