    No hurry for me. It will sit pretty in my "Pile of Loot" till my other pre-orders arrive. Plus I love greeting one massive order shipped. It makes me feel like a little kid during Christmas.:D

    packaging looks like crap but who cares

    looks like the launchers will be repainted in black, with silver missiles, and the gun in all black, or maybe silver

    how are they going to have the missiles mount in truck mode on the v.1 city commander mold? they dont have the holes

    hope we dont have to drill and they gave us a clip or some other clever solution

    Anyone else notice that the G3 trailer conveniently has a place to store this in repair bay mode? how sick is that!

    this ain't the v.1 city commander mold, why are people continuing to say that? it isn't glued together but has screws, and they said it works in both modes, it pretty much is a repaint of the D.I.A Commander version of the mold if i have to guess

    The mold is the most updated version.
    same as the powered commander.
    screwed together and shoulders holes for all!

    He means, has Fansproject thought of a clever way to allow those with the first City Commander to attach and/or store the missiles (and gun?) in vehicle mode.

    According to bbts...

    "Missile lauchers can be added in robot mode and vehicle mode - Fansproject will modify the launchers slightly so they fit both original and updated versions of the city commander mold."

    TFsource posted additional images, including the instruction which confirm the launchers can attach to the '08 City Commander and Shadow Commander.

    Listen.

    Please

    This add-on set is available *separately* from the newly remolded CC re-release.

    I am buying the add-on set with the faceplates/missiles/gun.

    The new release of the armor has the holes needed to mount the missiles in truck mode.

    The people like who have the old set do not have those holes. FP therefore needed to make the NEW launchers backwards-compatible

    And closer inspection reveals that they put some slots for existing tabs on the original CC mold, thats how they will mount.

    Follow?

    No need to be condescending about it.
    Your post wasn't as clear as you think. I thought you were asking the same thing he did.
    Simple mistake.

    i'm glad they made it backwards compatible, the Trailer cannon only works on the Powered, DIA, or this CC though, which is alright, i'll try it out on Powered, mount the gun in my G3, put it back in CC's hands, the sticker set looks interesting too, since the original release only came with the licence plate
