Courtesy of our very own mod Onslaught24 we have a better look at the recently revealed AMC Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime Truck Popcorn Tin.
We have clear shots that let us appreciate this new cool Optimus Prime tin which is really more than meets the eye. Read on for details thanks to Onslaught24:}
- Only AMCs with showings tonight can sell it, otherwise they go up tomorrow at theaters.
- Purchase on theaters gets popcorn and soda ($50.00)
- It cannot be refilled if bought ahead of time (just got the tins but can’t get em filled tomorrow night).
- The cab is a drink container which opens and the smokestacks are straws.
- Trailer is also
die-casttin/aluminum. - So far, it’s not available online, only at theaters.
See the mirrored image attached to this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Just putting this out there, I have 4 extra,unused straws if anyone needs them. Would just ask for the unfortunate cost of shipping, but better than not having them at all if you're a completionist like me

I just found one of these on Facebook Marketplace for $10!

Cost me about another $6 in fuel and tolls, but still a bargain. Needs a cleaning, then I'll start to look at how to separate the trailer.
EDIT: done and done.

If I finished things I started, I would move the trailer hitch forward so it sits between the 2 rear axles, and cover the exposed hollow space behind the cab.
I just cut the blue frame at its thinnest point, which leaves a nice tail for the cab section.

I also extended the forward screw post to serve as a hitch post, and glued a spacer onto it to give the bottom of the trailer some clearance to turn.

(Long post for a gimmick toy, I realize.)

Definitely

Gotcha, I was confused how you “lost” $70. The theatre closest to me is AMC, so I was fortunate to get it with popcorn and drink. My son loves it for rolling accessory storage!

Cuz I was contemplating hard whether buy it or not. Now it's sold out so I saved $70 which is what it cost shipped.
Robowang
I have never wanted to poop into a toy so badly.
Heat Guy
Missed out on ordering one and no AMC near me sadly.
AMAC
How?

these just came in. They are a little bit longer and a little bit thicker. It’s a extremely tight fit but they do fit. That’s nice because then the straws do not wiggle around at all. It also highlights that the smokestacks are straws.

edit for @ckhtiger’s question below:
It is a super tight fit… I did not push the bottom of the straw in out of fear that it “might” crack. Most likely would not but did not want them to get stuck there either. I think I could push them all the way in if I really wanted to. If you really want me to try it let me know.
I am not worried about the paint chipping but again it is an EXTREMELY tight fit:

This silver straw (chrome smoke stacks) set is nice. And you get for straight straws and four angled straws. I have two more sets coming. this set would’ve benefited from being a tad wider. I will find the best.

Got one for my son while watching IMAX. Wasn’t expecting but seems plenty available on Sunday. Came with separate large drink and large popcorn so win win. Movie is great!
AMAC
Same but I got one for popcorn and the other for my son to use for accessory storage – it holds a lot and much better than just laying on a shelf. I also ordered the Cinemark one online which showed up yesterday. I really like the OP head, but the AMC truck is the clear winner of the popcorn bucket challenge!
er4smiths
That’s refreshing to hear !
ckhtiger
I bought 2 to keep, I'm using them, and the Cinemark light up head, for accessory storage.
