    Well it was my dastardly plan to buy 2 Greatshots anyway. That way, I can put one to keep in bot mode the other to keep in Rhino beast mode... 2 of my absolute faves..
    Then we shall see if @Maz will be actually bonkers, in a good way of course, to buy SIX Greatshots to put him in all 6 of his different alt modes...! ;) 
    Go on @Maz..you know you want to! :p

    Why wouldn't you troop build an exclusive figure??

    Pre-ordered both from BBTS. Pretty happy with the prices, honestly - was prepared for worse. Now waiting for DNA to announce upgrade sets for GM :)

    I actually would be impressed and and alittle scared of how much all six would cost in total. But that would be some kick@ss feat...

    Noice!! People who are on the fence should lock their preorders for both these hotly anticipated releases, or risk regretting missing out ..
    Id hate to be forced to pay 3xs of their original price..

    HAH noooooo I'm going for one in each mode for a display, but each has to be different. So far have G1 and MMC, will add Legends and hopefully one day either DX9, FansToys, Iron factory or another 3P will repaint their Sixshot analogues into Greatshot.

    All the best

    Preordered both. I really wish this wasn't coming out the same time as LG Metroplex though, I may as well just set my wallet on fire. :eek:

    Exactly, have plenty of time to change our minds if necessary.

    @Maz - I am curious, how many permanent items do you have in your collection? Or is everything on rotation?

    RK shipping is too high. If I didn't have to pay them in advance, I'd consider it... but it looks like I'll be waiting for ebay sellers for Greatshot.

    BTW, I sincerely doubt these will be particularly hard to find or expensive.

    A lot of permanent stuff. My Joustra Diaclone, my G1, my Masterpiece, my MTMTE comics, I am hoping my Titans Return and Legends - no plan to sell any of this stuff barring any major circumstances. A fair amount of my 3rd party stuff, although i do tend to sell review samples if the item itself is not something I would necessarily have picked up myself.

    I never collect to rotate, sometimes things necessitate the selling of some toys to raise funds or cash. Shit happens, you know? But these days I don't buy anything with the attitude of "I'll enjoy it for a while then sell it on", but if something no longer fits with my collecting goals or interests, I do consider selling it to raise funds, mostly space and just not to have stuff lying around that I am not enjoying. Selling my MTMTE/Lost Light toys (mainly the Reformatted MMC) was a decision I made based on my decision to no longer pursue completing a Lost Light shelf in the specific aesthetic of the comic.

    All the best
    Maz
