Board member ki1983ng has brought to our attention the existance of a KO City Commander kit. Pictures on Actoys relate the following defects found by a buyer of one of the kits:
1. Different box material
2. Weak trailer connection
3. Loose shoulder and arm pieces
4. Peg hole for gun on shoulder piece to big
5. BFG does not snap together properly

That is a lot of differences in quality. The KO makers made it easier to spot this fake.

Fansproject site updated with pictures of KO City Commander Kit.

We'd only gotten news of City Commander being "re-introduced" this far, no pricing being mentioned just as yet. We'll be sure to update if we hear it first.
Mr.Sci-Fi
Probably same price point as the others $80-$100

Is there a price for the City Commander re-release?
Automorpher
I'm not greedy, just include the missiles this time round & I'll buy this again.

If the missles and the sword are added to the set along with the fact its been retooled to add screws it could well be considered a different toy, they could even go as far as putting a new name on it.

If a re-release of City Commander is coming then I would be suprised.
Keep in mind, there is no Henkei Ultra Magnus to go with this armor so it would be a US release only again.
Hopefully it would be with some diffrent stuff and Paint Deco. Maybe a Matrix or something would be cool.
DrillBIT
Yeah! This time it comes with a home brewed core-robot!

I think when fans have no issue in buying a KO City Commander, then that gives FansProject the ok to reissue City Commander.

Well, IMO if the re-released version of City Commander goes by a different name (ala Powered Commander and D.I.A Commander) and paint apps are different, then you can't say that FP went back on their word, can you?
Afterall, they would still be 2 different products….
Automorpher
These shop owners/suppliers were the guys that leaked "Asian" Powered Commander thing, which had me trying to warn you guys on TFCon thread.
That "Asian" version is now D.I.A Commander officially so are we talking to the right people? Again, that's for you to decide.
DrillBIT
Wow. They did release City Commander and Cliff Jumper set again?
aprim
double post!
aprim
Funny, when I spoke to the guys from FP in person at TFCON, i was told they would never ever release City Commander or Cliff jumper set again.
These guys really are full of crap.
DrillBIT
There was a shop in Japan also said that they were getting the Shadow Commander kit from a FP contact a while ago but at the end the kit turned out to be a KO… till now they still won't admit that they are selling KOs in their shop.
Hopefully the shops in Singapore are talking to the right people.

"Rumor" in Seibertron, read up more below:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans…093-singapore-transformers-sightings-771.html
I'll wave off the entire thing as hearsay but not when a TFs forum had been informed by FP themselves. Furthermore, with a whole fleet of toy/specialty shops in Singapore taking orders now, I think not.
& I'm quoting this because some shop owners/suppliers had also received likewise notification from FP themselves.

It says very clearly in the posting that it's a rumor and nothing has been confirmed.
Not saying it will or won't happen… But acting like it's a sure thing is a little premature.
DrillBIT
Ah, good news for those who wants the City Commander Kit.
But not a very good news for those who are waiting for the Protector Kit.
If they really want to have a revised City Commander Kit out by the end of the year they will definately have to put everything on their schedule to a stop in order to get this done. I don't think they have the facility and resource to get multiple projects (as in big kits) done at the same time, especially "last quater of this year".

This was FP'ed on seibertron as well. Many thanks to Mach for providing the headsup!
