Price 34.99

July? That doesn’t sound right…

Think BBTS messed up? Well since they’re usually a month off on ship dates this reassures me it’ll be august.

Ricght, so Powerglide is going to be everywhere and Onslaught and Silverbolt will be impossible to find. Excellent. NOT! The minute I see Silverbolt and Onslaught on the shelves I'm picking them up and Powerglide can wait until I have the money.

Preordered, woo.

My preorder page is growing ever longer. Now at five deluxes, two ultras, and the Magnus armour.

Blaster is just a big mess. Looks like a pimped up drag queen.

W00T!, My first News credit!

Yeah, I have most of those preordered, all except Heavy load.

Did I miss something?

When did Silverbolt's body become purple? I'm sure the Hasbro pictures had him red.

lol, I have two Magnus Armor sets ordered and apparently 3 sets of the Henkei Seekers. Not to mention my Universe 2.0 stuff with BBTS.

I need to hit the lotto.

You aren't the only one who was surprised by the purple. What's up with 'dat?

I can't wait for Onslaught... Imo a great mix of G1 likeness and updated-ness.
I'll wait on Silverbolt to see if Henkei works their magic.
I'm still not sold on Powerglide...
That money will probably go towards getting a 2nd of a couple figs. I really like.

Still no love for Blaster??
I'm not surprised one bit. A HUGE waste imo.

I don't feel a need to rush on these.

I will order the Takara PG & SB though.

I would not have noticed if you guys hadn't made me go and look. That light shade of purple is a bit weird, I think this may be another Henkei version I'll be picking up instead.

I think all of the colors are off in the picture. Even Onslaught looks different.

I'm surprised to see that the Japanese versions are cheaper than the U.S. version.

I'll let my money rest and just wait until these actually come out.

Preordered the Powerglide/Silverbolt combo from BBTS and Onslaught and Blaster from HTS with promo code.

Why does Silverbolt cost $5 more? Is he short-packed?

Judging by this pic from Botcon, I'm hoping it's their camera.
