The more I see, the more I am getting turned off. It definitely looks nice, but it doesn't see to fit the bill of what I am looking for: Anime accurate bots and the PE one doesn't cut it either.

I'm pretty sure these are new pictures, and it's looking pretty good to me. I may get this .

What page are they ? On page 1 all I saw was the old pics. Let me go back and look again.

Edit:

i see the difference now but they look similar to the last batch of pics. I was looking for color prototypes by now.

The weibo link ? Dont you have to have a Weibo account to view them ? Ive wanted to open one but there is no english translation on Weibo.

Edit:

i finally saw the new pics. Im not a fan of the black camera. I wanted G1 colors.

Nope, I meant the link contained in the word these in my quoted post above. It's a direct link to the post containing the new pics in this very topic (no Weibo account required as I saw them yet I have no Weibo account myself).

Gotcha. Just curious, does anyone know how to open a weibo account without knowing Japanese. How are these news crews getting on Weibo ?

I have not seen this mentioned yet and figured this would be the best spot. Robotkingdom now has TFC-07 listed as in stock. So within a week or to the other dealers should start receiving their stock.

Edit: Just noticed that they have a lot of things listed as in stock that are really just preorders so I may have jumped the gun on this, I don't browse their site often enough.

Yeah, I'm afraid you've jumped the gun. RobotKingdom's 'In Stock' status denotes that they have a product available to order whether it is in-hand stock or numbers they are expecting to receive. The title of the listing and the description both state that it's still a pre-order.

I really like the camera mode of this. I already have the PE versions, though.

Damn it's tempting.

Yeah. Between that, and the different size of the bots, this is a pass for me. It's a shame, because the alt mode looks pretty great. Still prefer Scouting force.

Much more reasonably priced than I had expected. Too bad I no longer trust Robotkingdom with preorders. What do we think, $120 at TFSource? Then BBTS goes to $130 and TFSource matches that! :twisted:
