I pre-ordered mine, if it does end up a very small run I really don't want to pay the aftermarket value on this one. Will look great next to Wildrider when she shows up from Japan.

Here's to hoping we can see the rest of the car Stunticons as repaints, there are suitable molds now out for Universe, and a new Motormaster, I just can't see a Prime repaint taking his place very well.

Sweet. Picked up two of each and that Dispensor TFM Robot Heroes HTS exclusive. One set for me and the other for a friend of mine. Being outside the US is tough since HTS won't ship to me, but my brother is in KY so he's got my back on this. Pays to have family who support my addiction :grin:

I'm really like that Overkill, and I fear aftermarket markup will be worse than paying for excess shipping through HTS.

Others posters seem to believe that they will be available in OZ but not the UK. Hard to say. I am sure that Hasbro won't carry it in retail stores being a US HTS exclusive. Hasbro CANADA does not have an online store like the US so I would dare to say they will not be heading north anytime soon.

Dragstar is way too cool.. although I must say.. some repaints seem to have an affinity for bright yellow these days.

At a price range of $15.99 each, I wonder... why so high? Is there something special about the contents the toy comes with, besides just a new paint job with a fancy black box?

It's limited. At this time they have no more than 800 pieces of each. Not sure if they are holding any back or not.

Ahh yes. It's limited. Now I see why the price is where it's set. Thanks Tigertracks 24! :mrgreen:

I look at the $16 price and think "bargain"!

800 pieces of each is not that many at all...

I could do with help too.

only 800 pieces, and consider that the Botcon 07 set had about 1400 sets made and it sold out really fast.

$16 is a fine bargain compared to what the markup will be for these later.

Not even a new head for Dragstrip? That's so lame.

PASS

Hmmm....I think I'll get ANOTHER Fracture/Crasher at Walmart for $7.77 and just repaint her. I get I could get 2.

Ditto for me. Would love a Drag Strip and Overkill myself...

by **Auto Bot** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:44 pm

Half of the cost goes to the box. Hmmm. I'm gonna stay out of this one.

News Credits: 9 · by **Sowndwave76** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:45 pm

Wow... Limited to 800??
Not saying it's not true, but that's a little hard to believe.

But no worries, I just pre-ordered my 2!!

Yes, limited, plus the thousand or so they released in Asia.

Another UKer asking for a helping hand with these. Prime I can pass on but if anyone is willing to order an extra of Megatron, Dragstrip and Overkill drop me a PM so we can work something out.

by **Kryptikore** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 2:43 pm

I would love to see prime repainted as Motormaster and then have Fansproject do some retooling to there Ultra magnus trailer to have a complete Motormaster! I do want to know if hasbro is going to release there version of Wildrider or do I have no other choice but to buy the Henkei version?

Well, HTS now has the set of 4 up as a group for a couple bucks off, $59.99. Doesn't really help me since I have ordered and only want two of them.
