I did that with unicron and still wasn't quick enough! Then it seems like some of those who got their pre order turn around and scalp it.

I agree with you on the fact that Amazon exclusives sell out fast. It's because so many people have accounts with them and so many people shop on Amazon.
When Unicron came out it was mayhem to say the least. I can't remember exactly, but it sold out several times, and I don't remember it even being offered for per-order either.
I did finally get him the morning of the 2nd day of his release, and he finally sold out that day.

I got lucky this morning as I check the TF news and forums each morning before I get ready for work. When I saw the post, i knew it was going to go fast, so i jumped on it. Seems most of the good news happens in the morning or late in the evening.

I hope you get yours man. I can't stand the scalpers either, but everyone these days is trying to make a buck anyway they can. It's the darker side of our hobby. Demand = Scalpers.

damn, I love fighting games and have been watching the EVO stream all day and missed the G2 Bruti pre-order because of that

Funny thing that the origin of the G2 bruticus picture states "On shelf OCT 2012"... So, is this an Asian exclusive, and distributed in the US only through Amazon?

DAMMIT THOSE FIGURES ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Nice! I totally forgot we had seen this sets pics before. Looks great. Thanks for reminding me we had an actual pic.

I tried to jump on the Bruticus since about a half an hour after it was first posted but every single time I go to it there is no photo, price, and the item is no longer available. Then I keep reading about other people who ordered it successfully after all the times it's told me their not the droids I'm looking for. What the hell is going on?

EDIT: Searching "G2 Bruticus" gets no hits and "Transformers Bruticus" has everything but this thing. Seriously, an Urban Fiction book and Predaking come up but not this FoC Bruticus!

Sure the one day my Internet goes down

I hope bruticus comes back up soon, I don't want the regular version and the sdcc is to much. Plus the g2 has g2 con symbols.

Now if only Hasbro will give us one for Striker Prime but with removable smoke stacks. So I can use the Hasbro Jetwings on it.

I wonder if it's just going to be a repackage of the Japanese Jetwing Prime or if there will be any plastic color or paint variations. I hope it's different, otherwise I'm gonna have to throw it up on ebay.

Huzzah!!

I've been wanting JW Prime for a very long time, but the $200.00 and up price tag was always a bit daunting. I set up my pre-order on the night this posting came out since $104.00 with free shipping is MUCH easier on the pocketbook. Once again I'm glad I waited!

I wonder when it will actually be ready to ship?
