Another Transformers toy sighting for you all now, and this one is a premium item for those of you who like the more expensive special edition releases! The Platinum Series Ultra Magnus, a large Weaponizer class version of Transformers Prime Ultra Magnus as seen in Season 3 of the cartoon who sports the Forge of Solus Prime. He’s turning up at Toys R Us stores in California, with sightings at Torrance, CA and Los Feliz, CA.
Happy hunting friends!

I got mines while making a brief stop in Australia about a month ago. It was on sale and i believe i got it for 40. not the best mold i own to this date. but as a fan i had to have it.
The box is really nice though

Saw the platinum Prime here(Western Australia) about a month ago in Kmart, a few days ago I saw this one at Target, I like it but won't buy it as one I dislike the hollow legs of the mold and 2 I'd rather get the original Prime Magnus since he had his own mold/design and wasn't an Optimus clone.

I should have posted this back in June when it became available in Australia. Oh well.
TFXProtector
Oooh. Yeah. I'd have bought that.

A remolded FE Optimus would have been WAY better

Platinum's not the problem. The mold is the problem. Some of the Platinum stuff is really nice, especially the Omega Supreme and Predaking. One crappy mold won't ruin it for the rest.

Crummy figure. Don't understand what they were thinking with this 'platinum' line.

Eh, I think I'm sticking with the voyager for three reasons. 1. The Voyager's shoulders fold up much better in truck mode. 2. The voyager is more in scale with the other deluxe and voyager toys. 3. I just spent $70 on BF Predaking and don't feel like blowing any more money on a figure I don't really need for my Prime collection.

This is nice and all b ut I like the voyager better.

I'm definitely getting this from BBTS. I don't care about the Forge. I will trade it to whomever brings me the head of Energon Omega Supreme!

A local scalper got the only case of 2 at my local TRU today. I felt bad for him, he must not have known that they're cheaper on BBTS, that's where I got mine. I am guessing that anyone who is looking for one is going to know where to find them? He will be returning them soon.

If they release Optimus and Omega in stores, then I definitely want them. Not to mention the YOTH Starscream.

Wait they're now releasing them at retail in the US?
Mindmaster
Wait, they're getting a U.S release now?
Any chance on getting U.S releases of Grimlock VS Bruticus and Predaking, or is that a negatory?

I have to agree Platinum UM does look decent but at that $60+ pricetag,forget it I would rather spend that on something else like a second MP Acid Storm not some Voyager Size figure.But if I could find him one day for like $20 or $25 I might would get him but not $60.

I don't think I'll complain about not getting any new product ever again. OMG, eveything is coming out at the exact same time locally! My poor wallet has had such abuse these past 2 weeks with MP Soundwave, MP Acid Storm, Target TFPBH stuff coming in, new Cyberverse commanders, Ruination Wreckers…I'm almost happy the new Generations stuff hasn't appeared yet. Need time to recover.

pure junk

Considering I'd only want the forge….there are much better (and cheaper) alternatives to get it than getting another crappy weaponizer. I have the OP version, and it's much better than I thought (plus his blaster is perfectly sized for Voyager OP – meaning way too small for him) but it didn't cost that much…
Curious how they must think that this is worth the same as Ultimate Predaking and Ultimate Lunchbox.

I like that it is geared towards collectors and works with MISB displays but way too pricey and I agree this appears to be a poor figure.
Predicon
These have been in canada for like…a month or two? $69.99 I believe. Too pricey for what appears to be a poor figure.
