Buy Optimus

Written by GL

I was just doing some random surfing on Big Bad Toy Store and came across something that just blows my mind.

A company called 86 Hero has just manufactured a 6.5 foot tall figure of (none other than) Optimus Prime. Mother of many monkeys! That's about the same height as Kal-El! Check out the below script from the website:

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the immense size of this item, it can only be shipped on a pallet to a location with a loading dock or other receiving facility. The statue comes in several large pieces that require minor assembly, and it will be packed in four huge shipping boxes on pallets. The statue weighs around 175 pounds (80kg), stands over 6.5 feet tall (2 Meters), and is limited to only 200 pieces worldwide. This item is fully licensed by Hasbro. The shipping fee for Domestic customers will be between $300 to $600 depending on your location, please disregard the shipping fee the system generates as this will be a custom semi-truck shipment. We may be able to work out a special shipping scenario to individuals without a dock, but it would likely be quite expensive, you might look into having it shipped to a work address or contact a local small business.

This monster is going for US$3999 or B$6200! Only for the richest, or the craziest, collector out there.

Note: I didn't choose to post the website image of figure because I haven't been able to find a suitable picture that represents the above figure accurately. See if you guys can find one.
