I was gonna get this til I saw it in person. The light grey trailer is too bright, and the two tone cab is too obvious. I don't mind Pinkimus but not Two-tonimus. Having the Takara Encore version really didn't help matters when it came to leaving this re-issue back on the shelf. Maybe if it's $50.

It really suprised me how bad it was.
I know people on forums always seems to complain about everything but the ones I saw yesterday were truly crap.
Kind of sad really.

I saw it for $100 today and I thought it didn't look that bad really, but I prefer the US packaging with the flap and all.

Myers Hurstville and Roselands are dangerously overstocked in this toy, each department had at least 20 on the shelf. I wouldn't be surprised if they remain shelf warmers and a few months from now we see them reduced half priced.
To be honest, once I saw it in person it didn't seem as awful as it does in the pictures but it is still a considerably inferior reissue. I went through several of them checking them out, they suffer from bad QC when it comes to the chorme. One of them had this big dent on the front grill while another had what looked like a hacking damage mark on the side as if someone hit it with an axe.
If you plan to buy this toy, check it very carefully before you do.

DO NOT BUY THIS
I bought this...it was definitely not worth the money I paid for it. Seriously do not buy it, unless you want to waste money. I think the 20th anniversary Prime was the best one ever made. This one is dare I say, stupid. And pointless. Unless you want to be disappointed...

What didn't you like about it? I gave mine repro smokestacks and encore primes trailer... he looks great in vehicle mode. I then gave the 25th trailer fresh decepticon labels and put it on my custom g1 decepticon black prime.Originally Posted by Ironhide63

yea well...i suppose that wouldn't be too bad, but I just think its not what most people are expecting...and in my opinion its not exactly the best Optimus Prime ever made. Altho it would be interesting to see some pics...of your custom.
