Powersa:

Angelwave:
Jeez.....you might as well just get two copies of the book.
Grimlocka go-go:
Gonna have to preorder screamer, been wanting this version for damn near ever.
iron maniac:
I'm a little confused. Does the $119.99 version come with the book AND the Henkei ghost Starscream figure?

Megatronwp38:
Oh i really want that and the clear mirage. as long as they dont come out at the same dang time.
NormanB:
50 bucks for 2 minicons?
Sign me up! Runamuck:
Just preordered Ghost Starscream. Must have.
WhiteMocha:
The Starscream is indispensable, and that's actually a pretty decent price for the minicons given that Slingshot alone was selling on eBay for around 40-50 bucks. I was planning to skip them, but at that price, I'll bite.
Man, which makes it all the more tempting to try and track down a Dragoyell for completeness' sake.
Batman:
I wish screamer had a few more clear parts, but I pre ordered his ass anyway.
Bgrngod:
Haven't these been up on BBTS for awhile now?

I don't know about the Mini-Cons and Generations Vol. 2 book, but the Ghost Starscream hasn't.
frilly toothpick:
starscream is a must buy, but i just ordered henkei thrust.  ill have to wait a few weeks to have spending money. hope they dont sell out too soon.
shadow panther:
i dont see any chrome on screamer.....god i hope he has no chrome
Fago:
I impulsively preordered it. Dam'it! I need to learn to control myself... I might not get it in the end. I like the mold, but 90 bucks... that makes MP08 look cheap...

I'd be interested, but the Classics Starscream mold has virtually been depleted.

You can always take it off pre-order later. They don't charge you until its in stock anyway.
Paladine:
Definitely buying this one. I preordered Book #1 with clear Mirage, I might as well get them all. I'm more interested in the book than the figure to be honest with you.
Gadep:
ZAP!...Minicons sold out!
that was quick!

The_Black_Sheep:
So, Do we have any idea of what's in Generations Volume 2 yet?
Th0r4z1n3:
Generations/Clear Starscream = PRE.ORDER.ED!
I <3 my smart phone planetjacker:
I put in an order for Starscream alone. Would it be worth it to change it to the toy/book combo? I am not familiar with the books.
Johnator:
Preordered. Glad I did too. Th0r4z1n3: Quote:

2point6:

No, but I posted a pre-order on ghost SS and the book almost a month ago from Robotkingdom. I don't think I ever got a credit for that. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...pre-order.html Runamuck: Quote:

Railguard:
Looks good, I wonder how much they would be.
TheMonarch:
Microns back in stock.

Unless there are 100+ people out there willing to take on credit risks, in Japan, to make approximately $30 US.
(or BBTS is buying merchandise that fell off a truck in China, whatever.)

Several years back, the Transformers Generations book came out. It's a visual guide to every US, European, and Japanese TF from 1984 through the end of G2. It is simply the best Transformers reference book out there, from the standpoint of completeness and high quality pictures. Text is all Japanese. Several years later came Transformers Generations Deluxe, basically the same thing with a few extra pages of concept drawings & miscellaneous stuff.
Unrelated to these are the new books, also called Generations, but (based on what I see in the first volume) are not nearly as good. Instead of being chronological, things are listed all over the place... not every toy is pictured, and some (which just happen to be on shelves) are heavily over-featured. Seriously, I don't need five full pages on the Mickey Mouse Transformer. It feels more like a catalog than a reference book, but the pictures are still nice.

(or BBTS is buying merchandise that fell off a truck in China, whatever.) | I guess their Japanese contacts might just have purchased LARGE quantities of these microns. IIRC, they will be manufatured only after being ordered, so a large incoming production run might explain the 3rd quarter release.
After BBTS Battle Unicorn, such a nice thing is more than welcome! Now, if BBTS would just put out Dragoyells for cheap... Automorpher:
OMG! These are expensive to own over at your country.
I'm glad that we don't have to pay that kind of $$$ for these exclusives in mine. (Phew!) Bgrngod:
I told myself I didn't need 2 overpriced minicons and a transparent Starscream, but evidently I do....
Pre-ordered!!
