Well, I decided to pick up the TF: Prime Arcee and Cliffjumper for myself. I was tempted to get Prime as well, but looking at him in the box, I was a bit underwhelmed.
I'm not even sure I want the Takara version either. I mean, it's OPTIMUS PRIME, so we're bound to get a better one down the road, right? Hopefully one with dual cannons/swords, and either his proper facesculpt or at least the option to display him as such.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a nice figure, but these things cost $30+tax up here, and I just think we'll see something better down the road. I can be patient. I'm pretty sure we won't get a better Cliffy, though, seeing as how he died in the first episode, and there was only one Arcee left, so...
Probably would have picked up Bulkhead too, but they were long gone. I still want a Takara version, but at this point I might be happy with the Hasbro one.
Anyway, I'll be back in Halifax in about a week. If anyone still wants a Prime (I'm making an educated guess that there will be no Bulkheads) or some of the Deluxes then, hit me up. I can try, at least.
good idea picking up Cliffjumper and Arcee. I saw the RID Cliffjumper in hand today and it really didn't look all that great, plus since I have the FE POed from BBTS didnt see any reason to get the RID versions
If you want bulkhead, why not PO him at BBTS? They still have The Takara one up for PO
I just took the eBay plunge and got me a FE Hasbro Optimus for Takara price. On either one I was going to do some paint mods so I figured why not just go ahead and pay the $60. Still think I'm going to keep my RId version just b/c it's Optimus and I have so many incarnations already, what's one more right? it's grown on me.
