Funny, I just emailed them about this. It's kind of pricey, but I've preordered for now.

$189 is a bit too rich for my blood. Good thing I'm not a G2 collector.

Whew... now that I've seen this, I'm relieved I didn't overpay going through Bodhar. About $15 + Shipping cheaper. Still expensive, though, and I've see a couple go for less on eBay. Either way, I'm glad I got a hold of this and Elite Prowl.

Yikes, that's pretty pricey.
Holy @&%$...Elite Guard Prowl is up too for $109.99: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11133&mode=retail
Way too expensive for me. Looks like I won't be getting a Prowl after all.

OK I really like the idea and appearance of these guys. But before I put my MP Ghost Screamer on hold to preorder these guys I need to know one thing. Is the paint shiny like the pics on BBTS's page or are they dull like the other pictures. Sadly enough, gloss is very important to me in regards to these two. Shiny blue = awesome, dull blue = i'll just paint a couple figures up like that myself if I feel the need.

Much of them IS metallic. This should help:
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... een/19273/
I'd put the MP Ghost Starscream on hold, anyway. You know it will be cheaper and on clearance like the rest of the MP line always does after being on the market for a little while at some point. Once these Exclusives are gone, they will be much harder to obtain (most likely).

After seeing the other pics, i'm gonna pass. MP Ghost Screamer is a way better use for me. And i'll kick myself HARD if I miss out on it seeing as I really dig the deco & don't have one of that mold yet.

Dear TakaraTomy,
Exclusives suck.
Sincerely,
kirbenvost
P.S.: You too, Hasbro, but at least yours are usually within many people's means.

BBTS had about 25. I'll bet TFsource and RK will have gotten a hold of some.

Yep, Both Prowl and the Dreadwing/Smokescreen set. They should be in hand come Friday. A friend is buying Prowl so I will end up paying about $120 total for my Dreadwing/Smokescreen set.

Looks like I'm going back to my original idea of buying some neon paint and 'repurposing' the originals as BWII Starscream and BB...
Out of interest, how much was the set at the event?

Prowl was 2800 ( I think)
Dreadwing/Smokescreen was 5500

I was able to get the Prowl through a middle man service for about 5500 yen (yokattaweb). The Dreadwing/Smokescreen set doesn't really do much for me.

I may be mistaken, but wasnt the first article on Seibertron about these figures stating that this was a general hasbro release ??? When did Takara come in the picture and Hasbro out the picture ??? These repaints remind me of something Hasbro would do similar to Skyfall, Banzai-tron, and the black repaint of Powerglide.

The first time we saw them was in a japanese Toy Fair preview where it was reported that they would be Tokyo Toy Fair releases. Hasbro may have done something similar, but this set was done to compliment or compete with the Botcon 2010 set.

His mind was blown away by how awesome dreadwing and smokescreen are.
I took it off and sent it back to funpub. It was missing some paint apps and the the horns had missing paint all together. Never transformed him till I got back from botcon.

I really really wanted them when I saw the pictures. I love Geetoo with a passion. But $200 before shipping for like $30 in toys? This is where we as fans should have an ephiphany and attempt to get the people that make exclusives to step down in price from "lol i troll u" to "somewhat expensive but reasonable". To put this in perspective, I could buy a hooker for $200 and have my way with her for the entire night. Or two overpriced chunks of plastic.
