    I think A3U is offering them for cheaper.

    Wow, those are nicer then I thought they'd be. Looks like I've got a huge order to put in with BBTS and Reprolabels.

    the lambo looks like the nicest one to me. I just don't like how the steering wheel is right next to the head.

    My brother has the Supra and it feels flimsy to me. He loves it because it is a Supra but it is a KO after all.

    I will be finishing off a few reviews of the new ones very soon. You will be able to see all the reviews on www.roadbots.com when I am done with them.

    The winner of the Wanna win a Roadbot contest should be receiving theirs soon as well and they have all said they will be making reviews as well which will also go onto www.roadbots.com.

    Ages Three and Up will be getting them at the end of this month, November. As far as I can tell, the prices between A3U and BBTS are the same for the items, just not certain on the shipping costs. These things are HUGE! The boxes are very large indeed and it is my believe that shipping on several of them will be very expensive. Course at Ages a flat rate shipping within Canada or the US is available so you can save a bundle on the more you buy! ;) 

    Happywell is sending me a Lamborghini sample now so when I get it, pictures and comparision shots will be done, just like the previous figures I have received already.

    These things are awesome. I am very impressed with what Happywell has done so far with these.

    Where to these guys fit?

    Forgive my ignorance, but what line do these happy well guys fit into?


    What is the scale of the original g1 diaclone cars like jazz and tracks?

    What is the scale of the RID/Car-Robots cars like sideburn?

    What is the scale of the alternators?

    Are any of the happywell guys to scale with other line's I'm forgetting about?

    Alts are 1:24 scale. RID is about 1:32 scale. Original cars are about 1:48 scale.

    At 1:18 scale these are larger than any other Transformer scales to date. They stand quite tall when in Robot mode, some almost as large as 20th Prime. You can check out some comparison pictures here:

    or here:

    I hope to have a whole bunch of good comparisons and reviews done for www.roadbots.com very soon.

    Spencer.

    Definetely. For Canadians at least. I saved massively on shipping and tax (I get charged a nasty 14% of tax when I order anything that's more than 20 or 30 bucks from US stores like BBTS)

    A quick comparison, I paid about 68$ total CAN for The big Ford GT and the Lambo from A3U. Comparatively, I would have paid 96$ CAN with BBTS (85 for the product+shipping, and an additional 11$ for tax at the post office)

    BBTS is great, but I'm really starting to see the advantages of Canadian retailers :p

    Excellent. Now to order up some Decepticon symbols to shift the balance of Alt. power. What they lack in numbers, will be made up in size. :thumb

    They are easily available on Korean toy stores. The Lamborghini was just released this week. I have one on ebay at the moment.

    There are so many of these guys, ranging from great looking to a bit strange. But the are not KO's. The have similar designs, but they are completely new mold produced by a legitimate toy company.

    Yes, A3U will ship to Australia. If you don't care about boxes, they can be packed without the boxes taking up much less room and saving on shipping as well.

    Sorry, both Canada and the US have flat rate shipping but international can vary so much depending on weight that I could not justify an international flat rate.
