they re releasing optimus? Or is this something else?
Nevermind it's the prime with trailer.
It's also a lot smaller. Honestly, I prefer the original Masterpiece. Both versions have their advantages, but in the end, I think the original is just a much more impressive toy.
I do like that the new Optimus will be in scale with other Masterpieces going forward, but half of that is the fact that all Masterpieces going forward will be too small, imo.
As far as being hard to find in-store, some have been, and others have sat on shelves forever.
And yeah, you'll be able to get this on the Toys R Us web store. I got Rodimus there. The trick is, though, that it will come and go from the store multiple times as they get more in, but there's no telling how many times that will be before it's gone for good. So if you want one, grab one as soon as you see it.
