I just ordered YOTH OP online, and called it a day. Only gonna cost me $20 more overall, no big deal. Not mucking around with the hunting this time, even though I already have Takara MP-10 and MP-10B.
If you miss the initial shipment to TRU retail, get ready for mass panic. It's also a movie year, so I expect a small window of opportunity to get YOTH OP, and generations toys. Not taking that chance.

Yes, order as soon as you can…..I almost got screwed out of Hasbro Soundwave because of TRU, I lucked out and got a MISB one from Ebay for $170. This Prime was it's just after he was put on BBTS, I missed the TRU Prime too, and I wasn't passing on this version, even if it wasn't the original colors. Now I finally have an MP-10 Prime with a trailer.

Ordering it online is your safest bet. After asking around at several Toys R Us stores in Ontario it sounds like this guy is going to be just as hard to get as the original release of MP10. Good luck.

Oh cool, I never owned the mold, perhaps I might have a chance to own this.

That's the worse isn't it…

By making TRU the exclusive seller.

How did they mess up on the release?? By not making more than what TRU ordered?

I have the Hasbro TRU MP-10, but will get this because it'll be nice to have a version of this mold I'm comfortable working with without worrying about what happens to it.

i think 130 is reasonable. It's the taxes that will tip it over
LegendAntihero
130 should really be more of an aftermarket price for Optimus.
OhMyPrimus
Agreed. Hasbro effed up on the release of the MP-10 TRU exclusive and its crazy expensive now. This is my next best option too.

If I didn't already have the TRU Prime Masterpiece exclusive I would probably pick this up.

Here are pics I just shot yesterday of him, they may or may not help being they're pics, and all. But the Gold really isn't as in your face as it appears.

Transformers Platinum Edition Optimus Prime (Year of the Horse) Figure – Hasbro – Toys "R" Us
Pre-order is up on ToysRUs.com

This figure has been in my local toys r us store for weeks! The UK is normally the last to get them too which is confusing… anyway, I checked it over and wasn't impressed, the gold looks a tad cheesy and its expensive, I have normal MP10 and just don't want this…
OhMyPrimus
Ok where the hell is this????? I need to find this figure asap!!!!

I'm on the fence on this guy but i may get em and use em as Nemesis Prime/The Prime Problem clone.

What's With All The Gold? This Is Pimp Daddy Prime. Besides, I Have The 2012 TRU Exclusive MP-10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime. So I Don't Need This. I'm Definitely NOT Impressed With The New Pimp Daddy Prime With A Clear Trailer. I Will Definitely Pass On This One.
