    So what websites can I pre-order these from anyway, provided they ever become available?

    Asia-based retailers preferrably. Not because I live there, but it's cheaper than importing them from US or paying European retailers' markup.

    From what I read some of them like Cykill were reformed. Which kind of works with the hostile attitude Bike Robo had in Revenge of Cronus. They actually made Blue Jet (Fitor) into Leader-1 which just about sent me into a fit of wtf when I found that out. lol I can't remember what they did with Rod Drill/Screwhead, if he was also reformed or, like Leader-1, was a Guardian in a new body resembling a Renegade.

    I wouldn't mind watching an English version of that French dub to be honest.

    Honestly, I can kind of see the Fitor=Leader-1 working, since Blue Jet has goggles on his character model, which Fitor lack - but Leader-1 does have.

    I really hope they keep this line going, seems like things are dragging. I'm so pumped for Spay-C!! I keep hoping for updates on Loco too! I so bad want Geeper Creeper, Dive Dive, and Waterwalk. I'd love to see more coming like Pumper, Night Ranger, Rest-Q, Hans Cuff, Dozer, Buggy Man, Smallfoot, Slicks, Scooter, Crasher, and Dumper!! Oh and I also want a Crane Brain with a big ole crane boner!!

    This line is notoriously slow. But keeps happening.

    Actions Toys and it's affiliate companies are nothing if not consistent when it comes to slow releases.

    Want already! Watched video enough. When they do the inevitable Leader-1 DX, I hope they do one in his Navy blue and white deco!!!

    From what I was told a few pages ago, pre-orders go up sometime in December. I don't think anyone knows when he actually gets released though.

    Checking Chosen Prime's Calendar of expected incoming figures, they have Shuttle Robo (Spay-C) expected November 2nd, however, I noticed Missile Tank Robo (Blaster) is no longer on the list for the year. Last time I checked it he was scheduled for late October or early November, don't remember exactly. I hope he's still coming next month.

    Oooh, Missile Tank's missiles can combine with his smaller pistol to form some sort of massive combined weapon! Unwieldy looking, but a nice touch.

    Between the two Missile Tank is definitely looking to be the superior-- Shuttle isn't looking bad by any stretch of the imagination and the weapons storage for both modes are nicely done, but Missile Tank is just so much cleaner and the transformation is a refreshing change of pace for a tank 'bot. Looking forward to having both!

    so is everybody aware that Though Trailer is a re-purposed Super Sentai robo that is the Titan Boy from Choushinsei Flashman? still probably cool if Action Toys released it as the Sentai mech version of the mold as well.

    Yes, it would be nice, but they would need to license that toy to release it in those colors...
