A new listing on Amazon.com provides us with a small tease at a bit of 30th anniversary of Transformers tie-in merchandise. What is listed is a light-up Optimus Prime bust which comes with a 48 page book containing quotes and pictures from the original 1980s cartoon. It is set for a 14th of May 2014 release – mere days after where the 30th anniversary itself falls. The list price is $12.95. No pictures or other information is posted on there yet, but it seems like this will be the first of many items released to coincide with 30 years of the robots in disguise.

They must think we'll buy anything as long as it's TF.

I had seen this a ways back and wondered what the deal was.
The low cost coupled with a book seems to me to be a good purchase.

I've had this one on my wish list, and even last night they didn't have a pic for it… good to finally see him. Sold.

Granted, it's not the most detailed or accurate. But, for $10 and the electronic phrases I'm sold. If it completely sucks, oh well. $10 ain't that bad!

Fuck that shit

Wow, that looks like a complete piece of junk.

It's one of those things you find on the turning news rack at Chapters/Indigo or whatever in those small boxes. Cute

Holy crap this is cheap! Nice deal, but it makes you wonder why in the world this is set at a cheap price.

I doubt the bust will do anything for me but the book might be intresting and if it is that cheap I might get it.

Enticing.

I'm sure it's probably the same thing as the small scale replica of the Doctor Who Tardis, Star Trek Phaser, and Batman Bat Signal that you can find at Books A Million for $12 bucks.
That being sad, if it is indeed the same company, then you can expect some quality work. I have the Bat Signal and Phaser ones and they are great.
EDIT:
It is indeed the same company, you can get a really good idea of the quality of the Prime bust from this: http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Cy…r_1_20?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1381682509&sr=1-20
