So he costs USD70, pretty close to the estimate that was posted earlier, Meaning Afro-Megs will cost around 80, yea I should have that till Feb.

The look like the Hasbro reissue missiles, but shorter.

ok good my mind is still intact for now...i was worried for a second.

somewhat odd they would choose to do that, the original release has the standard size

I was $10 off. It does'nt matter. I'm going to make my preorder as I've been wanting one of these for a while. Does anyone know if the packaging will be identical to the original?

I think the missles new are to be used to identify it from the original.

i'm guessing they will use the encore style packaging.

That would be cool! I'd like to have more artwork instead of a art card.

I think I am gonna have to wait till my new Credit Card arrives, my current one expires in november, and Im not sure how it works on this preorder stuff. Hope this doesn't screw up my HTS pre-orders.

Wow, that price is expensive compared to eHobby.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is easily the best time EVER to be a Transformers fan. The great products just keep coming and coming!

Man... that price sucks, I'll preorder one for now and investigate getting one from somewhere else for a better price.

If E-hobby Megs is priced lower than what Encore Megs is going for on Ebay then I'll likely buy one.

If you ask me, I'd say that's a good price for Sunstorm. Seeing how the first release will easily cost you $200 on the ebay market.

I actually tried to get him for $200 a couple times a while ago on ebay and got outbid, so I have no problem with that price.
