    Yeah, those tracks are nice. Does it look like they fixed the issue w/ the train wheels not all being on the ground at the same time?

    I still love my original version, the more realistic colors are great.

    This is one where I prefer the toy colors of the original release.

    For me it is great that it turns from a white shuttle into a completely black train. It really sells the engineering of the figure.

    I cant believe this, an exclusive for TFCon, but we have to order through that alternate site and pay a handling fee of 8 USD, and price of the figure is in USD???

    Damn it TFSource, why couldn't you just bring the damn thing and sell it in Canadian dollars at a lower rate for the exclusive. Too bad, eventhough I am not super crasy about it (I prefer toy colors), I would have bought it just cause it's exclusive at the TFCon show and it's rare and cheapest price possible (like what FP and MMC did at the TFCons last year).... but now, will be looking for other exclusives that are only present at the actual show, in Canadian dollars, and not some website that is usd and asks for a handling charge.

    No offense to Toyworld but how about a recolor and reissue of Grindrod!

    See this is probably why TFcon probably isn't doing any exclusives this year. Companies like Toyworld and FansProject will do their own exclusives. TFcon doesn't need to spend the time or money to make up exclusives, they can let the companies do it for them.

    I agree. The white of the original brings some diversity to the generally darker colors of the core Decepticons.

    Same here. I really dig the color scheme on this one over the white deco.

    Hopefully there's enough like minded people and they'll be plenty available at the show.

    I was just about to pre-order it and noticed this too. Sooo not only is it the same price for attendee/non-attendee but in addition, attendees have to pay the processing fee of $8 with Eventbrite?

    I don't mind if I'm being charged in USD, that's fine given they're an American retailer, but why should it cost me more money compared to someone not attending the con and just buying off of their website (assuming they bundle it with another purchase for free shipping)

    Further to that, they even mention if there are any that aren't pre-sold they'll be available for sale at the con in both USD and CAD.....sooo what's the point!?
