Breakdown is pretty worthless to me though, the Fansproject one is going to be the one to get.
I will be VERY surprised if MakeToys doesn't do a Battle Tanker repaint.

If we're lucky, they'll give us a CHROMED Battle Tanker repaint. I would eat that up.

I think to keep costs down, just baggies, no more boxes.

Yeah; I believe they said at Botcon the boxes were gonna be as barebones as possible (yet durable).

Yeah, I think they said they'd be shipping in pairs to save on shipping, and without any fancy box. Mind you, I'd love some kind of card or bios. Maybe they could post high res PDFs to download or something. (???)

That said, I'm really bowled over by these. They're some really clever ideas, great looking figures, AND diplomatic nods to a lot of various fan groups. (ie. beasties, femmebots, action master, RID, G1, animated) These are all wins for me... and I think they'll all look fantastic paired with their respective sub-groups.

And we can always sell any that don't float our boat. Win-win.

Now, if they could get around to a general release G2 Sideswipe. :-D

yeah but for me, the boxes give them a better value and feeling of being "exclusive"

Looking great. I really wish they would finalize the details and release them and a date at which we could start signing up so i can plan for it financially.

No shit, I don't how this invalidates my desire for Circuit to have a different head to make him more like his past self and differentiate himself from his 'brother'.

Had a thought: If 'more info on figure availability' equates to 'subs going up in a few days for sale' then I'm going to be very bummed out by the club, as I was actually hoping to join for these figures and Depthcharge. They should of already given us much more forewarning on when they would be going up. It's just good business.
