Kinda threw me off that Captured Prey got the Pre order before anyone else. Also noticed RK is sold out! is this going to be a limited run?
Yes, the first run is limited and includes a special sword (Drift style) and a golden thingamabob declaring it as the limited gold run, all other versions after that will miss the sword and the thingamabob.

Around $150-165.00 if you're going for the whole darn thing.
I paid that price once, for D.I.A. Clone Commander and Classics Prime. It was more than enough for me, even though I bought up most of FP's offerings. This? I'm really not interested in the core robot, I have Car Robots Black Convoy and I just don't see a need for this guy in my collection. Cool trailer add on, or not.
Pass, methinks.
One question...
According to the listing, it says this is their second offering from Maketoys. What was the first?? (And I don't think we can count Giant, seeing as it's nowhere near production.)
The base figure is great, I originally didn't want it for the same reasons you have, then I found the thing for cheap at a store, I bought it since it was the only thing Id didn't have at the store, plus it was dirt cheap. Now I'm glad I did and I'm planning on getting it's repaints.
If you can find it for a decent price (up to Voyager pricing) get it, and if you still hate it you can easily sell it and make a profit.
