Transformers Premium Leader Prime and Megatron to be mass released

yay
primes sword

Perfect! I preorderd these because I'm tired of trying to track them down in Walmarts, etc...

Bumblebee's resculpted head features battle-mode mask.

Does this mean a resculpted Prime's head will show his shiny lips and tiny teeth?

Well that’s good, maybe I can call up the rest of my Scalper legion troops and see if I can start limiting how many of these you people can find because I’m the evil scalper! with my army of scalpers secretly placed among each state and even Canada …

I'm not too happy about this habit of Hasbro squeezing every drop of juice out of the same mold over and over again.

im glad i did not buy megatron yet

p.s scalpers are jerks

Me too(actually I picked up Voyager Megs but that's a differnt figure) I think I'll wait for Megs to hit stores though

Eventually, this scheme could work against Hasbro.

People will be holding back from buying the initial releases. (Which are critical for the success of a toyline.)

Please, that Megatron mold doesn't deserve to be released again. But since I didn't get him the first time.. i'll probably do it this time.

let's see how many will not detect the hint of sarcasm in your post again Neko.

lol@price.

This "Megatron" is the shiny silver one right? If it is im getting it. Since i didnt buy the first one since it was so damn ugly.

I want to see what these guys look like before I commit money I don't have to them.

I doubt they could make them much more expensive than they allready are for the european market (prays that they arrive here too) so I'm looking forward for them.

Megatron will be mine. Oh yes. He will be mine.

I think so too.

I remember when I used to spend 30 bucks on single disk new release dvds like a chump.

dude, these looks nice... epsecially prime's sword!!! I got a question though, so I was gonna pick up a leader prime for 20 today.... but I saw this, so should I wait until these come out?

Does Megatron have anything else going for him besides a new head and coat of paint?

Out of all the Premium figures I'll only get Prime, Ironhide, and JAzz if he's mass released. Mind you as rip-off as the Premium concept it at least they're releasing Prime and Megs at mass retail.

If I recall Jazz will be mass released, except in a three pack with Masked Bumblebee and Barricade.

Don't pass him up for $20, open that one and keep this boxed.

Well we all know that Hasbro is milking the success of the First Wave of Movie Toys. And since I doubt there will good success in the Animated line, as well as lines leading up TF2, then this Premium line is all Hasbro has to make big revenue.

This Premium stuff is a 2nd chance for me to get figures I wasn't able to get, so I guess it's good. But then again, Hasbro's lack of shipment to retail is the reason I didn't get those figures in the first place.

True true, the problem is that I'm in Australia and I'm not sure if we'll be getting the three-pack (one can hope though). I'm sure the mass release figures will be released individually over here, and I'm happy enough for that.

How much are these Premiums going to cost?

Care to make a bet?

I may get Prime, again.

frak this premium line, and frak hasbro for doing it. premium, everything that comes out of the hasbro warehouse should be premium. usually, companies take pride in putting out a quality product so customers don't have to rebuy the exact same frickin' thing every 3 months.
the word itself means paying a higher price for superior quality.
but besides different paint, what makes the blackout mold any better, it's still a shit mold.
other than making the character paint more or less closer to or different from the actual movie, and a mold tweek here and there, what actually makes these superior and why the hell couldn't hasbro have just done it right in the first time?
even if you put lipstick and panties on a pile of shit, it's still a pile.
also, if this had been any line except for alternators everyone on this site would be laughing their asses off. premium cybertron delux figs! LOL!!!!
i guess since there is only 35 minutes of tf's in the movie as opposed to several years of episodes in any series, they gotta rape your wallet somehow.

To be honest, I like how Megatron from the movie looked. The main reason I don't plan on getting any of the figures is because his alt mode sucks ass in the current mold. Like the fact that his head is still visible. I'm sorry, but when you can make the various limbs and crap more obvious in an alt mode than on Classics Jetfire, there's a line being crossed that I'm not willing to step over. Sort of ironic, Hasbro used the Classics line as a 'filler' until the Movie line came out, and it turned out to be not only of higher popularity, but higher quality. It's a shame to see these crappy molds getting so many repaints, esspecially since I loved the actual in-movie looks in general.

This is such true statement I think that Michael Bay interpreted Megatron Attitude as such arrogant character that he will not even try to use an Alt. earth mode. It is a shame since we could have seen some sort of innovation on his transformation, perhaps a triple-changer...

I agree. This "pile of crap" design of Megatron must be stopped. No matter the cost.
