Those look nice. Where did you see those? Is Hero X a convention of some sort?

Are they available to buy, or must we live in Japan to get those?

I bought Artfire only because I collect EVERY Universe Voyager Inferno molds. Still, I reallydont want to pay 100$ for two legends so I'll pass.

I too, would want that white Blackjack. I want an all-whithe combiner using Whitoptimus as the core. Too bad these will be expensive as hell. I'll wait for the innevitable clearance sle.

Well, if the info from Toy Fair 2015 is to be believed, Blackjack WAS originally going to be Runabout (And Offroad was going to be Ruckus. Funny how the repaints worked out.), so a repaint of him as Runamuck makes sense.

Jesus, no thank you. I'd do it for like $50 but $100 is WAY too much for two legends.

While the price may appear nuts, the actual way of getting these normally might be too much work. You have to buy the million publishing book on hlj, then order these toys using the mail order form in the magazine and mail them to a japanese middleman who will then send them back to you. So you are paying for a book, 2 figures and shipping 3 times. The price on BBTS is the cost of all this with a bit of a markup for their trouble.

That's a whole lot of hoopla just to get two little dudes, so I guess the price is justified.
