    Looks like Hasbro took liberties with his color. Hopefully Takara gets it right. The lack of red torso & waist doesn't look right.

    Yikes, that looks way less shiny metallic than I was hoping for. I might have to pass on the $50 shipped price from RK. I have no problem wiating for this and paying $25 when it comes out over here. Or $60 for the eventual Takara release with a nice metallic paint job.

    I wish they'd make one of the cases

    1x Grimlock
    1x Soundwave
    1x Soundblaster
    1x Blaster

    That would make everyone's life so much easier...

    i'm sure the false advertising has lead to a lot of people quitting transformers altogether. i was never into redecos before but after having owned some, i can honestly say that they feel like brand new figures. color changes really change the figure entirely. the best example is probably all of the different optimus prime redecos.

    When does BBTS usually update? I want Blaster and Grimmy but not for those prices.

    Yeah, but one of you comes with Laserbeak, and the other comes with Buzzsaw.

    Very excited to have him on his way. But does anyone know about how long it takes for them to ship to the US? ^^"

    In or around a week to two weeks, depending on what shipping method is used.

    But since it's Xmas, maybe a bit longer.




    Are you referring to shipping times from HK, or Us release date?

    shipping from asia. whenever i have ordered something from asia it has taken about 2 months or not come at all. i've ordered from ebay, play-asia.com, hk bootleggers, etc. i've never ordered from robotkingdom but i don't get how they could be so much faster.

    did you use regular mail or ems?

    regular post with those guys, usually no longer than 7 days for me, sometimes i have had the items come in 3 or 5 days.

    just depends.
