Far more than I'm willing to pay, that's for sure. Seriously, much as I want him, there is no way I'll pay more than $120 for him. I mean, Metroplex for $100 is too much for me, and he's got a chrome face!

Seems like a waste of money when Hexatron is in the works. And a leather collectors box ??? REALLY ??? REALLY ??? :BANG_HEAD:

Man, I really regret selling my Sixshot for a pittance when I was 12

That said, couldn't justify buying this. I'll wait for the Masterpiece.

now i want this even more, but its way to expensive & I can think of much better ways to spend almost $200.

You can buy an original for far less than this. I don't see too many selling until the price drops.

There's catering to the adult fan market, and then there's overkill.

Guess which one this falls under.

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?? What did they do, were they like "Oh hey, the aftermarket value for the twenty year old toy is about 100-130 ish right? So let's make reissue the mold and charge nearly TWICE that! It's genius, what could go wrong!?"

=_=;

Wow, I'm glad someone mentioned. The comparison between hexatron and pricing is eye opening. I hope Hasbro and Takara can start to get a vision of what we're looking for and what we want to pay for. (The Masterpiece line is at least going the right direction.) But wow, this is too pricey for a chrome gun set. :sad:

How much is Hexatron?

I am interested in hearing someone's opinion from Singapore or Thailand regarding the Sixshot exclusive. Are folks there really interested in this figure with the leather collector's box?

I picked up a Takara reissue back in '07 at SDCC. Payed $120 for it. My wife thought I was nuts. Bet she'll change her mind after seeing this price. I, personally expected to be around $160 to $170 anyways, so big surprise on price. But I'm happy with mine, so I don't see a need in buying "Sixshot the Gimp".....

I preordered one. I wasn't planning to as I have a G1 Sixshot which is in excellent shape that I picked up a while back on ebay for around $60 (a hell of a deal), but once I heard Takara was going to use metallic paint, well, I'm a sucker for what Takara can do with some metallic paint.

Once I see some final pics, if it doesn't look sufficiently awesome, I'll cancel the preorder.

Pffffft!....184 BUCKS???!!!? The crazy bastards! 8-}

I was originally intrigued by the metallic paint apps so i popped into BBTS then POW! i see that price tag. Craziness i tell ya. Not in a million years would i pay that price for Sixshot repainted.
I'll wait for Hexitron thanks.

184 bucks.......ridiculous.

Same here. I picked mine up off E-Bay for around the same price before the first reissue.

However, simply can't justify that sort of money for shineyness on a figure that isn't all that great to begin with.

Silly. $200 is ridiculous, regardless of chrome and silver paint.

I just bought an original for $70 last year. He's missing one of the guns, but other than that he's in pristine condition. I'm really glad I got him then instead of waiting for this reissue.

There's a local preorder for $130 US here... But then again, it's a brick. 6 modes of brick. And the price is kinda high when compared to a G1 one. I saw a complete g1 in great condition for $110 US the other day... :S

Might pass this...
