    I have no clue, I stopped looking long ago. I bought him as soon as I heard Hasbo wasn't bringing him over.

    This guy is so good that he makes Knockout look like a better toy when you pose them together.

    Take the hit for missing the boat, it happens to the best of us. Prime is going to be around for at least 2 more years which means the line will be collectable for at least another 3. Breakdown being a core character and an exclusive (aka low run) is going to have a lot of desirability for a long time. I can only see the price going up, maybe not by much, but I don't see a price crash on this guy.

    my 2cents :)

    This is probably as cheap as you'll get: robotkingdom.com -- Online Toys Company

    (Keep in mind it'll probably be about $15 for shipping)

    LOL I feel your pain. Actual I don't, I knew I would, so I bought him before I did. ;P

    Good luck in your quest and I do endorse him as a must have figure.

    SOLD OUT!!!

    Oh. I guess I missed that. I guess you're out of luck then. I guess you could wait for the Cylas Breakdown? It's black but it'll be cheaper...

    Man I'm glad I snagged him when I did a month ago.

    I'm loving FE Bulkhead and AM Thundercracker. They look great on my Prime shelf. I gotta say, as a whole, this line is really nice. :)

    Modded out Voyager Dreadwing's powerizer gun (removed the spring and batteries, glued the parts together so it locks out, and added a chrome washer and two removable 5mm posts so he can hold it underslung like in the show). I'll try to paint it silver one of these days.

    It holds well. I painted the Tailfins and eyebrows, and it hasn't scratched or worn off.
