So he costs USD70, pretty close to the estimate that was posted earlier, Meaning Afro-Megs will cost around 80, yea I should have that till Feb.

The look like the Hasbro reissue missiles, but shorter.

I was $10 off. It does'nt matter. I'm going to make my preorder as I've been wanting one of these for a while. Does anyone know if the packaging will be identical to the original?
I think the missles new are to be used to identify it from the original.

That would be cool! I'd like to have more artwork instead of a art card.

I think I am gonna have to wait till my new Credit Card arrives, my current one expires in november, and Im not sure how it works on this preorder stuff. Hope this doesn't screw up my HTS pre-orders.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is easily the best time EVER to be a Transformers fan. The great products just keep coming and coming!

If E-hobby Megs is priced lower than what Encore Megs is going for on Ebay then I'll likely buy one.

If you ask me, I'd say that's a good price for Sunstorm. Seeing how the first release will easily cost you $200 on the ebay market.

I actually tried to get him for $200 a couple times a while ago on ebay and got outbid, so I have no problem with that price.

The thing is, this isn't the first release - in my opinion that changes things.

One more to my collection, but like some Seibertron members said, i hope they make this one on the universe line, but seriously i prefer to see this one added on the Henkei because normally Takara puts the correct colors on them.

Although the downside to a henkei release would be the addition of chrome, which i see working even less witht this paintscheme.
I'm actually hoping funpub does a universe sunstorm, sure it will be pricey...but it will more likely be done right(imho).

Is it just me, or do those Mickey Mouse hands look silly to anyone else?
