I am very excited for this but I need a couple more preorders to come in before I ship.

Oh, who cares? This thing is awesome anyway.

Does anybody know if Hardhead can still be found at a decent price? E-Bay prices are way expensive. :S

One other thing, does anybody know if Tesco or Sainsbury's had (or still have) any for sale?

Thanks.

Bummer... I asked because some years ago (circa 2007) I've found some Wallmart exclusive Marvel Legends (Giant Man series) at Woolworths.. and seeing that Tesco is in affiliation with Wallmart... I thought that I might find one there... :S

I am really looking forward to this guy. It's set like these that keep me on the third party wagon. It takes a sub-par repaint and transforms him into a nice modern representation with some character. Two rifles and a shoulder mounted canon don't hurt either

Got it ordered as well. I've heard good things about this one.

Ah, yes. Thanks. That review convinced me to buy this one.

2 days later and its still "in the warehouse"

I was hoping this would ship by now

I copied this from my post in the indiana sightings thread..

I received my Hardhead (hothead) from BBTS today, this set is incredible! it really does make your universe rendition truly special and stand out. If you are even remotely on the fence for this release I suggest getting it!

feels like the same plastic quality the universe figure is made from and is very well made. I will be keeping an eye out for any future upgrades or releases from Headrobots.

Got mine today, what an awesome little set! It really makes all the difference in the world. From mediocre at best repaint to showpiece.

Mine is currently on my desk at home so that I can marvel at is awesomeness :grin:

I particularly like fixes and add ons that require you to perform minor "surgery" on your TFs. gives you that added sense of earning it.

got and assembled mine last night. Such a great upgrade that takes a decent figure and makes him both awesome and a great homage to the past (Hardhead was one of my top 10 G1s when I was a kid).
