25th Optimus now out in Oz.

Yeah I just bought it first because it was $79.96 with the Myer 20% discount. Planning to sell it later if I can find the one with the DVD version. Only want it because of the comic and DVD.

My Encore one with the long smoke stacks certainly looks much better.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to ge the comic (even a reprint, it's been reprinted several times) and the DVD separately? What's on the DVD?

Nah, I'm in the same boat as you. Encore it is.

[iceburn]

well, it's a variant afterall

Yeah true Gok, what's on the DVD anyway? If it's an episode of the G1 that I already have, then I'm happy to stick with the set I got from Myer.

Or you can get both like most of us did...

I believe it contains More than meets the Eye Part 1. It may contain more, but I honestly cannot remember.

The toy inside is inferior to Encore or earlier reissues. The attraction, in a collector's point of view I guess, is the toy itself + all the extras together as a "complete" package. Without the DVD it is a big minus (even though I already have the same episode on multiple DVD releases). If one is to collect different packaging variants then I suppose he would attempt to get both versions. But this one at $100 is really hard to swallow (especially at this time of the year). I'll wait and see if the other retail chains have better prices.

I think this one is more for kids, parents who pick up for their kids, or people who don't have online access or a habit of ordering online.

where do i stand here

[jacksplatt11]

If I buy it, it'll be to keep MISB on display, or open but keep the packaging so it can still be a display piece, a complete package like Kyle said. I certainly won't be buying it for it's version of the G1 Prime mould...
