Agreed...I can't wait for this thing to go on clearance!

If you want to add this holy grail to your collection -- and what self-respecting collector wouldn't? -- then suck it up and pay BBTS prices (while you still can!), or check eBay around New Year's... you might be able to score one *slightly* cheaper.

Yeah, they said they have no plans to make Artfire and Nightstick. Guido Guidi said that he just made up that design for them on his own, using those existing toy molds as inspiration.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Rodimus Minor wrote:Oh hell yes can't wait to get mine come on united repaint inferno into steppers partner (Can't remember the name)
Artfire with that PCC Pinpoint repaint sounds nice, but probably ain't gonna happen.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Why would you want to do that?
CHMS would have less toy designs to steel then.

You got a good point. But actually they need each other. CHMS needs the molds. Hasbro needs someone to knock out all the repaints they will never do because little kids wont buy them. CHMS doesnt hurt Hasbro's profits. CHMS only KO's figures that are either no longer available through retail or never were. CHMS doesnt KO figures that Hasbro is currently selling. The only people who's profits get hurt by CHMS are e-bay dealers. And that helps us collectors because it forces them to bring down their outrageous prices if you prefer the original.
