Third party vendor Nato-bot has released some final production images of their upcoming gun and head set for Universe Roadbuster, which appears to have turned out very nice. To view the images of the final product, click on the link below:

Oh wow! That just really couldn't look any better! I REALLY hope it goes on sale soon!

Glad I pre-ordered this, I really like the extra pieces they added to the head.

That is so awesome. I'm so glad I got my pre-order in.

That is looking TOOOOO SWEEEEEET! I'm happy that they added the back piece that gives RB his "ears". Great work that makes a failed figure an awesome one!

Looks very nice. I might try and get this, I need a Roadbuster first though.

Will this thing be avaliable thru BBTS or TF source ot just thru the linked webpage?

BBTS hasn't made any rumblings about getting any

So when I pre-ordered this I got an email that said I would receive payment instructions when the product becomes available. Is this what happened with the rest of you guys who pre-ordered. I haven't heard anything since. I also pre-ordered the TFA Prime axe, and haven't heard anything about it either.

El Duque, Nato said that payment instructions would be going out soon earlier in the week. But I don't have any information about the axe.

I think his website lists an E-mail. Send him a message and find out what's going on.


Oh yea, the gun looks great and I'm glad I got my preorder in for the full set.

God me too! So excited to get this set...It's been SO worth the wait!


And as for the BBTS thing, I'm fairly certian Nato-Bot is handling all the sales rather than sending them through an online retailer...


And it seems that the axe was put on hold while RB was being worked on...Hopefully it will come out sometime in the future...If this RB set is as awesome as it looks, I'll definately buy the axe too...

When I spoke to Natobot, he said this preorder list for Roadbuster was huge while the list for the Prime axe was relatively small.

Probably why the Roadbuster upgrade is their first priority

I placed a request for a second roadbuster set, to hopefully give him the double canon look from this preview pics on his site.

Thanks, I'm not really that concerned about the axe anyway. Really looking forward to the RB set though.

Nice but i have no use for it since i couldnt find the two pack that contained the figure.

Well, no more pre-orders are being taken so I guess the 1st run is sold out. If anyone has an extra pre-orderd they want to sell or trade hit me up! Otherwise, I will be wating for e-bay or a second casting.

bummer that the pre-orders are out i hope the waiting list isnt too long because i love this set, didnt even realise i could pre-order it!

Yea, me either, and the more I looked at it, the more I wanted it. Hopefully they will have enough to fill my order. I really only want the head (would be nice to get two of the cannons, but one doesn't do much for me, and it isn't worth spending a total of $50 on a $10 figure to get all the stuff.

Can one order directly from them?

Yea, as far as I know that is the only way to order one. I put my name on the waiting list. Just click on the link and follow the directions to get on the list.

WOO HOOO!!! Nato just sent me an invoice for the Roadbuster kit! They were sold out before back in March and Nate said that if he did a second run or something happend where he couldn't fill an order he would invoice me. Paid up today! I have wanted a Classics Roadbuster forever and now I will have one!

Anyone else whom wanted one and they were sold out got an invoice?

Looks good...I may have to get a set.

I missed the original preorder and only just realised that they were running the waiting list. Fired off an email and got the following automated response.

The bit about processing new orders grabbed my attention. Could this and OM's invoice indicate that a second run is in the offing?

Here is the e-mail I got from Natobot out of the blue yesterday. Keep in mind, back in March, I tried to pre-order but they were sold out. I asked for a heads up if one (or more) became available. (I got the same e-mail as you today as well waaaaghlord.)

Wow! this is the first I have heard of this..what is pretty interesting to me, is that the Roadbuster images look as if they are going to be the basis for the fan's Project Springer armor that we saw with the FP Powered commander booklet..

am I crazy???

Hmmm...Well I guess Natobot is re-releasing this kit or at least having another run at it. My checks in the mail so I can't wait to get it. If this is news I wonder if I can get credited? Hmmmm....I guess we need more proof than an e-mail invoice to me?
