HTS Special Edition Dragstrip Is Up For Preorder!

Prime Evil wrote:Juuust waiting for Dragstrip to go up and then it's him and Overkill. Man, I really hate that Prime mold. Megs is ok, I just wish he had a right hand instead of that whirly thing of death.

Whirly things of death can be very beneficial in daily life - You can use it to cut the grass; stir cake batter; and blow away dead leaves.

Prime really doesn't look all that different. Not enough for another purchase. They should've painted him as Motormaster, I mean, "Decepticon Motormaster".

$16 FOR REPAINTED DELUXES?!?!?!? HAVE HASBRO LOST THIER FLIPPING MINDS?!?!?!? Still, I like Prime's new paint job better than the old one, and the packaging is nice.

Dragstrip. Must. Have.

Seconded.

Well I guess I shouldn't have jumped the gun and ordered yesterday. Does anyone know if Hasbro will adjust preorders? No big deal I guess, but worth a shot.

Does HTS ship to Canada or is it US Exclusive?

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

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

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.

Well, I suppose I need to find another way to get one...

GRR i live in the uk and they don't ship there
i must have a DragStrip no matter what...

anyone kind enough to help a fellow seibertron member out here?
retail price + shipping then + a little extra for your services
i have paypal with a comfirmed address 2

any help would be greatly appreciated

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?

You pay for the box and the oportunity to shove it int everyone exept the us's face

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!

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...

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

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.

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.

did everyone forget that the prime and megs molds sucked terribly?!

if they dont suck as much as the ultimate battle 2pack, i might pick up megs.

sorry for the double post but, THERS ONLY 800 MEGATRONS?!?! I GOTTA HURRY!!!!!!

nightbolt wrote:sorry for the double post but, THERS ONLY 800 MEGATRONS?!?! I GOTTA HURRY!!!!!!

So suck is okay, if it could possible be of the limited variety?

Remember, HTS may say 800, but in Australia there will be more. WHo knows how many.

I'll try and get Dragstrip to go with my Henkei Wildrider but the others don't really interest me.
Nice boxes though...

Yeah, that won't happen. Wildrider was a Japanese exclusive.

Didn't realize these were limited to 800 pieces. Glad I pre-ordered Dragstrip and Overkill. I don't care if they limited that Prime to 5 pieces he is still total crap and I still wouldn't want him.

Bam! Pre-ordered the other day. So come Xmas time (hopefully) I should have a shiny new Megs, Dragstrip and Overkill. Prime's colors and packaging weren't enough to justify the crappiness of the mold.

I can't wait for DS! He'll look so nice next to my shiny new Wildrider :3

I really wish BBTS or one of the other online retailers would have had a preorder for Wildrider. Ebay prices are a little steep.

I take it with the grain of salt that these are limited to 800. Hasbro didn't officially announce that these are limited in quantity. They may likely raise the preorder count later. And why shouldn't they? It isn't like they are a 3rd party retailer like e-Hobby that needs to specify their preorder count in advance. In addition, these toys have a real low price tag for figures that are limited to 800.
