Gentei Strafe up for Preorder at BBTS

Posted by Mkall Mar 4, 2009 at 2:37pm CST 11,821 views
Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has placed up a preorder for Gentei (Exclusive Henkei) Strafe which will be a repaint of Universe Cyclonus.

Also in the description is how one can expect to get this figure through normal means:
"One needs to apply for the Transformers credit card sponsored by the Ganbo store, and then use the card itself to order the Strafe figures."

See the listing here. There is no picture of the figure yet though.

Expect Strafe to arrive around August.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Noice! Got my preorder in!! Can't wait to see how he looks. This is quickly becoming one of my more favorite molds in the line...or ever.

Yeah, that's about 40 bucks pricier than what I was hoping for. Still that didn't stop me from putting in a preorder. Damn my love for the Cyclonus mold.

But I'm pretty sure you can flip that toy for waaay more though...if you're all about the money that is.

The older I get, the more I try to define my collection and lately, I'm trying to get as many nice exclusives as I can, while I can. So no matter what his cost, I'm jumpin in. But the good news is that there are only so many exclusives a year so it's not too terrible.

I got my preorder in as well.

If I don't like the colors (that should be shown later this week) then perhaps I will cancel it. But the price isn't that bad considering the process that must be done to order the figure.

I love that mold.
I love Strafe.
This was a no-brainer for me, I'd kick myself forever if I didn't get it. Preordered.

I'm not about the money, and I hear ya about getting exclusives.

I find myself buying more and more exclusives over the past couple years, and losing interest in the mainline toys. I buy the ones I like, but I ignore the others.

I'm in. These Henkei Exclusives have been awesome, and I'm hellbent on owning every one of them.

I am so sick of $100+ "exclusives" :roll: . I Think its time for me to stop collecting these things and just focus on the mainstream stuff.

So far, the only exclusive that I don't have from the Univers/Cls/Henkei line is Breakdown, and I miiight bite...later. But the fact that he looks so much like SG HotRod turned me off to the figure and price tag. Wait...I didn't pick up the Henkei TC+SW, but I already have the us version and Botcon's.

You scared me there for a minute, thinking I had somehow missed out on a Breakdown figure...

You mean Wildrider? Breakdown is the white Lamborghini of the team. I know, they look all alike...

*sees HasTak use white Lamborghini idea for another exclusive*

HEY, waitaminnit! :shock:

Anyway, glad to see them being available for the (richer) common folk. Gotta love the middlemen.

Sorry guys, I've been brain fartin all day today. Especially on the TFCC boards. Don't know whats up with my brain.

Yes, I meant Wildrider. :D

Now if I would have picked him up when he first was available...maybe, but not so much now.

Soo, does this mean that he'll be an Autobot?

Also, do you still have to apply for the CC and then pay BBTS with it?

:DEVIL:

Don't know about the Autobot part, however with BBTS, you don't have to pay for the credit card, that is for only those who want to get it from the source instead of a reseller.

a little of topic, but I just wanted to know what the difference between henkei and gentei is (i.e. what do they mean and are they considered different toylines in japan) this is purely for my own curiousity.

Can anyone please explain me, the meaning of this? Thank you.

Prowl1529, You cut out the first sentence. You don't have to apply for the credit card if you order from BBTS.
