    Signed up with Captured Prey just now just to make sure I don't miss out on these two. :)  might be "awkward" if BBTS does put out a preorder for them.... :D

    Yikes! And they're down again, just added more. I will be checking on them periodically until they seem to slow down significantly, so if they show as sold out at any point, make sure to check back a bit later.

    Looking at the Takara versions, wish they could have found a way give Wildrider gray legs instead of red.

    One of the weird things about Offroad is that he doesn't seem to really mesh with the Stunticon ethos according to his bio. The other four limbs all have severe personal problems- Breakdown is a paranoid schizophrenic, Drag Strip is a narcissistic jerk, Dead End is severely depressed, and Wildrider has uncontrollable violent impulses. Offroad's "untrustworthy" trait doesn't match. Breakdown obviously won't trust anyone, and why does it matter if Wildrider trusts you? It would be neat if Offroad had his own personality problems.


    Still buying him anyway because we need more Cons, but I'm glad we have a real Wildrider.

    Apologies folks, I've had to temporarily disable the listings for Quickslinger and Brakeneck, as they apparently aren't meant to be listed online yet (they didn't tell us this when we were given the info). If you'd like to order them, please contact us through the contact link on the site.

    You just need to know where to look if you're still wanting to get these secured. :wink:

    What's the total cost of both figures with shipping to Australia? I'm not in a position to buy at the moment, but a pricerange would be cool.

    It would depend on what shipping method you chose. All the options are presented before payment of course :)

    I wasn't sure where to ask this, but did the Pre-Orders get pulled down for these two because they were early or are they already closed? I was able to find a few other things cheaper than expected so now have room in the budget for these guys.

    Indeed. Going to be fairly pissed if I can't get my hands on these guys.

    Okay. Hopefully that means there are more places that will be getting them than the few that are already "Sold Out". Not sure why HTS and TRU/Amazon/BBTS couldn't figure something out like we've seen with previous "Exclusives".
