At this point, ebay is your only real option. No one has leftover stock. I just pointed a guy to a steal for one like two weeks ago on ebay. Look around.

Patience is your best friend right now. Ie got all the FP commanders and they took a looong time to get. Keep your eyes peeled on Bigbadtoystore.com's Vintage department. They tend to have a few gems in stock from time to time. I recently picked up a mixed lot of Commader parts from all 3 of the molds and i could almost put a whole City commander out of it, just missing the head peice..

If all you need is the head piece, this might do until you find the real one. Just don't take the hammer apart and you'll be fine.

Ebay all you got homie.What are you looking to spend? Im guessing a citycommander should be about 200,I could be wrong The one think I can think of that you can do is check out ioffer,I thought I saw some ko city commanders there for a decent price then find a ko Ultramagnus from KOtoys for fifteen bucks and bam ko city commander under 100.00Another thing you can do is just bite the bullet and get one off ebay. If you don't trust Ebay that is what PayPal is for,THey are pretty good about resolutions if ther is a problem.Good luck and let us know how it goes. :BOT:

Like everyone is saying, ebay is probably the your only option.
Robot Kingdom had some in-stock a few weeks ago, I even placed an order for it and a week later they sent me an email canceling my order because they oversold it :(.
At this point I don't mind getting a KO, however I've read reviews of the KO having issues with the arm pieces not clipping in.

I have that set as well along with every run of the commander armor. I picked up the loose set because it had parts from several other sets and I have plans to make a Shattered glass commander set( once I get a Sg prime or a KO SG) . It was the first time I have ever seen authentic FP loose sets anywhere and they sold out FAST.

Ebay, as everyone else is saying, is your best option at this point. Your only other option is KO. Don't wouldn't hold your breath on the Buy/Sell/Thread either.

Is the City Commander you're looking for, specifically? If so I definitely agree with Flux Convoy and LiKwid, you are going to have diligently watch Ebay and in between sear some of the vast online toy stores. Do you even have the white truck, because it seem like that was even harder to find when I was looking :-?

I don’t have the elusive “White Truck” but I’m going to get a Classics Prime! And then make my own character… just to make sure I’m investing in the right TF look. Could one of you maybe post a image of OP-bot in the CC armor?

Shout Factory is releasing Beast Wars season 1 on June 7. I don't know the price but I am sure it will be cheaper than buying the old Rhino sets.

The most notable differences are the thighs and the window/door panels that stick out of the arms. Other than that the armor covers up most of the figure. I posted pics of them side by side ( disregard the shadow commander chest plate on the one set though, I picked up a mixed lot of fansproject goodies from BBTS and it didnt all match up) and also the classics prime in vehicle mode attached to the trailer.

I just wanted to thank everyone here, I managed to get a set of City Commander (2008 version), Shadow Commander, and Dia this week.

I agree with you, amcgrath929 mentioned how it would turn Optimus into a different character. In fact I got my own story rollin' around in my head - so don't take my names :grin: (Spartarus Prime, leader of the Wreckaz resistance against the forces of Craxicitron, supreme general of the Desu-stroyatron Empire.... :lol: :lol: ) Just kidding but I'm still hoping that some one will make that blue Optimus Prime mold so he can be a true homage to Diaclone - DIAGEIS PRIME ;) ;)

P.S. Really, how and where and if I may ask since you have 3 sets did you end up with an extra face with the face-plate on it?

I got them from fellow collectors in a circle of dealers/traders whom I trust and frequently deal with. I paid more than I wanted to, but I'm content to finally have them. They arrive on Mon. I suggest you get the iGear kit from BBTS if you need an additional faceplate. Trust me it was hell to actually get them and cost a small fortune, but sometimes you just have to go for it.
