Welcome to TFL! That's an activation link and not a link to view your item. You're going to have to upload the image to an offsite photo hosting website (like Photobucket), then copy/paste the "img" link here. I'm sure somebody here will be able to help you out. :wink:

I'm not very good with the computer but I will try to post a pic later. I've never used photobucket but I'll give it a try.

Photobucket is what I use and it's pretty easy to navigate. There are other sites you can check out like imageshack or tinypic, too. Look forward to seeing what you have and seeing you around! :)

That's from the Cybertron line. It's a repaint of the Leader Optimus Prime, or Galaxy Force.

I have the original Blue + Red version, mine is stamped 2004.

I mirrored the pic for all to see.

(edit: fixed the original post - Jose)

The stamp date is typically 1 year before the release of the first mold (about the time it takes them to reach the market), in this case, normal leader prime
http://www.transformerland.com/show_par ... 8&genid=25
which was released in 2005.
After some time, they released the repaint 'Galaxy Force', yes, in 2006.

It's not common for something to be stamped and end up on the market the next day :)

It's a 2004 toy!!!

Obviously it is a 2004 toy but usually some people do make mistakes in life

but if others say it's a 2006 toy it's not because Energon ran from late 2005

to late 2006 early 2007 so clearly it must be an Armada toy from the early

2003-04 era so if I told you about this toy's facts correctly or incorrectly

let me know okay.
