    Is that the BBTS price? Because they've always wanted that much. A lot of us preordered from Japan instead and paid around $225 after shipping.

    AFAIK, the only time a reissue has actually had a LOWER MSRP is with the upcoming Optimus Primal reissue. Otherwise, the MSRP usually stays the same.

    TT re-issues are usually priced exactly the same as the original. However we don't know who is behind this reissue or how much TFSource are marking it up. Are you saying back when he was originally release TFSource sold him for £249.99?

    Hey, so y'all know that stupid as shit tiddy add-on for that 3rd party Arcee? Instead of that nonsense that only the most grotesque Comic Book Guy lookin' ass freaks would buy, they should've given us the add-on kit everyone has actually been clamouring for, you all know what I'm talking about:

    Articulated.

    Dirk.

    Dinobot.

    This may be my chance to get an MP Dinobot for a price I can "live with".

    I need to know if this is Hasbro Asia or T-T, though.

    I’m pretty sure all the US retailers had him at $250 USD for the initial run. And I believe most got him for way less than $225 USD shipped from AJ.

    Hasbro Asia didn’t carry him the first round and I thought I heard this next batch is Hasbro Asia. It would be hilarious because the rumour was that they didn’t sell it the first time because it was too expensive! It might be more because of a coin or another pack in?

    Almost $400 for two figs I already have ... not a chance ... if I can get that number closer to $200 range then I might bite on the double-dip, esp. if the shoulders for both re-issues are more robust than the first runs ... then I can consign those first runs to beast mode forever and have my forever MP bots

    Finally got his small gun in the mail. I was always a fan of this gun on him for some reason. The holster can tab on to either side, but the gun only has the tab slot on the left side. Now to put in an order for his machine gun rack set.

    When do you guys think a repaint will be announced? Are we all agreed that it's going to be a Grimlock repaint? What are the chances for a non-toy Code of Hero set?
