Gah! I can't afford the new jeans I kinda really need so stop enabling me!

Hey, you got it! *cheers*

Yup! Parental unit was like "you're still paying off Optimus huh?" and I said "yes" and he said "well, your birthday is coming up" and I said "sold!"

It was magical! He's not that bad to transform but he does require some surprising force.

I think we have one of the old school one of these in our storage room. At least we have something that resemebles that.

Ooo is it this one? or this one? They're two two most likely.

You really don't wanna know how much I spent on pretty Transforming robots. ^^o

Is he like a full on metal Prime?

[bride_of_lister]

His 'boots' and a fair bit of his torso are die cast. Pretty much everything you can see in his root-mode.

He's ridiculously posable and I just keep finding little geeky attention to details all over him! I'm in love. ^^

Well I just bought one (it was the METAL that did it) as soon as i found there was a die cast version of him, I had to have him.

Incidentally, how much plastic is there in the movieverse OP you have? If they had a fully die cast OP I'd easily pay $200+ for him

There's a golden version of 2007 OP for $3000 that I could afford but - uh - I have to buy a camera for the next movie. No doubt it would be worth ten times that much in 10 years.

http://www.goldoptimusprime.com exists purely just to cry at.

The movie OP is completely plastic but it is very nice plastic. All the movie toys are completely plastic because as they said in Beast Wars 'Die-Cast construction, it's a lost art.'

*stares, drools* The site is both a nice idea and a total fan tease!
