Good news to start your weekend off right TFW! Board member Autobot_82 has reported the first retail sighting of the Platinum Edition 2-pack featuring Age of Extinction voyagers Optimus Prime and Grimlock! This set is a K-Mart exclusive and will retail for around $59.99 (which can also be ordered via their website here). This set was found in Commerce, Colorado.
Check it out with the discussion link below!

I've seen it. The crazy thing is, some sets have the battle mask head sculpt on prime, some don't!
EMP Starscream
I still have not seen this at my local Kmart. Any of the Jetfire hunters see this out on the shelves?
BaronVonSolace

Anyone who's seen this know if it has the "XX of 30" brand marking it as one of the "Thrilling 30 Exclusive Line"?

This is an exclusive in TRU in our territory (Manila).
This box set will be my last resort if ever i'll not be able to get the Autobots United set. Or any Evasion OP that have a faceplate that is good looking enough and not disappointing to look at..
In this version, it's too much chrome. My problems with chrome is the potential of color degeneration in the long run. Turning it into yellowing. I wonder why Hasbro didn't painted some parts in Gun Metal or Super Metal finish instead of these chromes
Transformers in the movie aren't very shiny in their bot modes.

When I first heard about and then saw a sneak peek at this set I was stoked about it and even more when i just saw the post for it that it has been sighted here in state-side, but now I'm pissed off cause it went Kmart? All of places why the F Kmart? These stores suck, there going out of business left and right, unless Kmart plans to be just a online store? Walmart, Target and TRU should have gotten these sets and at least they would somewhat cheaper.
Wanted this set b/c of the chrome on both figures and the dark or blackened face on Grimmy! Makes him look like a bad-ass!!!

WHY DO THEY TEASE US WITH THE G1 ESQUE SILVER STRIPING ON PRIMES CHEST IN THE CASE AND PROMO PICS, BUT NEVER INCLUDE IT ON THE FINAL PRODUCT!?!?!?
I was the main reason I was excited about evasion prime….now they do it again

All I want to know is if it has a "thrilling 30" # on it. If so it's a must buy for me, even though I hate movie-formers. Anyone know?

Hey, this was found in the California sightings thread, why does it say Colorado?

Kmart? There may be one only two blocks away from where I live, but I refuse to go to the Gobots of department stores, to buy Transformers. That's just fucking wrong!

different countries have different exclusives, it's VERY common.
i don't know why anyone would want this set anyways.
i miss the cool target exclusives.. like the robo vision prime or the premium starscream.. or even the nixed leadfoot set.
i'd MUCH MUCH MUCH rather have individual figure exclusives rather than raising the price of something that contains a figure that no one really wants.
Wildstrikes
I don't get it.In my country,this set is a toyrus exclusive.Now in US is kmart exclusive.Weird.
This set have been in my toyrus since May.

PrimulArchangel
UGH that random chrome kills it for me , Prime looks like crap .. Pass
normal versions are $24.99 in the stores in my area.

$60 bucks for two $22 figures is kinda steep. IMHO. I did want this, but I can't afford it. :/

My kmart has baaaaaad distribution,but,sometimes they get in the. new stuff

Well, if it does shelfwarm there's a good chance it will go on clearance and then everyone who wants it can pick it off during one of those 50% off clearance toys sales K-Mart does.

I saw that too and I was like "huh?" Someone should update the news post…

I actually sighted this at my local K-Mart in Oak Lawn, IL. Didn't pick it up as I was looking for something else during my trip.
Jetstorm
I was *thinking* of getting this, but since I'll be getting that Optimus in the "Unite" set and that Grimlock in the Dinobot 5-pack, it seems a but redundant unless there's something that really sets these two apart from the others.
