Haha, I didn't even notice it was spelled wrong through the whole article until you brought it up. It's been called Blu-ray since some time in 2002, and I still see this happening.

In any case, the black Prime looks great, hopefully there will be a way for us mere Americans to acquire it.

I would shell out some cash to get that Prime.... He's gonna look Shecksay combined with Jetfire I reckon!!! That clear BB looks hot too...

I didn't even think about the combined form, but yes, it'll looks uber nice. This is so much better than the 2007 Movie Nightwatch prime on so many levels.

I've pre-ordered it too, the total amount for Portugal is about 114 euros. But there's one thing bugging me. I've already bought one CD on amazon.co.jp, but when I tried to buy Mashin Eiyuden Wataru toys they said it couldn't be shipped outside Japan. Since this is a DVD plus a toy, I hope they won't cancel our orders stating that it can't be shipped outside Japan .

BTW, it seems the DVD is a 2 disc special edition, at least they say it's 2 discs .

I thought you can only buy DVDs/CDs/Books off of amazon.co.jp?

It'll prob be even more expensive when imported here by online dealers.

Wait, $154 USD base cost? Dang, never mind. I'm fine with Leader OP and Buster OP is the cherry on top. No need for this repaint for me.

Do you know if there's enough of a difference between ROTF Prime and ROTF Buster Prime, where the Jetfire combination wouldn't work on Buster Prime? I have Jetfire, and for whatever reason I still don't own a Leader ROTF Prime. I definitely want Buster Prime, and probably want ROTF Prime, but I was curious about the combination.

Nah, all 3 version of Prime (normal, buster, black) can combine with Jetfire. Normal & Buster prime differences are paint job, head, and fuel tanks become handgun.... This wont affect the combination.

Oh, okay, that makes a big difference.

Yeah, there should be no problems with combining any of the Leader OPs with JF. I'm a little wary of combining Buster OP, though, just because of the risk of paint wear from the process of combining two big hunks o' plastic.

Oh, he'll get a faceplate...you'll come home one day and find Buster OP with a full faceplate going on. The box seals aren't compromised. And nearby you'll see a disfigured head sculpt of one of your other Transformers. You can't deny OP his desire for FACE.

That's what everyone says in the beginning...

Therefore, this set item includes the Optimus Prime figure.

Also, this set item includes 2 DVDs of "Transformers Revenge".

Hi. Sorry I can not speak Japanese. I don't know if I chose the correct subject for this email because I can not read Japanese.

I pre-ordered this DVD which comes with a large Transformers toy by TakaraTomy and I would like to know if this can be shipped to my country (Portugal) and if there are no problems with my pre-order. Will both the DVD and the toy be sent to me in Portugal? Your site allowed me to order this exclusive offer, but because you do not sell toys outside of Japan I want to confirm if this one can really be sent to other countries or if it was an error.

Also, just to be sure, this item includes a 2 disc DVD Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen plus a Transformers Leader class yellow and black Optimus Prime toy by TakaraTomy, right? Does it also include the small Bumblebee toy by TakaraTomy shown in the photos? I want to be sure that all this is included and that there are no problems to ship to Portugal because this is a very expensive order.

Thank you.

Best regards

capellamusic wrote:Anyway, I think that should be made news because I think many people still think that they can't order this exclusive offer on amazon.co.jp directly saving a lot of money. bbts.com is charging way too much (more than $200 without shipping) for this and they aren't even including the EZ Stealth Bumblebee that amazon.co.jp already confirmed to me that it is included in the exclusive DVD offer. People should simply buy directly at amazon.co.jp, I don't see what's the point for buying this from a 3rd party store with a huge markup when it can be bought directly.

If anyone has doubts about it just send them an email like I did on amazon.co.jp's "contact us" form. On the message subject list I used the last one which I think it is "Other questions & comments" like on the UK amazon. Write them in english and they'll answer in english, just like they did with me.
