anyone else feel that FP could cash in on the sidearm majorly by retooling it into the three other targetmasters that are out/coming out? recoil, fracas and haywire could possibly be something for them to consider

I'd prefer brand new molds, but I'm desperate enough that I would accept retools.

Good, very good.........now when will they show up on BBTS? :BANG_HEAD:

BBTS will have them soon, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they don't already have them same as TFsource. You'll notice they say they haven't even unpacked them yet and it will take a few days to process orders. Possibly just a tactic to steal a few more last minute pre-orders from other retailers for those in hopes of getting this a little quicker. Not hating on them for it, I would do the same thing.

as would i, but they'd be a better alternative to the takara repaints of the PCC minicons into the g1 targetmasters

Ahh, that is the great downside to BBTS. They can often be last to the party.

Just got mine from Toya arena today. This pains me to say but Im somewhat UNDERwhelmed by the kit..From first eye view it is beautiful.The level of detail is spot on, FP really outdid themselves on this one. Once you start to break down the set into the armor IMO is when the underwhelming feeling came over.

I know they tried to make the trailer and leftover parts actually do something besides fold over (A'la city commanders BFG) but once you have it set up it just kind of , does nothing. It does look alot better than the BFG and the inclusion of the little vehicle is cool but I just don't get that feeling of AWE like I did when I opened up CC.

Once you have him assembled he is greatly improved. He can stand amongst the other FP creations quite well

It will be in stock tomorrow at BBTS.

Ok all please remind me. Like a dork I can't remember where TFsource hail from? I also wanna mention in case not many have noticed that Toyarena has got TFX-04 priced slightly higher than TFsource and BBTS. I shop Toyarena often so I was quite surprised to see a higher price. I wonder if the price will drop to compete all around cause I would suspect fans will wait and not pay their price...'nuff said.

Umm I just got mine from Toya arena and also have one on order from BBTS and they are the same price. Toy arena just has the Sidearm set tacked on in a combo so instead of ordering 2 seperate items you just order 1.I'm looking at both prices right and it's the same...

Just watched Peaugh's review..I know vangelus beat him to it but peaugh does explain what that little do0hicky was for..I was totally clueless LOL..once he showed it I was ..ahhh Ok... It's kind of goofy but nonetheless at least Fp tosss something in unexpected..
