It was probably only up cause someone canceled their Pre-Order.

Any plans to reissue this figure? It seemed like a small batch.

Have you tried TFSource? I had to send mine back to BBTS because of an odd breakage issue. They had none to replace it with so I took the credit. TFSource had some in stock a few weeks ago so I bought (pre-ordered) one from them. Seems they're out now but I'd keep watching both stores in case preorders get cancelled.

Back in stock in case anyone is still on the hunt for one of these bad boys.

I got mine a couple weeks ago for $120 including shipping from China and I love it! And because of MTMTE I had to go out and get FOC Rewind to go with him. It have the easiest complicated transformation I have ever seen. Highly recommend if anyone is on the fence about!

(Seriously, be sure to pick up a Rewind too!)

yeah the transformation is very nice, but quite clever. I'd put him in alt mode a few weeks back and transformed him the other day, and got a mite bamboozled by the legs for a minute or two. Remembered the hood/chest trick though!

Sweet, beware though he has no ankle tilts.. lol =X

I think they only raised the price by 5 bucks. Originally it was $69.99. so not too bad.

yeah, I'd say that's an okay price, especially if you're a fan of either of the characters, the gimmick or the 70s wallpaper colour-scheme.

Actually, the white bittys on the legs indented into the brown, always make me think of some kind of biscuit, maybe the inside of a Penguin or something. Not sure that's a selling point, but it's something I've noticed and enjoyed.

I just have to say that this is the greatest sentence I have read in some time. Thank you! If I had been drinking anything it would now be all over my monitor. :lol:

(Not sure I want to know how you know what the inside of a penguin looks like...)

So they are reissuing this with a more G1 paint scheme.

All that and they still couldnt make the faceplate orange ? :BANG_HEAD:

Seems to be only more toon accurate if you want japanime. If youre going for the rebirth vibe like I am, the only thing this one offers is a red waist. Not worth double dipping like with mania king.
