[Gauntlet101010]

Let the year of the cassettes begin! Between this, the LP release, and the MP version my cassette forces shall increae exponentially.

It's strange .... while I was indifferent to the white ipod version of Label SW when it was released I kinda like this version of SW. It'd be nice if there was a white-heavy version of Rumble and Frenzy to compliment Glit and this guy.

Soundwave looks cool, but not cool enough for that price. Blaster is kinda meh.

Now, who wants to play guess the price? I say $179.90 USD on the club store!

Ehobby has it listed for 13,900 yen roughly 177.00 US, so Im guessing most likely between 175 - 180.

At about $90 for each it's pretty steep compared to the Encore releases, but it's an ehobby release so that's to be expected.

Evil Blaster looks pretty sweet.

My guess was so accurate! Seriously, I know TFCC too well. Hahahaha. (Really, I did not check, it was a guess).

Ehobby release eh? Like Black MP Rodimus and Brown G1 megatron? Thoes 2 are still lingering around collector shops... Megatron started at around $80 US... Now he's down to $63... Black rodimus I don't even check the price anymore. Still, I'm not planning on picking these up.

Not all of them linger like that. But with deluxes getting smaller and pricier and the same being true for MPs, I can't say these are overpriced compared to Brown Megatron from years and years ago.

But I guess we'll see. I'm getting these mostly for the cassettes. Although I do like the look of Soundwave.

Black MP Rodimus is currently $175 at TF Source and $169.99 at BBTS. eBay BIN prices are $200-$225. I think it's a beautiful figure and I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn't so expensive.

I think I am going to pass. Mainly due to the fact that I am trying to be very picky about the pieces/sets I buy, especially since I already obtained the "Encore" version of Soundblaster. That, and the ignorant "debate" made against a point I was making with the "VSE" name and Takara Tomy banner (and not the set itself) was added to my reasons not to get it.

(I will be ignoring all counter-notions about said "debate." So keep those thoughts to yourself, please. )

But I digress... Looking at them, here are my feelings on this set:

: e-HOBBY adds another item to Takara Tomy's vintage* G1 set.
: Both e-HOBBY and TFCC (corrected my friend on this) are giving the Japanese fans their own Shattered Glass universe.
: We have a very good chance that we may see TFCC bring this set be tied to BOTCON, and receive a TFCC packaging.
: We have to wait until the comic is here to see what kind of events unfold, which means that it is a gamble when it comes to the fiction.
: TFCC has not yet said when or if they will reissue it on their front, which makes it a gamble for those who only want their stuff.
: This may be a another event-based limited set, which pretty much means that it has a high chance of being costly in the secondary/after-market.

All I can say is that if you have both the luck and the money, and do not care if a TFCC set comes out, then go for it. Just know that this piece is part of Takara Tomy's (*: 1985) VS (VSY?) line, so it continues e-HOBBY's tradition of adding figures to the 27 year old vintage line. That, and it is spun-off from the "Invasion" set, which also is based on a 27 year old tradition of importing U.S.-based Transformers (in their original packaging) to Japan.

The rest... Take a gamble and see if you made the right choice.

These look sweet! love the color schemes on these guys and not much into the shattered glass stuff, but these really get me and really want them! I thought Soundblaser and Twin Cast was nice, man these blow them out of the water for sure.

I found this over on tformers.com. The e-Hbobby site has posted bio's for the SG characters. They have been run through Google Translate so they may not be 100% accurate but they give a good look into the characters. Ratbat is Batman, so cool
