The Amazon Japan Exclusive Black Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime has just been released and is making its way into the hands of fans and collectors everywhere. This cool redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime recolors the character into a black colorscheme with gold flames and blue Energon swords. He was only available to those who purchased the Revenge of the Fallen DVD through Amazon Japan, and is by far the largest of the DVD exclusive Transformers ever offered to date. To celebrate, we have a selection of images and information for you – in box images courtesy of 2005 Boards member Venon, out of box images (including Power Up Optimus Prime combination images with Jetfire) courtesy of 2005 Boards member c717905, and comparisons with Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime and Buster Optimus Prime by Optimus747. c717905 also provides some excellent first impressions on the new toy – check them out by clicking on the discuss button.

Oh, and there I was so happy with the Japamazon Prime for 11,000 JPY and the following months I was watching the price going
down
down
down
🙁 and I felt a bit bad about me and VERY BAD for those who bought it at original price.
On the other hand, I bought the toy with my old (exp in March) payment card which was accepted by the system without problems.
When I try to buy something else with my current card, it gets rejected.
So yeah, I am glad I even was able to buy it.
I think it's a nice figure of Prime, but not worth the original price at all.

DAMN IT. I might finally have a job and an opportunity to buy this and they decide to charge full price again. Guess I shouldn't be surprised as I knew this would happen eventually. Maybe I can take this as a sign that I did get the job and now I just have to wait and hope it goes back on clearance again for as cheap as it was before it ended.

It's back to full price now, I grabbed 2 more during the sale.

Current price is just over 5000 Yen. All of us who bought one at or near full price are damn fools apparently.

Can you use cash back sites for a yen currency purchase I wonder.

Damn, I might be tempted to bite…

Not open as much as it is that the region distribution was redone from DVDs and Japan is in the same region as North America for BR.
I guess the lesson to learn is when something seems that overpriced, it will be going on clearance almost right away.

I bought mine last Thursday while it was still for JPY 11,060. I was tempted to wait if the price would drop juuuuust a bit lower.
Yesterday I noticed the price is back at 15,800 JPY. Lucky me, that's what I call timing!
Now I can't wait until it arrives, yaaaay

Mine came to Canada by Fed Ex if that helps, and they hit me with customs fees.
RedAlert Rescue
It's a shame the Tax would be such a killer on it to the U.K.
I wonder if it comes via parcel Force or some other service and how that would effect the UK customs fees ?
marshall dusty
hahaha i'm an idiot. i was looking at the US site. sweet thanks!

Double post.

I got mine the other day. He looks really great in person, photos do not do him justice. I love the blue swords.

This is my TF grail. So glad I got it for Christmas. I think I like the gray plastic better, since i don't have to worry about the paint chips. Although it would have been nice if they used the HA skids like silver plastic… It looks nice.
But still my favorite prime. Also my swords are really tight on the spring and the ball joints are all tighter than the first release!
