    The colour painted on the Buster Optimus is much better than the first one. Why Takara never do that in the first place? Anyway, not buying this one..Sick of it!!

    Hi deSMOnd,

    Buster OP is nicer and more expensive too! :P

    Not really Juliana as I can get it at the same price I paid to the first version at CSC :)

    Hi deSMOnd,

    I believe regular customers can get it cheaper or around the price of the first ROTF Leader OP. Since only collector toy shops have Leader Buster OP, there is no fixed retail price, unlike in the dept stores :)

    History do repeat itself. You have a not so movie accurate one while later you have a PREMIUM version like movie 1 toys. So I am not surprise when this thing happen AGAIN.

    BTW the ROTF leader class was on sale 20% cheaper like $80 last week at toyRus. So it is good to wait. :)

    Hi LEon,

    I’m waiting for Leader Buster OP to go on sale. I like his shining silver colors!

    Buster Prime is now available at Takashimaya - be sure to look out for Christmas discounts soon. I’ve gotten mine already though hehe.

    improving the features of toys is one aspect of marketing strategy by takara or any toy company to have a significant impact on their sales

    Hi Stephen,

    Wow that’s very fast! How much is it at Taka?

    Btw, I saw this model of truck on the roads while I was on holiday in the US during the past 2 weeks! :D

    $130 is way above market rate for this.
