    Well it's a bummer to wait, but I guess it is fair to allow con folks to get their exclusives first, if not exclusively.

    So Calidus only at PSX, but Terraegis Rally at both A3U and PSX, ok. So Rally should be easier to obtain then i guess.

    Hoping to pick one up at TF Nation. Managed to get a Leonidas the year there were only 6 at the show, so hopefully I haven't used up all my luck!

    Has this guy been released then on PSX as can't see him or have I missed out - If so bummer. Was wanting to start a Lost Light collection to go alone with my DJD guys from MMC.

    Ok, so here's how I'm thinking my Rod molds will go, would love some advice on trying to get this vs the SG color scheme:

    Classics Hot Rod with FP Defender as my Rodimus Prime (Have already)
    Animated G2 Sideswipe (have)

    Maybe some obscure repaint/remold down the road for the Titans Return Hot Rod mold, I like the general looks of the toy but don't need those colors again.

    Then I have a decision to make:
    I want to own the Calidus mold as well the upcoming POTP Rodimus mold. However I don't want to repeat paint schemes, do people think it's more likely that the POTP Unicron Rodimus is a shattered glass/Black rodimus colors or the Lost Light colors?

    I feel like it would more likely be Black Rodimus, so I want to find Calidus Asterisk at a good price, but I also want to wait to minimize my risk of guessing wrong. I feel like waiting is not an option on this toy though, super popular, and I can see why, so gorgeous!

    August 15th he will be up for sale on PSX. So next week Tuesday for Americans, Wednesday for people in my region.

    The leaked images of Hasbro's lineup had Rodimus in what looked like the black/blue/purple/teal recolor scheme as apposed to the specific LostLight scheme. Basically gonna be a potp version of the old mp recolor I'd say. This scheme:

    Sweet Dude - I'm in the UK so should I start checking Monday or Tuesday - Just don't want to miss out on this guy. For me MMC has been by far my favorite 3rd party figures this year with Tarn taking 1st place. Can not wait to get Megs.

    Well PSX just confirmed they're going by Tuesday HK time not US time so orders will be live at their time midnight apparently.

    Bout 9 n a half hours from now. That's 12pm Monday in the US and 5pm Monday in UK.

    Listing is already up R-27AM Calidus Asterisk Mode

    Says they'll start shipping August 25th.
