Because your wallet hasn’t taken a beating in the last week or so, here’s a spotting of the upcoming Transformers Platinum Edition Autobot Heroes set! This set, celebrating 30 years of the original animated Transformers The Movie, features re-releases of Generations figures Ultra Magnus with Minimus Ambus, Autobot Springer, Arcee, Blurr, and Sergeant Kup but with platinum styled paint jobs.
The box is simply gorgeous as it contains the artwork from the movie as the actual box cover. The set is slated to set you back though – it was spotted with the price of $299.90 (granted it will pry be cheaper when it finally hits stores but by how much we don’t know). Thanks to board member RCtelevision for the find and the pictures!

I really love the box art.

So far all I seen was that one box. With the big price and factory error on that one probably means no one is going to buy it anytime soon.
All the platinum sets this year has terrible qc.

I'm slightly interested in that Autobot set when it comes stateside but I have pretty much all of those figures in some form. The Springer is the most new thing to me just cuz it's essentially like the Ñegends release. Hopefully anyone in Singapore who gets this can at least report on whether the the car parts peg on Springer as I hear that was fixed for the Legends version.

The Junk & Cyclonus sets I have made clear to my mom as gift ideas like for my birthday or christmas. OvM & the Rodimus set I'll get once I get a stable income of money.

Can't be good for your wallet. I have never picked up a platinum set in my life

Only really want the Cyclonus' set, love the translucent plastic. It would be a miracle to get the money for me to get that Autobot set but considering I already have all the figures (and in better paint jobs) this will be a pass.
Looks like the only Platinum set I'll be skipping is the Autobot 5pack.

Shame this doesn't include TR Blurr.
It's about $160 worth of figures.

I'm tempted to get these just because I really like the boxart.

the set looks better than i expected. but still it's pretty expensive

Ooooooh man that is too rich for my blood.
That and the fact I already own all of those molds, they are nicely painted though.

I love the box art too but since I already have all those molds, I can easily pass. However this set would be perfect for beginning collectors who want to get started building a serious collection or for those who want to start rebuilding one.

Put me into the like category for the box look or buy just the box art alone, lol. That's what I call 30th Anniv. I never get tired of seeing the original TFTM poster art. It's such as ashamed that Shout Factory had to go with an alternate cover art for their 30th Anniv. TFTM Blu-ray; easily pass from me.
Seriously, that US $222 price tag alone is hard to swallow when all I want is just the UM figure by itself. I need that blue waist with white thigh CW UM in my collection. If TTomy Legend UM did not have the red thigh, I would've gone with that route already. Decision…..

Very nice (but pricey!) sets.

I have four out of five moulds of the Autobot Heroes set, three of them as the characters they are in said set.
Yet I still kinda want it.
Faelon
Oh heck yes!
Fallout
or because it's a tiny piece of plastic that's gang molded with the bigger toy…?
optimusmegas
nothing to do with the movie? you better watch it again then sir….
