    Default 2019 (Walmart) Gen1 reissue Optimus

    It looks like Optimus Prime is next. Shocked that it has no trailer.

    Photos were posted to facebook (mirrored here).

    My first thought was a Knock-Off... but I don't think I've seen Optimus KOed without a trailer before. I guess if it is real, we should see an official announcement soon (surprised to not see it listed on online stores before it was seen in-hand).

    It just looks naked wrong without a trailer.

    Well I was expecting some 2019 releases but I wasn't expecting this. The biggest question of all, why does the packaging have rounded edges while the first lot had square edges? Perhaps because this doesn't have the trailer then I can't be passed off as a full copy of the original?

    So bought! I got burned a while back with some encores I got from a dodgy seller where the Trailer was fine, but the cabs had some serious damage issues. 2 of these are a no brainer for me.

    Incidentally, I wonder if these will show up in Cotton On Kids out here like the minicars did - possibly for the $40-$50 mark.

    Hasbro doesn't seem to be worried about smokestacks poking kids eyes out anymore. They left the various releases of MP10 un-snipped.

    That make me more skeptical of it being released.

    Just bought for the stacks to swap over. It's very weak there is no trailer, they must have needed the extra plastic for that other cra.... .... stuff in the picture.

    If you guys really want a trailer then I hear Takara will sell you an Optimus with a trailer for 50,000 JPY.
