Grea news as this means the MMC Fembots are ready to ship out and MMC can focus on the next project. Which is the DJD and their repainted retools toys then Carnifex.

How many new sculpts did MMC create for these fembots? Do all the MMC fembots all use the same base mold but with some slight retooled parts?

Lowest price for Shadow Emissary on eBay is $180 + shipping.

You're welcome

I thought it was out of stock everywhere. BBTS have 24+ available, so I can take some time in deciding (along with Stealth Azalea). Thanks!

How do you check the quantity at BBTS? I've looked in the past, but haven't found an obvious way.

Just type in the highest number you can think of in the quanity box then press the update quanity button. then you'll see 24 quanity .

In the post buyers at BBTS use to be able to see the entire quanity BBTS had on items they were selling. Buyers were able to type 9999999 in the quanity box, press update and see the actual quanity number, example 1, 345 avalable in stock.

The reason why BBTS changed their quanity to only show 24, is because BBTS feared some weren't ordering right away and waiting for items to go on clearance before they bought.

Put it in your cart and increase the quantity.

They used to show their entire stock of an item, but now they cap it and only show a max of 24 units.

Overlord seems to be sort of an obscure character that is low priority on MMC's list. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets pushed back for an Abominus to compete with Ordin.

Though you can't tell how many above 24 are in stock, you get a sense when the stock shifts from standard to sub.

I wonder where/if I will be able to get that....

Griffith76, one of the MMC designers gave a recent interview. saying that MMC had no plans to quickly create, release and compete with other 3rd party companies creating abonimus and seacons toys. Griffith76, in the interview says these MMC combiners are way off into the future. As Griffith76, doesn't want to do a rush job that he was slightly un-happy with feral rex.

Renderform-Veneska, mentioned in a reply and a few PM's to me, That he saw further designs sketches and test shots of Carnifex. So it's doubtful MMC would push back Carnifex to release Abonimus.

I thought people already saw prototypes of Carnifex at autoassembly but were asked to not take pictures. And they must have listen cause nothing leaked.

See whenever you mention Carnifex I think of this:



(A Tyranid Carnifex from Warhammer 40,000)

Incidentally, if anyone made a Transformer that turned into an articulated Tyranid Carnifex I would cry tears of joy.

Yeah that's what I remember reading months ago also. Wondering if that was done to give TFCon Chicago more reveals that most in the states hadn't seen yet.

Either way, I'm hoping those AutoAssembly reveals are at TFCon Chicago and pictures are allowed to get taken this time.

Why is this toy selling for almost double than the mass release Azalea Pink arcee is?
Don't see any remolded parts on the black version.

Get that it's a convention exclusive but at least do some remolded parts to make the double price seem sorta worth it.

Don't want the toy but If I did, I'd buy the regular $59.99 version not the almost double price convention exclusive.

When I buy newer TF toys, Could care less about owning rare low numbers toys. Just care about owning the mold. Don't buy TF toys for investments buy them cause I like the sculpts and characters.

And, you answered your own question...

That's fine that you feel that way. Obviously others (including myself) do not. What is your point in pointing out these sorts of complaints? I can see that you don't like it, but it kind of feels like you are attacking both the companies (MMC at this time, based on other recent comments) and those who support and like their products. Is that what you want to do with these comments?

(And if you'd like a lesson in the economics of supply and demand, I can do that, but I think that'd be kind of boring for this topic, don't you think?)

Personally, I kind of like the idea of exclusives like Stealth Assassin. Aside from representing a character I like in a way that I appreciate, I like having something somewhat unique in my collection. That was what was appealing to me about the FP Galacial Bots too. And as long as there is enough interest (and based on the eBay prices, there appears to be plenty of interest) your comments seem somewhat off-base.

Agamemnon wrote:As long as there is enough interest (and based on the eBay prices, there appears to be plenty of interest) your comments seem somewhat off-base.

yeah seriously. some people were recently willing to spend 300+ on one of these, and youre complaining about the 110 price? most people in this thread jumped for joy when they saw that.

its not about "owning the mold" to me. i dont need this arcee or her clones cause hastak has us covered. nightbird however is obscure enough for hastak to miss, and i think thats the spot everyone is trying to fill with this figure.

and sure itd be great if every re-use of a mold meant extensive retooling and remolding, but thats just not rational. i can live with stealth assassin the way she is, but i would even spend more money if say, renderform made a better head for her.

The Spider-Man speaks sense! Spider sense!

This little lady has been back in stock at BBTS the last few days:

They're labeling it 'Final Stock' on their home page. Funny how it was a convention 'exclusive' before, they got some stock, and then they got even more? Doesn't seem so exclusive to me. Might not have picked it up if I had known if BBTS was going to get more in later. The implication was that they weren't.

I'm just waiting for the day they offer the * Exclusive. Still not in my collection.
