Toy Review - Platinum Edition Optimus with Trailer & Sideswipe

[CVonC]

This is now on sale @ Myer for $99. You can also get a 10% off using "TOYS10" code (but you will have to pay $9.95 for shipping unless you buy something else to make the total over $100 for free shipping) or present this voucher at the store.

There's way too much chrome on OP's body and that's what's putting me off from buying it. I do like the red to yellow flames though.

Myer are also selling the OP & Grimlock Platinum Edition for $99. There's less chrome on OP's body but too much on his head though. This one transformers in 18 steps compared to the 15 in the trailer set.

HALP! I can't decided which one to get!!

can't seem to edit my own post...

I also wanted to say that I prefer the blue sword & gun on the OP & Grimlock pack as shown in these pics

Lastly, I'm inclined to believe 18 steps is better than 15 steps. I have the original OP from TF1 and man that takes an eternity to transform! But I love the fact that it does!

Thanks for bringing up the Myer discounts.

Wasn't that interested in purchasing either at $150+ but at $90 a set it's quite tempting to pick one up as I have $120 in gift cards.

For me it comes down to better vehicle modes in the trailer set versus better alt modes, paint schemes and weapons in the double leader set - still doesn't make the choice of which any easier.

I guess I always wanted a leader grimlock in a nicer colour, however I could barely sit through that mess of a movie and the g1 homage/masterpiece trailer could be easier to digest.

Someone decide for us!

why do you prefer the vehicle mode in the trailer set? i like the light blue semi-translucent side windows in the double leader set compared to the opaque dark blue side windows in the trailer set.

as for grimlock.. how about this $71 then and now set from Toys R Us? and yeah gosh that movie was so bad.. still have to watch it though being a transformers fan

Someone decide for us!

lol ikr!

oh and my mistake, i have the OP from ROTF. got it when i went to japan in 2010 (along with a bumbebee that's now missing his guns and knee cap due to nephews and kids coming over )
