Bigbadtoystore has a pre-order listing for the up to now unseen Lawson Exclusive Desert Mudflap & Desert Skids.

These figures represent the sand covered "dirty" versions of Mudflap and Skids in the Egypt scenes of RotF. Pre-orders are open at $214.99.

I guess bbts will open preorder for rotf DVD plus leader prime black version... Hopefully

I'll just rub some dirt on the regular versions and save some money...

What for? You can buy directly on amazon.co.jp. Why pay more?... Check the thread about that, where I wrote the answer that amazon.co.jp gave me regarding international pre-orders for the DVD with yellow and black leader class Optimus Prime. They are indeed accepting international orders for that one and they explained why.

$214.99 for some dirty-up pegwarmer figures? Thanks but no thanks.

Hmm, I was thinking of something more nifty when I heard about the Desert repaints.

You have got to be kidding me..
For that price I'd expect my DVD to be gold plated along with the Jar-Jar twins being slightly dirty.

Even though these are exclusives they should not be $214.99 for both. I'd say a more reasonable price would be somewhere between $119.99 to $159.99.

Even at that price, they're expensive. If people won't pay $99.99 for Supreme Devastator what makes them think they'll shell out $214.99 for this?

Heck, just leave em' out to collect dust (at least that's all I would have to do anyway)

Yeah, no.
I like them before but...
Just no.

Ha, i ordered mine through a friend in Japan. Of course ordering from Amazon JP too... In fact getting 2 sets, one for my friend.
Black bumble bee is a free gift for all pre-order now, this covers all the 3 different exclusives.

Only the clear bumblee bee is exclusive to Tsutaya.

Note to self: Make more friends in Japan.

So, Skids and Mudflap are dirty little boys? Who knew?

Points taken, but I rather spend that on the red-face Takara Devastator.

I won't deny having friends in Japan helps tremendously; for this item it's not necessary Amazon JP pages translates in English. I setup an account and pre-ordered the Blu-ray version without any problems. So glad I won't have to turn to the secondary market for this, and there's a chance the price will go down between now and the time of release thanks to Amazon Pre-Order Price guarantee.

Now all we need is for Hasbro to accounce a "Premium" version of this mold with the exact paint job for $44.99. That would be perfect!


Back on topic. Pass on these. Old hat, but I can't get past the disfigured head molds on these guys, let alone the 'dirt.'
