Plus I need this set anyways for a multitude of other reasons, so I just hope Hasbro realizes just what a "mail-away" figure will require in terms of distribution. Robot of Miracles: A Story of Second Chances Latest Unseen Stories Update: 11/21/09 "Robot of Miracles: Battlebots" | |

Really interesting to see that there'll be an exclusive figure offer. Hopefully the figure itself will be worth whatever you have to do to get it. I'm really hoping it's not another Bumblebee figure, though if it is, I may still get it, lol. Would be kinda funny if it was the Legends Constructicon figures. Whatever it is, I have a hard time seeing it being a new/unique mold, though that would be awesome if it was. It'll most likely be a repaint, maybe even with a slight retool.
Edit: Anybody else find it interesting that they're calling these "Special Edition" figures? Would be really nice if that yellow on Battlefield Bumblebee was similar to the yellow used on Premium Bumblebee (aka sparkly compared to the other releases). It's nice to know about when this set will be available, and roughly what the price should be. I'm hoping this'll be available at Target. Everything we know about this set currently points towards it being a wide release, so I'm not too worried about it being a store exclusive, but at the same time I wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be one.

Granted, it can be a very slight repaint and still be considered "exclusive". It could be a new mold, but I doubt it. Quote:

It's a cool concept, and I hope I'm wrong. | |

#20 | | Omnibot Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 224 Collection Count: 15 TFA, 13 ROTF, (so far) | Really want this set, because i like the Cannon BB mold, but never got the regular one, and it would make an awesome custom as Cliffjumper. Also, i think i can make Soundwave into an Autobot. Plus, i like the extra NEST stuff. So, the mail away offer sounds good. Cross your fingers, maybe it'll be one of the Primes, or maybe Elita One. Maybe the last guess
Recent aquires= ROTF Jolt, Chromia,
Want list: ROTF HA Skids, Mudflap, Barricade, Deluxe Armorhide,
