    Making this deco as a con exclusive is so infuriating that I wanna stop buying MMC products altogether.

    Top marks on making such a desirable deco such a limited piece. That's what exclusives are all about. Now, who do I kill to get one?

    Please refresh my memory where did this particular deco come from? I know it's what Hotrod is currently using in the comics, but is it referencing the evil repaint of MP Rodimus back then or is it older than that? I think SG Rodimus was different.

    That is damn purdy. Almost makes me overlook my issues with the mold and almost makes me want one...almost.

    This looks really, really good. To all the people complaining about it being exclusive, from what I recall MMC usually puts out a general release after TFCON, like they did with Anubis. I mean, they've put out second and third waves of figures like Kultur that were initially planned as limited runs, I'm going to go ahead and guess that if there's money to be had for him, they'll make it available some time after the show. If not, that sucks, it's a brilliant deco.

    Stealth Sphinx, Roadcrane, Nero Rex, Demonicus Prominon, Anubis, Cynicus Asterisk were all con exclusives that were available through retailers (such as PSX) after the show. It'd be really surprising if Calidus Asterisk weren't, especially since @hardreturn mentioned that it should be available at A3U + PSX some time post-con.

    Yeah, exactly, don't want to talk outta my ass, but MMC seems pretty cool about making stuff available for everyone.

    So you gotta jump through a few hoops and maybe pay through the nose. Isn't that what exclusives are all about? I'm not saying don't be pissed, but this is par for the course, no?

    I've only been collecting slightly over two years, but so far, no. Not at all. It's more like one hoop and only slightly over the regular price. :)

    To be fair, I have a beard and mustache and am not, as far as I know, Shattered Glass Bob. RP could just like facial hair
