Collection DX is reporting that Kaiyado’s Friends Shop Exclusive Revoltech Ultra Magnus is going to be re-released towards the end of April, along with Convoy (Optimus Prime) and Megatron. Due to relative scarcity of this piece due to its exclusive nature, this is a good chance for anyone who missed out the first time to pick one up.

just want to say i received the ultra mags from hlj. It only took 5 days with ems shipping. cool figure and it was only around 30$. Thanks Skywave for the link.

I normally go with SAL, it's as reliable as the EMS and for the UK at least nearly as fast, since EMS tends to get picked up for customs, and by the time it arrives after the customs process, I've usually only got it a day or two earlier than with SAL. There's insurance of course with the EMS, but I only use it for the expensive stuff.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I cannot find it on the page. Do you have a link?
EDIT: Nevermind… went back a page and found one.

what method of shipping do you guys use on HLJ?
Skywave
Bump to say the pre-order is now re-open on HLJ About 26$ shipped, not bad
LordStanley1893
I think because it was an exclusive. It's still cheaper than the $60-$80 I paid for mine on ebay (you win some you lose some).
Runamuck
$10 more than it was initially. Why would they do that.

Ultra Magnus is now up for Preorder at Big Bad Toy Store for $34.99 go get him:

Agreed. The slow boat from HLJ is way way WAY faster than "preordering" from BBTS. and cheaper.
I got my Magnus order in before HLJ put the stop on it.
GogDog
Your loss. People who get this from HLJ will pay less and get theirs sooner, even with the slowest shipping.
G1Wheeljack
I hope this will be up on BBTS soon, I really want this guy for a good price but I don't order from HLJ
Skywave
I gotta watch this closely since I don't want to miss him out! I wasn't ready to pay 60$+ for him, but now at standard price I'm eager to get him
GogDog
It just went up for preorder, but they have already halted orders until they find out how much they are getting. Keep watching this page folks (or ebay).

thanks just wanted to make sure

If you apply excesive force they can break (it's more of an issue with the glue that is used not the plastic/pvc). Twisting them helps the first time. Usually after the first time they are much easier to change. Hope this helps.
jazz4ever
YES i was thinking about picking up some revoltechs maybe my first will be ultra magnus also i heard that the revoltech hands snap easily is this true and if it is how do you avoid it
Deceptichage
Glad they are releasing him. I preodered one at TFSource some time back and had the order canceled due to lack of availability.
LordStanley1893
I'm in the same boat as Deonasis. But its nice to see people who don't have him, get for a decent price. Well you win some you lose some in the collecting world.
