OMG!!! One of my favorite figures (which I never got the chance to buy when it was out), after my hopes were trashed with the Platinum Edition "RiD" Ultra Magnus ended up being the Weaponizer, I never would have expected it to be reissued.

Quite excited now, (and no, I don't want to buy a loose one).

Now the next step is to reissue Ultra Magnus...

So expenseeeeve! I'd be interested in getting a reissue actually... the chrome on my original's effed up. But not at that price -- phwoar!

Omega Prime, wasn't it?

It is, but that's just BBTS, Gok. Let's wait and see what price the other retailers offer

I'll be buying this and God Magnus if he is also reissued. I just hope they fix the tire problems. I wouldn't mind plastic tires so the figure last a lot longer than the current one.

EDIT: as far as price goes if this really is C-001 and not RID Prime it will be a Takara release so HLJ should be much cheaper than this BBTS price which is only a place holder anyway.

Agree on this point. This is a $70 dollar toy at most. It will probably be priced at $100 if it ever hits retail locally and would need a damned sweet deco to fetch that price.

Correct. I believe I got the piece at $69.00 the last time and I can assure you it wasn't worth $100+! with the material in it and size. Throw in the Ultra Magnus and combine first and then we talk about $100+ price.

The +/- $69 dollars you & i would've payed in 2001/2 (when the toy would've been available at retail) is equal to about $94 today.

Remember BBTS don't even know if this is true yet. So they certainly have no idea how much it will cost. That is just a placeholder.

I'd be interested in this. But not at $150.

That would be metroplex in base mode for me if its that price.
