$145.00 before shipping and due out late October. I contacted BBTS and they will not be carrying this. TFsource is currently gauging interest in a possible pre-order via their facebook page. Sounds like this thing may have relatively low production numbers.

I'm going to go for it. It would be gool to have a Classics God Ginrai on my shelf.

What is up with BBTS lately? Maybe I was right when I said a while back that I suspected they were getting away from the third party stuff?

Oh well, I had to have Hegemon (who is frickin' AWESOME by the way !) and I have to have this, so i preordered it from RK.

$42 shipping...ouch .

I paid $187 for this thing total, but I think it will be worth it judging by the pics and God knows I'd be kicking myself later if I didn't snatch it up when I had the chance.

When someone gets this in, please post a review.

I think I like it, but I'm not sure I like it for $180 to my door.

It seems like more of a $100 item for me, but a review could sway me.

I don't care for the base mode, but I'll be getting 1 for the robot mode. If the price drops a bit. Looks badass.

These pictures look beautiful, but I agree with you. Besides, Xovergen needs to instill some consumer confidence after their last project, widely considered a failure.

I really like this, but ... the red they chose does not match Henkei Prime. But I'll probably get this anyway.

Robot Kingdom has a preorder, but it's pretty pricy.

I've already got it on preorder and have a Classics Prime standing by for it. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will salvage XOvergen's reputation.

I'll get one if TFsource gets them, i'm sick of paying Int. Shipping.

Ginrai from the G1 Super Ginrai also fits him, right?

And what was Xovergen's last project, deemed a failure?

G1 OP will fit this. Xovergen's Supreme Tactical Commander failed. Lots of QC issues.

Thought so...

Googled it. 1st result? Seibertron.com

And yes, it looks like major fail.

Sadly, I think this is my favorite part of the set. If I could just buy those, I would. The rest doesn't look terrible (other than the base & trailer mess), but something just feels a little... off. Not sure if it's the head with buggy eyes, or the proportions, or the odd-looking truck in the middle of the chest...

I don't care for the Classics Prime mold, I'll be using my G1 Ginrai for the new trailer. So when I get it, I can sell those to you if you want. Those seem to go with just the Classics version.

That would be awesome of you. If you're still down for that when you get it, just let me know & we'll work something out. Thanks!

Anyone know when exactly this is going to be released?

Now we just need an updated Overlord or Black Zarack for him to tango with.

never heard any outstanding reviews about their last project so with a heftier price tag this shall be a pass..shame too, I really got into Master force when shout released it and was sort of looking forward to it..

No worries, I don't expect this one to sell out super quickly so I'm sure you'll have time to check out some reviews once it's been released to determine if it's worth the $ to you or not and to give you the heads up on any QC issues.

I can't pass it up myself. I already preordered it long long ago and I can't wait until it gets here.

Sorry if this is a stupid question (I know nothing of this series), but does this toy have any connection to the G1 1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime?

Homage/Update to Masterforce.
