too bad it doesn't comes with the trailer….

Toyco in NZ has the G1 figure listed seperately. They must be confused. THanks for clarifying! Makes the $160 more palatable.

As shown in the photo, it is a pair of separately boxed toys (sold as a pair in Japan and with this Australian retailer). The topic title on the Ozformers board was wrong to use the word "2-pack" (it has since been changed), but everywhere else (in that news post, in the product listings, and in the TFW news posting) it notes "set".
This confusion was something I was trying to avoid, as I was hoping to illustrate the fact that these two toys come in two beautifully detailed boxes (particularly the Studio Series Optimus, in a Gen1 styled box, as if this could have been the original Optimus toy if the Transformers toyline started today with today's level of engineering).

they are sold in separate boxes but listed as a 2-pack deal… ?

What if I just want the SS Prime? How much would he be alone?

Woo, aussie time
Mr.Deflok
So the Prime one is a 2 pack? I've seen it listed as seperate items (ie a G1 reissue and a G1'd SS38).
