Funny, I just emailed them about this. It's kind of pricey, but I've preordered for now.

$189 is a bit too rich for my blood. Good thing I'm not a G2 collector.

Whew... now that I've seen this, I'm relieved I didn't overpay going through Bodhar. About $15 + Shipping cheaper. Still expensive, though, and I've see a couple go for less on eBay. Either way, I'm glad I got a hold of this and Elite Prowl.

Yikes, that's pretty pricey.

Holy @&%$...Elite Guard Prowl is up too for $109.99: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11133&mode=retail

Way too expensive for me. Looks like I won't be getting a Prowl after all.

OK I really like the idea and appearance of these guys. But before I put my MP Ghost Screamer on hold to preorder these guys I need to know one thing. Is the paint shiny like the pics on BBTS's page or are they dull like the other pictures. Sadly enough, gloss is very important to me in regards to these two. Shiny blue = awesome, dull blue = i'll just paint a couple figures up like that myself if I feel the need.

Much of them IS metallic. This should help:

I'd put the MP Ghost Starscream on hold, anyway. You know it will be cheaper and on clearance like the rest of the MP line always does after being on the market for a little while at some point. Once these Exclusives are gone, they will be much harder to obtain (most likely).

Sorry, double post.

Actually makes me glad I *only* paid 175

After seeing the other pics, i'm gonna pass. MP Ghost Screamer is a way better use for me. And i'll kick myself HARD if I miss out on it seeing as I really dig the deco & don't have one of that mold yet.

Now I fell better about spending only $210 for both of them shipped. Saved $90.

Dear TakaraTomy,

Exclusives suck.

Sincerely,

P.S.: You too, Hasbro, but at least yours are usually within many people's means.

Not on what I earn.....

That's some odd math.

I was thinking the same thing

Probably referring to Elite Guard Prowl AND the Dreadwing/Smokescreen set.

Well they're all gone now. And I don't feel sad in the least that's a first for me.

Holy crap that was fast. I wonder how many sets they got ahold of, probably not very many.

BBTS had about 25. I'll bet TFsource and RK will have gotten a hold of some.

Yep, Both Prowl and the Dreadwing/Smokescreen set. They should be in hand come Friday. A friend is buying Prowl so I will end up paying about $120 total for my Dreadwing/Smokescreen set.

Love the repaints, but I have the original G2 versions, so I'll pass unless they have one hell of a clearence sale.

Looks like I'm going back to my original idea of buying some neon paint and 'repurposing' the originals as BWII Starscream and BB...

Out of interest, how much was the set at the event?

Prowl was 2800 ( I think)
Dreadwing/Smokescreen was 5500

I was able to nab one for $157.50 shipped from japan, so i saved myself a couple bux...its a must have set imho

I was able to get the Prowl through a middle man service for about 5500 yen (yokattaweb). The Dreadwing/Smokescreen set doesn't really do much for me.
