Can't believe I've just done this, but I bought this guy from RK Never bought anything from them before, so hope it goes well.

That's where I bought mine. The only issue I had was that they did not include the LED's, but I emailed them about it and they sent them to me, so no hassle and good customer service.

Glad to hear it. The only other place I know of to buy it from is CP and after putting in two orders with them and not having the second order added to the first (which screwed me on shipping (by fans for fans my arse )) I refuse to go through them again.

As it turns out, buying from RK it was only $2 more shipped than CP before shipping, so clearly I made the right choice

Might take a bit of force, but it's not too bad.

well that worked..thanks!!

ToyArena has him as well, but he's about $70 more expensive there. Not sure how much the shipping would be to where you are.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. He looks quite amazing when you load up all the LEDs (especially that one and the one inside his cannon arm).

$57 shipping from RK, so that's still the best option thankfully (seeing as I've already paid ).

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Here is production sample of the head tank with faceplate on it.
It will be given out to the First 20 winners who have the photos with most "Likes"
With less than 10 days, do not miss the chance to get it!

Planet X!

here's how Genesis looks like with the new head (yayy! )

Wow... that's ugly

Gonna stick with what he came with, to me it looks better.

wow it kinda does look ugly =X

looks like a monk

looks like a monk

Trappist, or Shaolin?

I quite like the new face, not enough to do anything about it. Thing is still mega expensive, but the option to use the new head is cool. Kinda surprised it wasn't in the original, tbh.

Up for pre-order at BBTS for $369.99.

First QuakeWave, now this. Ok, did someone hack BBTS?!?!!?!?!

And, to use the overquoted phrase: I've gotta get me one of those!

wow another one. Hasbro must not care too much about Third party anymore since they didn't care at Botcon. hmmm.. maybe this whole anti-third party thing was all Aaron Archer. I heard many designers at Hasbro has third party items in their personal collection. I wonder if this will change the anti-third party attitude on this site as well.

We can only hope, but neither Genesis nor Quake Wave are front paged yet.

Oh.....fuuuuuuuuuuuuudddddddddddgggggggggge

I didn't need to stay married to my accountant...

I don't think Ryan's decision had anything to do with Has/Tak. I think he just sees it as being something separate from official Transformers and wants the site to reflect official Transformers news and info on the front page. I'm inclined to agree with him, and having the front page reserved for official product news, it makes it much easier for me to follow that stuff, then, once I'm done checking out all of that, I just come here and get caught up on the 3rd party stuff I'm interested in. I like it the way it is now, so I hope that doesn't change. The constant bombardment of 3rd party stuff on the front page was just too much and made things (official or otherwise) way too hard to keep track of/keep up with since the front page can only contain so much news and if you try to view more news, it shows the entire news posts, pictures and all, which made it a tedious task at best to try and get caught up.

Now, the front page shows the latest Has/Tak stuff, so I skim the list and open the page to any product/news I'm interested in in a new tab, read up on it, comment on it if I see the need, then once I'm done with that, I come here, check out the list of new threads/new responses, then do the same as I did on the front page. It's way more convenient (to me at least) this way.

Lots of stuff about this sites hypocritical 3P stance

Sorry, you miss-understood, we were talking about BBTS. At the time they hadn't front paged this and Quake Wave. Normally their new pre-orders hit the front page sooner and my comment was related to mooncake623's comment about BBTS's apparent change from not selling stuff that clearly infringes on Hasbro's IP, but that maybe they didn't want to advertise it to much because of the stance Hasbro has taken in the past. Sorry, probably should've been clearer

I think he meant front page on BBTS...

[Edit] And they are now front paged on BBTS (As of Sunday morning.)
