If I can go one whole week without any more surprise estate bills I'm buying one.
We're all pulling for ya!
i wish they didn't make the smokestacks on g1 universe prime removable though because mine are hella loose
actually it's really weird - with one of the smokestacks, if i plug it into one of the holes, it's totally fine. nice and tight. but then the other one is incredibly loose talking like 'i can lightly flick it with my finger and it'll spin like i'm moses parting the red sea with a beyblade' so instead i have to have them both in the opposite holes where they're not that loose but are still in the 'will frequently get bumped out of position while posing the toy'
dumb. hasbro you dumb. nobody is going to use them as guns or whatever the hell was the reason to make them removable.

I'll take anything over stupid rubbery stacks that are already warped in the box.
idk i mean ss86 prime's stacks aren't rubbery, short, or removable.
I had a similar issue with my Coronation Starscream's guns. A very light coating of acrylic nail polish solved that issue. It's important to let it fully dry FIRST, though.
Thing with my nephew's Prime though was the opposite, his fist holes are SO tight it was problematic. I lightly sanded them so the guns could actually be held.

I thought, given the awkward fit in his fists, that it was less for holding them like guns and more for attaching weapons or armorizors there.
I could see that. They expect us to use the Earthrise trailer, so they maintained compatibility with the trailer's detachable bits.
They are more than willing to rotate in place if you so much as look at them, however. Which I guess was good enough for someone to go "looks safe here."
Legacy G1 Op:
YOU'VE GOT DE-TACH
DETACHABLE SMOKE-STAAAACKS

It actually looks really good with the earthrise trailer, I've got both the nonnef kit and the toyhax stickers on the trailer too. But I would still trade all that for the figure to be a voyager.
I'm okay with it how it is, to be honest. I thought I'd want bigger, but... well, it fits perfectly with the trailer between the center and Cerebros-side ramps of Fortress Maximus.
Looks like he's backed up to make a delivery to the loading bay of a store or something.

I think LU G1 Optimus' size makes him the perfect desk toy. And that's one of his strongest attributes.
I love ML Optimus, but it almost feels too pristine and prestige to take off the shelf. LU G1 Optimus, on the other hand, gets fiddled with all the time when I'm at my desk.

Nova Prime and Nacelle are getting reissued. Nacelle is a weird choice, but that Nova Prime is probably the best that mold ever got.
will the nacelle reissue be mold-free this time
Hasbro Pulse just put up preorders for both.

Likewise, TFSource and BBTS have also put up preorders, meaning these rereleases aren't exclusive to Amazon this time around.

Nova is my fifth current pre-order. Normally, I don't do this, but I'm not missing out on the primes.
And four of those five are from a local store. Kinda proud of myself.

I'm tempted by Nova. Never had any real interest in him originally, but with a whole assortment of Primes incoming, I'm more inclined to give him a spot on the shelf.
So we'll now have the 13, Nova, Sentinel, Optimus, and Rodimus. That's everyone who has toys from the G1 lineage of Primes, right?
