    I'm enough of a sucker for this unloved mold I'd probably buy it if I could get it without much importer markup.

    E-Hobby has the best exclusives. That's really neat. Wait..IS that an E-Hobby exclusive? Either way, neato.

    except any and all construction equipment, right?

    Ehobby Hauler and the constructicons came to my mind from that picture long before movie Ratchet.

    I wonder if any board members in Japan would be willing to help us all out and have, like, 500 of these shipped to their addresses ;)

    That looks really good to me. Too bad it would cost an arm and a leg to get from Ebay or an online store.

    No, not an E-Hobby exclusive. It's an exclusive mail-away, you only get the token for it if you buy the book.

    Cool I guess. It's an exclusive, the normal color has been done a bunch of times so what the hey.

    I actually was thinking about this on my way to work this morning. "Ironhide in black. Hmmm, what about Ratchet in green?"

    No thanks, that's what.

    I'm thinking I may purchase this, only because I'm a slave to G1 repaints.

    Movie figures repainted as G1 figures were expected, but I never thought I'd see G1 figures repainted as movie ones. That's actually pretty neat.

    Backstop gives this a A+ as I like the Hauler/Ratchet ugly ass paint job :)  I wonder if it will have the updated sticker face or good old smile one?
