Selling my Magic Square gold OP vs 1.0 legends figure. PM me if there is any US interest.

Mine is on its way from ShowZ. I won't be keeping it, so if anyone is interested in an unopened one, he'll be for sale as soon as he gets here.

It’s different when you release it along side the new better model. I know it’s a budget option but come on V2 looks fantastic why would you not go for that.
Norita man
Lol. Maybe you don't but if every companies in the face of the earth keeps doing variant of optimus for decades then maybe just maybe the selling numbers tell them a different opinion.

v2 is out now but im waiting for the ex plus version with transparent window…

Wow. If they absolutely *have* to release this again, they should include something as a bonus.
Like the accessory pack. Or something that would make every legends fan want to buy it.

In case anybody who pre-ordered from BBB was curious, I emailed them about what price Prime would be if you had preordered prior to the snafu and they said they'd be charging the $64.99 + $5 Bay + shipping. No need to try to get in on that price, you're already in.

Cos v2.0 is not the 'perfect toon' edition.
Wait for v2.3.

Okay, so they do know what colors the trailer is supposed to have for cartoon accuracy. So why doesn't V2 look like that?
Ravewind
If it is I hope it's mentioned as to what is different. What keeps me from this figure is that I hate how the knees were utilized.

only obvious thing i'm seeing changed is that the trailer no longer has the two blue strips.

From the post, it seems that it is very slightly different from the previous release?
This is for OCDers who are chasing after the 'perfect' OP. MST likes to tease and change one small thing for each release, each time claiming to be more toon accurate.
The same thing is going to happen for v2…
Ravewind
It's more likely the former as another factory batch would have need to have been planned for months considering the number of parts to make along with the assembly process.

Stop gap to hold over through Chinese New Year? I mean has to be a big gift giving season. People want a MS Prime of some sort.
Phase Sixer
I think they must have found a large stash somewhere they never sold. I can’t imagine them rushing another batch at the factory after they botched V2, but who knows.
Snaku
I wonder if the combat deck issue kicked their butts with v2 and now they're scrambling to try to make up their losses.

If they’re going to rerelease the v1 mold, why not throw in the extras kit (eg the side windows for alt mode)? Also, the previous poster’s suggestion about a full pack-in for Ultra Magnus would have made sense. Oh well… I guess v1 is now in cartoon colors for those who want it. Choice is never a bad thing.
