    Wasn't it may/June or June/July? Remember when everyone thought one was going to be released a month before the other?

    Awesome. I had to cancel my preorders so hopefully by the time they hit BBTS or TFSource I'll have enough cash saved up.

    Can't wait.

    As for the delay I remember the original dates were April for one and May for the other. So there is your delay.

    I agree with ORIO...take your time FP you created one of the most anticipated items in TF history...take time to get it right so that the results match the anticipation.

    Thanx

    The retailers like TFSource estimate the release date after shipping overseas. This means that TFSource will experience the same time delay in shipping their product to customers. At first I thought that Explorer would come out first (June) and then Munitioner 1 month later (July), but appears that FansProject is producing both at the same time.

    With Botcon coming around the corner I am glad there is a little push back. That way I can pay when I get back!

    I'm waiting for the day FansProject accidentally slips up once on one of these notices and lists the Transformer by their actual, Hasbro-copyrighted name.
