Reminds me of the original paint job Derrick had in mind for Prowl, where it harkened back to the G1 Prowl. VERY cool deco, but sadly, I don't want to shell out import fees to get him.
I wish I had read this earlier. I also paid way too much to get the set as well, but I have no use for the Dreadwing/Smokescreen. I just wanted Prowl. We probably could have worked something out. C'est la vie.
At first I thought that, but from the pictures it looks to be an authentic, with the deco and the symbol. It is a small possibility, though.
Don't worry, you'll be able to sell the Dreadwing and Smokescreen set without a problem and get alot of your money back. The going rate for them alone is $150 before shipping.
Totally want that. I've been waiting for the inevitable G1-ish repaint of the Deluxe Animated Prowl mold for a long time now. Kind of makes me sad to see it's being released in Japan as an exclusive, but whatever. If I want it badly enough, (Which I do...) I should be willing to pay the extra cost that comes with it.... My wallet already hurts.
Oh yeah, baby! So glad this gorgeous hunk o' plastic crack is heading my way. To my source: you are my hero! Don't look at me to restrain you.
Likewise. Some people have no taste. That price is a bit much for me, though. Talk about heartbreak. One can always hope that we get this redeco and Strafe in some future incarnation of Generations/Universe. *crosses fingers*
