e3nine:
Oh god ... it's so ugly. What did I pre-order?!
Blue Meanie:
I am very conflicted on whether to buy this ugly turd or not. Being a G1 completist is painful sometimes.
Omnibus Prime:
If it was equivalent in price to the E-hobby black Ironhide, I'd bite. But the higher price attached to its higher exclusivity only serves to make it not worth it to me. I kinda like it; I just don't $150 like it.
keebs:
Not what I expected for over $100.

I'm sure Sunstorm caused this issue many years ago.
ikado:
I wonder if it will have the normal white Ratchet cut out head since its the same box? Probably. Can't wait to get mine! Black Ironhide too!

Cause in 3 years you can trade it for an Anime Astrotrain?
RobotoChan:
Cancelled my pre-order a while back for both this and the ehobby black version.
They are just not necessary and, to be honest, look bloody ugly

God I hope so. That stupid e-Hobby figure is a complete stink to find. : (

Not fer me. When the Sunstorm
toy came out, all I saw was 'that yellow seeker from MTMTE' and being a seeker whore, pre-ordered immediately. DW's meh characterization came later.
E-hobby repaints that are Diaclone revisited elicit a similar reaction = WANT!
Diaclone/G1 molds painted up like the 2007 movie = ...yeahbuhwhat? Want? Do not want?
Crobot91:
Can't wait to get him (via bbts pre-order) - should fit nicely in my 'diaclone' re-paint collection.
shibamura_prime:
I had this preordered with BBTS, but canceled it since I figured I might find a good deal on it at BotCon this year. That, and TFSource has it AND the Visual Works book at around the same price.

Same here. $150 is way too much.

Actually I loved Sunstorm. Only because when I was a kids I always wanted the 3 random seekers from the first episode, and they gave me the coolest one. I am also one of the few that loved Furman's take on him a DW.

Yup, did the same thing, but I am skipping the book. Getting the Toy for that much less at TFSource is well worth paying upfront.
bumblebee79:
I'm keeping my preorder, but things like this are what makes it tough being a completist.
BigRC83:
Meh. I still prefer the black version.
Railguard:
Just not interested in these, I want the new ones this August.
flywheels:
*waiting for Hydra to ship his from Japan*
Megatronwp38:
That is so ugly.
Bête Noire:
Doh. I missed the delivery guy as he was attempting to deliver mine today.
It's just as well, I need to get money out of the bank first, anyway.
Damn COD's...

I cant believe more people dont ask themselves this question on this board
Acteon:
Does nothing for me - it was never the best G1 mold anyway, and by mirroring a hideous movie design's equally hideous colour scheme, Takara has created new levels of ugly with this thing.
Devastattor:
That thing is so damn ugly!!!
When repaints go bad.

Oh really? I thought that the 10,000 Yen was all inclusive for two Ratchets.
Well that sucks. I'm not going to be home tomorrow or friday, either so it'll probably be Monday before I get mine.
Ramrider:
Oh my word, that thing's a bit of a munter, innit? It's an interesting idea, transferring the movie colourscheme onto the G1 toy, but it can only work on novelty value - it doesn't look realistic, and it doesn't look good.
Fosterlager:
For the same price in 2001, I bought Brave Max.
Ramrider:
Heh. Excellent point; me too!

Considering the amount (417yen) I think that's a CoD fee to the courier. I am pretty certain it was all inclusive, too, but I wasn't there to argue
Did you contact the takkyubin office? Just to make sure they don't send the package back or anything.
Bête Noire:
Well, I just had mine redelivered today.
It was sent via Seino, and 10,000 included everything. I'm not sure why you got slapped with an extra courier fee. But it shipped from Tokyo, and I live in Tokyo so maybe that had something to do with it?
Bête Noire:
Well, I originally bought two, one to keep and one to sell, but I'm not sure if I really want to keep one anymore.
Sure, the tampoes are really great, and I like the old Ratchet mold, but it just seems redundant to me now.
I'll sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning.
