    They said 8pm GMT but we are in BST just now so possibly another hour

    Damn - going by this post and the three others since, there's at least five of us hammering the refresh button on their site for the last 8 minutes :) 

    Good luck!

    Ah yes! GMT is currently 7.09pm. I suck at time zones. Thanks for that! Saved me an hour of refreshing!

    Good luck guys!

    Honestly... FT-16 looks fine to me... and the closest overall to movie and G1 S3 toon Galvatron. FT-16M... I believe is a metallic color repaint... not a "movie accurate repaint". I'm seeing some metal-sparkle in the paint up-close on my screen.

    FT-16 and FT-16M both look cool. Once someone has FT-16M in hand, we will know for sure.

    The note from bbts and moreover tfs-express is note worthy. It makes a lot of sense. I feel better about the situation.

    Can't beat the rising fear of missing out. Good job years of last minute ebay bids came in handy. £25 over what my limit was. Oh well. Edit - It's sold out!!!! Edit Edit - Wow.

    Does tfs Express charge when you place the pre order or when it ships?

    Must admit, I held back briefly on seeing the price before deciding that I'd only end up paying more for a second-hand one in the longer term anyway. Still begrudge it though...

    It was $149.99US so cheaper than US retailers... After shipping it ended up costing nearly $70 in local currency less than it would have through TFSource
