Masterpiece Optimus Prime is hitting Toys R Us UK stores this week. If you pop along to your local store and the figure is not already on the shelf you should be able to pre-order the toy for £99 which works out as $155. He's taken his time in arriving but the figure is expected to sell well.
Happy hunting

tfg2 has posted an image showing that the Terrorcons are making a comback within Transformers Prime Beast Hunters as their will be a Legion Class Abominus combiner figure. The figures will be released within the US as a Target Exclusive and so are lilkey to see a Tesco's Direct release here within the UK
As you can see the names of some of the G1 characters have had to change due to trademark issues, however the figures are a nice homage to the original characters.

Protomanx has posted some more images of the grey prototype of BTS Novalord (not-Overlord) onto his Twitter page with the promise that there is "More to come later today on TFW, and later this week......... ROBOT MODE!". The new images include pictures of all three vehicle modes (tank, jet and aircraft carrier) along with a size comparison to the original Generation One toy. From the images, this figure is going to be huge in robot form though it will probably have a very high price tag.
You can view all of the images after the jump.
