    If it's of high quality and I can have it for under $50 shipped, then rock on, otherwise, rock off.

    as cool as that is, i'm not convinced that swoop would have wide market appeal for takara to release, compared to the big 3.

    They did release Skids, who's also a minor character (and rare in that market, IIRC.) The Dinobot moulds aren't in good nick from what we've been led to believe, and Takara don't seem very keen on recreating things from existing examples -- that's probably more the case than Swoop wouldn't sell (especially with the promise of more dinos to follow, or some kind of collector-wet-dream box set of five.)

    thats true, but within the group of other car bots, skids contributed to variety, mold-wise.

    if theyre gonna release A dino, they gotta be serious by looking at all of em, just like they did with the insecticons.

    dinobot giftset FTW! i cant imagine anybody refusing it. its basically like reish predaking.

    Looks real good. I may have to pick this up and stand him next to my G1 Swoop and the rest of the gang. Ihope they reissue all of them then I can have them together in Bot and Alt. modes.

    we saw the Swoop KO'ed box a month ago ... and here's the guts!

    I'm almost sure this is a KO ... so expect to see:
    - clear swoop
    - black swoop
    - gold swoop
    - clear swoop
    - rocky road swoop
    - diet swoop
    - Super swoop fighter II: Turbo

    I wish Takara would do this kinda thing. Or my other idea, rework classic G1 molds with Revoltech style joints - how cool would that be? ^^

    This makes me happy.

    If Takara won't do it, I'm glad someone will.

    As long as it's not as expensive as the KO Primes, then it is good. Cause what is the use of having a KO if you pay that much for it.

    It's not a Justitoys prototype.
    The WST doesn't have censorship on them. This Swoop have the rounded beack and wings.
