I almost bought that Striker Prime the other day though. Just seemed too pricey for me at the time. Still is. I think i'll regret that decision some day.

The Leader should be much better than it is, but I've come to like the deluxe Brawl mould in its brown repaint that I use for Obsidian. He's got a badass look if you really work to get the poses right.

Leader Brawl is awesome! Easily the best leader from the first movie line. Only thing he lacks is ankle articulation but you can still get some cool poses out of him.
I'd be all over both of these if I didn't already have Deep Desert Brawl and Jetwing Prime.

I resigned myself to just sticking with the Deluxe, though. Leader Brawl is always stupidly expensive or/and missing parts...
Plus, he doesn't fit anywhere scale-wise in my collection.

If I was planning on selling my Leader Brawl, I'd letcha off with mine for regular retail price ($40).
But, being a tank enthusiast, I can't let him up.

Aps 01, like Buster, is the definitive movie Prime and a striking counterpart to the Buster non-mouthplate version. All the silver paint and chrome just pops compared to the dingy looking dark gray on the DA 28 version. The extra cannons, shield, and SEPARATE battle blades combine to make this figure unbelievably awesome.
And check it out-he even has a new voice sample rather than the crappy "I am Optimus Prime" of all the other versions.
He says "The Decepticons MUST be stopped!" And Peter Cullen's voice says it with conviction!
Worth the cash IMO.

I'm still glad to have him and I doubt I'll ever sell him.
The premium version is very, VERY great looking, but I would have serious buyer remorse if I had to spend 200$ for it.

I really want Optimus, but I'm struggling to take the final step in spending so much money.

Also, I'll bring home a shiny Buster Optimus Prime next week. Shiny chrome version with mouthplate. Used, but otherwise perfect. Only 70$ by local pick-up! I'm so lucky.
