    *Squeals!*

    This'll be the first e-Hobby bot I buy. There's no way I can pass this up.

    I did the eHobby BT Mirage, and it was a HUGE pain in the ass to order.

    That being said, I'll be emailing my Japanese friend this weekend to get this ordered.

    Oh, I know that. If it was just Takara selling it, it would be cheaper. But it's produced in smaller quantities when it's through E-Hobby. That is why you see older E-Hobby exclusives go for so much right now. (E-hobby Astrotrain, I'm looking at you...)

    Man, I went from "that's cool" this morning to "OMG I *NEED* this" over the course of the afternoon. Every time I look back at the pictures I get weaker. I have so many other things on preorder this year, though. Ugh.

    This mold looks ridiculously nice in those colors!

    Because of Animated I was supposed to have a nice year free of spending money on Transformers. Now Takara comes in & kicks my ass.

    YES!!! Nice repaint. This is a must buy x3. Probably more expensive than the encore reissue though.

    Eh... I dunno. I like the concept, certainly, and it IS accurate, but... It just looks really bland in only two colors. That, and it looks like when they were deciding on hues they just went into MS Paint and picked the default blue and gray colors. Even darkening the blue would go a long way towards making this figure look better.

    total agreement. between Henkai Decepticons (and possibly exclusive seekers) and all the eHobby goodies, Takara is making my wallet it's b***h.

    I'll take credit for mentioning this idea first :D 

    But having never thought they'd actually do it, now I have to come up with a way to afford two.
