TFSource.com has updated their site with the FansProject G3 trailer preorder:

http://www.tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/791/

Prices are 81.99 for a mint box, 79.99 for C9.

BigBadToyStore also has a preorder up:

Also online are some cool new photos of the trailer details and the first color photos of the exterior. The new photos also reveal the purpose for the hinges at the top of the trailer. It looks like they fold down to reveal mirrors. Sadly it seems that pic has been removed.

You know, seeing the pictures again of the weapons, I still can't help but wish that they were held in the trailer differently and that you didn't have to cut them out of their plastic trunks, a la a model kit. I wish there were individual compartments they fit into simiarly to the BTS trailer.

Everything else though is amazing and well thought out.

Huh? Which pictures "reveal" this? :???:

Have these pics been taken down, or am I just blind?

Looks like that pic was taken down. All of those extra hinges we've been speculating about, they fold down to reveal mirrors

Oooh!

Like Black Arachnis said... the trailer can "disappear" into subspace! Very cool :APPLAUSE:

Just pre-ordered mine!

Now all I have to do is get an Optimus Prime. Wish I'd done that in the beginning

Very nice. Hope RobotKingdom get their hands on these. Must own!

I have my preordrer in at BBTS, I will gladly pay $80, FansProject quality is always great.

I've wanted this trailer since we first saw concept pictures.

Preordered mine as well... really looking forward to this one, to make Optimus look complete. The weapons are a nifty addition, too (even if I am using Animated Grimlock instead of Classics, someone will surely be able to use that sword).

I know how nifty the Powered Convoy armor from TFCon looks... but to me, it just doesn't say Optimus Prime like a big honkin' trailer that turns into a field command station, with a tiny wheeled drone for good measure.

nice trailer-- somebody should make some leading gear for the classic seekers that can be put on while they are in alt. mode--just a THOUGHT--i will for sure be pickin that trailer up-- closest to G1-that I've seen--

Yeah, pre-ordered mine as well today. FansProject has just carved themselves enough of a quality niche with City Commander to pass up on what looks to be the definitive G1 throwback Prime trailer for the Classics line.

Now, where the hoo-ha is my BTS Nemesis trailer??

Is it just me or did BBTS drop their price?

It's not just you, it looks like they are price matching TFSource.

OK-I wasn't crazy.

That's what I figured, especially since TFSource.com now lets you preorder and pay later and group ship. Competition works!

For those of you who didn't get to see it the other day, HK-TF has posted an image of the stealth mode of the G3 trailer. It was the photo posted on the TFSource.com page last week that was taken down.

I've mirrored the image since it took a lot of time to upload from the HK page:
