I was browsing BigBad and just spotted this:

Well THAT is certainly a strange listing. A cancelled Hasbro toy preordered under the Hasbro section at $40 USD which would normally be a $12 figure. Did Hasbro maybe produce a limited amount?

As a matter of fact they did... for the Asia region (Singapore, China, etc.). Same story as the FE reissues.

i know what I'm ordering...

God, he is ugly! Pass, just... pass.

Agreed, I only posted about it because I didn't see it news'd yet and I knew there were many who wanted this figure, and $40 is a LOT cheaper than he's been going for on ebay lately.

I would get him for his ugliness alone in bot mode, by which i mean his face. His body looks pretty decent (that's what she said). But at 40 bucks?.......forget it.

Another deterent is his profoundly banal alt mode. It's so lackluster and pedestrian that it's an easy pass for me. Sorry Que.

EDIT: what they should do is put a new head on that mold and make it a Classics Skids. That's what i think.

I'll be waiting for my TRU to get um in stock then. $22 here.

Meh...

Speaking of which, have these dropped yet? I've been waiting for preorders, but have not heard anything in a while.
