That's what non-americans fret about from Sideshow eg Thanos.

Tit for tat.

Waouw impressive work by XM ! i don't think they have the license for Europe for this line so ...in the secondary market if it's like the others (Batman Samurai etc...) the price will maybe double and it will cost us 2500/3000 EUR or more to get this piece...but if you're a fan money should not be an issue. This is for sure the better Optimus Prime i've ever seen !

I don't even know if i will resist

Hmm not sure how I feel about this now. It's great that they have the truck mode to show his transformed state but now they've taken out the Matrix of Leadership as well as the hologram arm that they showed in the past.

Have to agree. I really liked the hologram readout on his arm. I get the point of the truck . . . But if you're spending this much $ on Prime, you shouldn't need a truck to know what his transformed mode is.

Yeah I hope I'm wrong and they just forgot to mention the matrix and the hologram arm in the description.

Nope. They confirmed they are not included. It was stated they would be packed in with other statues in the line...

That's disappointing. I'm not sure if I would be able to collect the rest of the line so it would bother me knowing that I'd have to get other pieces to "complete" Optimus. Sadly I think this is going to be a pass for me then even though it really looks amazing.
