As we approach that last quarter of 2015, big ticket items are starting to appear in stores. One of such items found on store shelves in Taiwan is the Year Of The Monkey Platinum Edition Optimus Primal (as reported earlier here).
Thanks to an article from Autobase Aichi, we get a glimpse of the release’s actual packaging and the figure’s final product paint scheme from photos shared by a Taiwanese Transformers Fan group on Facebook. Interestingly, there appears to be a sticker depicting the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars. Will this mean more products from Hasbro in celebration for this anniversary? Only time will tell. In the mean time, check out the images after the break.

I had to laugh when this popped up on my Facebook… Oh, FREE SHIPPING, what a deal!
Yeah, Hasbro is SO going to be like "See, beasts don't sell!"

MRFR…..
. Wish I saw that link before I got one a few months ago.

It's back at this price if anyone is interested
WishfulThinking
It was $50 back then. So $45 is a decent price.
It is a large figure in robot mode. He's at least half the size of Brave Max.
Alterator
Luckily, it was only $44.87
If memory serves, that is about the price that the original sold for. About 15 years ago. So, that's pretty cool.
WishfulThinking
I have the original. It's okay. Wouldn't pay over $50 for it.

Why can't they do this on payday?

Where?
mcart
I like him but don't just take my word for it
Dachande
I ordered it for $47 after taxes, so I'll be finding out Thursday.
For that price, there was no way I was going to pass it up.
MatrixOfWumbo
Is this guy worth 44 dollars?
mcart
Yup, I grabbed it for 50. Didn't know this was a Prime only thing but I'm a member so that was just Prime.
Sorry!
