Autobot or Decepticons,Black Convoy is sold to me

Either way, Autobot or Decepticon, I'm still gonna get this. I definitely would prefer it be Decepticon as it would save a reprolabel for me. Damn... My TFcon shopping list getting bigger.

much appreciated for the info mate......didnt think it would be cheap!!!

I kinda hope it's an Autobot or SG...then it'll have no real place in my collection and I can cancel my preorder and save $100.

But as a Con, it's a big upgrade to Nem Prime and I would prefer to have this one.

they charge anywhere from $12 to $24 for registered mail...plus the first class international postage fees.

that is the way i ship overseas now...beats the hell out of EMS charges.

But on the other side of that coin...it takes as long as first class international mail...and someone has to be at the residence to sign for the delivery. And there is no included insurance unless you purchase it.

Well, yeah, but it doesn't make sense to ship it that way, even at the lowest end here, the costs would be higher than simply using Priority Mail, and slower.

I agree it looks purple, but it definitely has the Autobot shape to it when I zoom in. I can't imagine it being SG since I'm sure that's Fun Pub's thing. Hopefully, it's a shadow or Photoshop.

Nah, that's just your imagination. Or your stovepipe hat fell down over your eyes again...

yeah, but that's a minor niggle now I guess.. one can always put con/ bot stickers of their choice, right?!

I remember buying the dreadwing/smokscreen and white animated prowl when it first popped up on ebay (paid over double its current value). Back then, robotkingdom didnt put up preorders for them (they put them up after the show/release of the toys). I'm glad robotkingdom put up preorders for these at a good price.

Long Live Robotkingdom,always has good stuff for us
