Gotta agree here.

Yep, just read that in my inbox. It's too bad but I can see why. It appears to be an exact replica of the WfC character model for Omega Supreme and Hasbro and/or High Moon could certainly pursue legal action if they chose to. BBTS, being based in the US, has to be a lot more careful about that kind of thing than other etailers.
As good as their cust service dept is, what a bunch of pu**ies...
I think this is probably more likely a case of BBTS not wanting to get stuck with a bunch of $350, 11lb, 3rd party figures that could have some serious QC issues (have these guys made anything else?). I mean, they still have various devies from Maketoy and TFC.

No sign of those lanky arms guys!
Get those pre-orders placed again, eh?

Still, very very nice.

How about some reviews of a finished product?

Yep, this guy's definitely not Classics scale. He's WfC scale, which means he's supposed to tower over the WfC/FoC toys, which he clearly will. I'm still tempted to get him, but I'll have to wait and see how it goes. I had him preordered on BBTS until they pulled the plug. If I can scrounge up the funds, I'll get him at one of the other etailers possibly. I hope these guys do a Trypticon too. That would be epic.
