Not sure, I think it was based on how many pre-orders they got. Then I heard it was something like 2,000. So... who knows?

That's what I heard, which is why I got my pre-order in pretty much the day it was announced. As one of the people who'd bitched about TC being a Botcon exclusive, it would have been pretty hypocritical of me not to get him. And my hypocrisy goes only so far.

Waiting on Henkei Skywarp... I requested shipment of my items but I haven't gotten confirmation that they shipped yet. :-(

Getting Henkei Skywarp and Animated Skywarp coming in the same parcel (And a Nogizaka Haruka figure, but I'm sure you guys don't care about that. :p), so that's going to be awesome, better than any Christmas morning don't ye doubt.

Other than that... nothing much to report. When I did my shopping after work I noticed Jazz was missing from the TFA shelf, but then I found him hidden behind the Star Wars Transformers. That was my adventure for the day.

Yeah, I'm so bored. Someone talk to me. =(

no one says there will be a better paint scheam im just thinking there might be what with starscream getting a universe update and this new special edition line coming out and all
the henkei version is good but no great theres too much red where it shouldnt be and that chrome chest doesnt do it for me eather

and i would have to go to the bank to put money in my account, the only money ive got recently was a lil bit of cash in hand work

That was my guess. Actually, I guessed a set of Wheelies. Wheelimus Prime, Wheelatron, Sidewheel, Wheelscream, etc.

I am curious as to how scalpers have already got their mits on these sets...

I mean, £70? That's almost twice what we've payed!



I just wish they were with us already...
Now I'm gonna have to hope they are released before my parents visit my uni next weekend...



EDIT:- Wow, that really sucks MP...
The post is awful. They didn't even ring the doorbell this morning when they brought a package. They just dropped a slip...

Happy birthday at least MP! ;)
