After several weeks of waiting, those who have sent away for the ROTF Recon Ravage may be seeing him arriving in their local mailboxes! Member allcody reports that he has just received his figure, and includes an image of the accompanying letter and shipping packaging!

front paged. Thanks for the head's up!

It is nice to see the US buyers who went this route get a little extra for their patience.

The letter is a pretty cool touch, but if I got a letter like that and I saw a 5 dollar off coupon on the corner, I'd be like wtf. I , mean that could be the reward, but....

Now that I know what it all looks like I know I'm keeping mine in the box.. I have no need for the $5 off figures I don't need.. It's cool the box has the NEST logo on it :-B

technically the cupon's a seperate piece of paper leaning against the letter.

Ok! I finally got around to taking some pics, and let me tell you.. this kitty is chromed out! It definitely sets it apart from the rest of the ROTF line. It's almost Henkei-like in that way.

Here's some comparison to the original. It's a lot louder, and not necessarily in a bad way.

And as for the coupon, it is a separate piece of paper, so no worries about cutting the letter up. I just propped it up as part of the pic, as already stated.

you should just take off all the cooler chrome parts and add them to the black ravage, it would look way better
but then again i'm not into the rotf line.

Yep, the closing date was April 30th, and the ultimate date of Hasbro receiving the application is May 14th. Fortunately for you, Recon Ravage has been released as a Toys 'R Us exclusive in Canada, maybe someone up north can hook you up with one.

Woo-HOO! I got captured Recon Ravage in the mail today! See attached, Bobblmus Prime nods in approval.

I'm going to embrace my geekiness and frame the letter from Optimus Prime, with my NEST patch. Yep.

FWIW I sent my check on 3/1, it was cashed on 3/16, and I'm in the Chicago suburbs.

just got mine too! It's all shiny and chromey, I love him. The letter is a nice touch and the coupon makes up for the 4.95 shipping.

Doesn't the coupon expire in like June or July? Will the new line be out before the thing expires?

Also, it it shipped in the white Nest box? It's raining a lot here lately (as it does this time of year) and I don't want the Nest box getting crappy if it's sitting out on the step in the rain all day...
