TFSource is listing August as the arrival for him.

 

Which would be about right. Same date at Robotkindom and other sites.

Last few Walgreens exclusives have shown up around then in the far east before hitting Walgreens in the US later in the year.

 

That may explain the price tag. We're getting them from an overseas source rather than Walgreens.

Thanks for the heads up on the pre-order. I tossed one on the stack in the off chance a cheaper alternative doesn't pop up sooner.

 

Same reason we North American's never got a Titan Class Metrotitan, from what I understand. Metrotitan was brought up in a meeting involving coming up with reuses for Titan Class Metroplex, and everyone else in the room other than the one guy who suggested him basically said "Who's Metrotitan?". So...yeah.

 

Transformers Power of the Primes PP-41 Wreck-Gar takara version is up for preorder on bbts

 

That is so sad. I have no connection to Metrotitan but I still want one, his deco is fantastic!

 

Glad there's another avenue to get one!

 

And Dogfight, too!

 

It's also pathetic. I don't know about now, but back then they actually thought that because they didn't know of a specific character, then that meant that none of their adult collector fanbase would know of that same character (and kids don't know, obviously, but of course they won't know of certain characters unless you introduce said character to them!)? That's just stupid bullcrap.

 

I had a $10 gift certificate with thechosenprime folks so I preordered one via their site.

 

Anyone had a dispatch email from Robotkingdom? If so when?

Just noticed that mine's in the post when I went to check the order details and found a HK mail tracking number attached!

 

Yeah 4 days ago. They started shipping early, they also changed the shippingdate on the site.

 

My RK order of him arrived this morning. Only took a few days, despite using their cheapest shipping option. Impressive, actually. Haven't opened him up yet. Coffee still working its way into me lol.

 

Can someone with their Wreck-Gar finally answer the question of who's art is on the side of the package?

 

I second this question

 

Would it say somewhere? (Re: the artist.)

 

I might be wrong, but I think he means the art of who the combiner is going to be on the side of the packaging.

 

He looks pretty good. Might have to hit up TCP!
