I'm looking forward to know if it's really a Leader Brawl shiny reissue. And if it is, how it will look and most importantly, how the thing will cost.
So, let's play the wait-n-see game.

I would buy APS brawl and striker optimus for 60- 80$ each at universal
Now will megatron get an APS toy?
Sentinel would be cool.
Screamer would most likely be a re-release of MPM-01.

I don't really keep up with the Japanese movie toy line, so I'm clueless.

Well, that would be nice for those who can't get enough luck at the lottery.Megatronsdemise666 wrote:I'm serious hasbro should seriously consider selling the APS series at universal studios.

And I say, Megatron would be very nice if he was either in his ROTF body, but with metallic paint job, or in his new DOTM body (please Takara).
Not sure what Sentinel would look like, but he should have much more detail. Some(?) DOTM toys lack it, so Sentinel should get rid of some red paint that makes him look boring.
And yes, Starscream would get re-released, but I can deal with that.
Some most likely choices in the series:
APS-06 Ironhide (needs more black detail)
APS-07 Soundwave (metallic paint job will do)
APS-08 Ratchet (similar to his Best Buy exclusive release)
APS-09 Bumblebee (HA version, but in his DOTM design) I think I'll regret saying that
APS-10 Jetfire (similar to the ROTF two pack that has him with OP)

Damn bastard goes for 200$ on Ebay.

Seriously? Leader Brawl goes up to $200 on eBay?

But I don't have much interest in the LDR Brawl mold. Loved the Deluxe mold.

Looks like there is a wide range for the value of this guy. Seems like he goes anywhere between $100-$175 MISB and can be had for $75-$100 opened and complete. I would guess APS-02 to cost around $130-$150 so that would put the new guy about the same price as the old guy.

Jesus.
The paint must be something that will make the gods barf rainbows for me to pay that much cash on a movie figure.

If he is that one movie that received a TV series, then consider me "Lost in Translation." I mean... Truth be told, if I was not dead-set on my policy that prohibits me from buying any movie pieces, and I had the funding, I would have bought him. He is one of those shining examples that has me thinking that APS-02 will have fans develop a shrunken bladder.

In any case this looks good, I would like to get hold of this, hope there is some shiny/metallic paint on him.

Also, can someone point out too me what exactly is "premium" about this release. Just looks like the typical hasbro product shot that's heavily photoshopped too look way nicer than it actually is (Insert polishing a turd analogy here).

If you're saying that it looks just like the Hasbro version, consider the comparison of both versions below:
APS Brawl has a much more metallic finish than the Hasbro version.
As a lover of not only of tanks in general, but specifically the M1A1 Abrams, I would happily sell my kidneys to afford this (but not enough to trump MP-10).

Leader class Brawl was my favorite figure from the 2007 movie line. I Lso though he raised the cool factor in the scene exponentially. He made the 'Cons look badass, not like drooling panzies in the second one.
Might try some paint modding on mine just to get some nice highlights.

On the figure itself, I own the Hasbro version and I wouldnt recommend the mold unless you are a huge Brawl fan. It doesnt hold together well in tank mode.

And a tank fan like myself. Can't forget the fans of tanks!
The other day I picked up my Leader Brawl to reconfigure my displays to accompany my incoming Christmas haul. Massive pain in the butt to transform, especially the arms, mainly because I hadn't touched it in two or three years.

I probably would. He looks great, and would look even better next to APS-01 Striker Prime (especially now that I've sunk $$ into the Dr Wu/UFO/Cubex articulated silver hands, Orange Axe & Sentinel Prime Shield, and Chrome Buster Guns).
If you don't want him, then... I'm sure you've got better things to do than knock others' purchases.

"Knocking other people's purchase?"
I'm not knocking anything. The bitterness of your coffee is clouding your perception, here.
I'm just warning that this will be sold at a premium price, like all these other foreign exclusives.
Beside, a shooped preview dont count. If they do ask 200$ for it, it better have more than a shiny new coat of paint and they better show real pictures.
Anyway, do what you will with your money, buy a overpriced movie figure, smoke it, eat it in a salad, I dont care.
(No knocking here, oh no.)
(ME SMASH!)

Your overwrought response belies your point, and reeks of knocking

I believe he is referring to what appears to be paint applications on his hands that appear to represent weathered metal. Back when he was available in retail, his hands were plain ol' black.
EDIT: Thought you meant Brawl's hands. I'll hunt down said hands after I'm done with my damn project.

If it had the chrome green paint of Takara FOC Brawl or First Edition Bulkhead, Id buy it. Silver in place of the grey is not enough for me.
