I consider $25 expensive, when the Japanese fans get to buy $25 worth of stuff and then get this for free.
Oh well. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Honestly can't complain too badly; us North American fans have it pretty good compared to some other parts of the world.

"25 bucks for a 2 inch plastic sword. s'wrong with that?"

At $25.00 I would simply go make myself one and print it via Sculpteo or another printer...

Anyway this does look cool and I may have to keep my eyes out for one...'nuff said!

Well, at least there is a relatively easy way to get a non-orange official version of the sword without resorting to customizing it yourself.
I LOVE my AD-31 Op, but those bright orange weapons are gaudy as hell. Maybe it was done on purpose to sell those weapons. Sigh... and I'm one of those sucker who will have to hunt them down.

Don't worry. You'll have good company!

Sporting a new darker camo design, both in terms of paint apps and plastic color, this Hound will be highly coveted by collectors driven by accuracy, but with the set being a limited release of 3000 pieces and a Japan only release, chances are he's going to be rather difficult to obtain, as well as costly. The set's current pricing is $108.00 USD! You can see the Amazon.jp ordering page by clicking here.
If you do happen to get one, please share some images with us so we can all enjoy this rather rare exclusive. Speaking of sharing images, we've mirrored Robotkingdom's pictorial below:

I actually think the Dr. Wu sword looks better than this. Has that nice orange glow to it that makes the sword looks heated. But I probably will spend money to get that sword since it looks cool when you pose him to look like that scene "Today you stand with us or... you stand against me..."
However if they blow up to be 50$ for it, not gonna happen. You'd pretty much be paying for their transformers at that point.

The Club isn't allowed to use on-screen movie designs since they're partially owned by Paramount. Toy-only designs like Skyhammer are alright, though.

This image looks like a much darker green than the previous promotional image. This set is scheduled for release December 10.
Dont know about you guys, but I am really not fond of the deco we got with the standars hasbro release of Hound. The autobot 5 pack and this version are far too expensive for me so I chose the reprolabel alternative. I actually think it works really well as a cheap alternative. Here is what it looks like:

Don't be shy about bragging to us all if you find something! My AD-31 Prime should be arriving from TFSource this afternoon! I can't wait to get him a "proper" sword to go with this lovingly retooled and redecoed figure!

Not yet. Looks to be a Japanese store exclusive. Us Americans will likely have to resort to eBay.
Posted by Sabrblade on December 17th, 2014 @ 8:13pm CST
Previous store exclusives of this kind have shown up on (and some are still available at) such places as BBTS and TFSource. We just have to wait and see and hope that these places get this sword as well.megatronus wrote:Seibertron wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:shajaki wrote:correctamundo! im searching as well, havent found anything yet.Sabrblade wrote:These aren't shajaki's pics.

Still not sure whether to get this or Dr Wu's sword for 20$. The Dr Wu version has the orange and silver blended, kind of giving off a heated look. But I kind of just like the plain silver look.

I don't know how well this one would work with that counterweight bulge and this sword is intended for those almost super deformed looking toys...

10$? That beats the one Dr Wu made, and that one's just plastic, although hollow and sharp plastic...
shajaki wrote:preorders already sold out at BBTS anyways
I'm surprised they got any in the first place since they are only 1,000 in the world. They must have gotten a very tiny shipment of them to sell out so soon. Unless scalpers ordered like a 100...

Eh, I'll be getting him anyway, best we'll get. Not the first time the car model of the toy doesn't match the one on-screen (look at Dino). Again, I ask: why is it always the red cars that get screwed over?

It is cleverly painted to give it a new head sculpt type look.
