A query for those wiser than I

[Kingoji]

Does anyone know what the current availability and cost of a Transformers Prime First Edition Optimus would be? I'm talking specifically about this one as there seem to be many: www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/gallery/transformers-prime-first-edition/optimus-prime/2606/1/
If it's fairly common and not too pricey I might like to get one for custom purposes.

Cheers!

No idea Ed.

But if you need a scarce toy found at a reasonable price - Nick is the man to ask!

Not as much as you much think!

The FE toys got a second production one. You can find them out there quite cheap.

If eBay completed items are any guide about £35

[Kingoji]

Good to know, chaps. The reason I'm thinking about it is I'd kinda like to make this chap for realsies.



And it would have to be that particular Prime due to the way the chest plate works without affecting the cab-mode windows.

That looks nice! I didn't think Staxx had a faceplate though, maybe a Hound head would work better?

EDIT: Hmm he does have a faceplate, but the whole thing looks a lot more Hound-like

[Kingoji]

Yeah, but I wanted to make sure the head didn't look out of place on the body. Anyway, I've no idea if it would even be possible to swap any heads around... did it on here just cuz it looks better.

Worst case you can just cut the head off and glue a new one on to the neck joint.

Staxx doesnt have a face plate, but he doesn't have a mouth either. At least thats my interpretation of the toy which is frankly odd.

It looks like a great concept though.

[Kingoji]

Yeah, he's a sunglasses-wearing gobless wonder. Part of his eternal appeal.

In case you don't find what you're looking for, I have the RiD Voyager, boxed, if that would be any good to you?

I can't access eBay to see what the going rate is but if £15 posted floats your boat, I'll get it posted in a day or so? It's just cluttering me up at the moment.

Thanks, I appreciate it! But it pretty much has to be the first edition deluxe for it to work properly, due to differences in transformation and parts placement. I do appreciate the offer though.
