Mine was waiting for me when I got back from Japan…awesome toy! Probably my favorite Gentei exclusive.

Mine hit my BBTS pile of loot today. Woo!
Pravus Prime
Is anyone elses shipping status "Pending US Customs Inspection"? Mine's been that since the 21st.

Got mine today. Loose with 2 Guns!
Pravus Prime
Or you could get a regular Skyfire/Jetfire gun for him, since they're both black.
Also yay! Got my shipment notice. In fact, it's already in the USA!

Aww man………
Since I have already bought two of him, i'll see if the one im tempted to open will get his second gun somehow…. maybe sourced from a member of the boards, ebay or the local flea market…
Deceptigtar
no i am pretty sure the packaged versions will have only one gun.
all the pre release ones, most got from genzhao and he was able to get extra guns. granted yes most have 2 left launchers but he made up for it with an extra gun which i think is cool since having 2 left launchers or even 2 right, which my botcon dreadwind does, makes no difference.

i am getting one from a member here for $70 shipped later this week…cannot wait for this guy! he looks damned cool!
TwinSpin
That gold face is hot! Might buy this if I see it at Comic-Con this year…

Nice chap of a reviewer.
Also, Damyum! Hopefully the "two-gun" release is common and not some random mis-packaging on the part of the factory…
IMHO he looks so much more of a total bada$$ with a pair of double-barrels…
Overall, IMHO the nicest of all the repaints of this figure…

Pravus Prime
I haven't gotten my shipping notice yet from Robot Kingdom.
Not to harp on the mistranslation but "Feverish Knowledge Missiles" sounds like such a great weapon that clearly must do something awesome. So much better then lame-o Heat Seekers.

I need to be patient! for mine to arrive!
Also… segoi-ne, Masabon-san?!
Thanks for more out of box pics for the toy! :

I add an image. It is the photograph of the jet form.

Too late. My head-fiction is already in place. The young, eager Skyfire used missiles because he was very excited to learn what they would do to their targets.
"FOR SCIENCE!"
*BWWOOOOOMM*
"… neato!"
Transformed
"Limited" usually "ban" follows it, making the final reading "limited edition."

Got mine today!

The pun on the Henkei line. Gentei means Exclusive. It's part of the same line they just use that for most of their exclusives.
