Yeah- I've posted ibot's comment when he said something to the effect of "maybe we should make Eligos with a nice paint job" back when Fanstoys Quietus released...

 

If xtb is going to be doing updates of Galvatron’s new troops then I really hope we get a premium painted Eligos first!

 

I skipped the initial releases of this and Eligos (as well as all of Fanstoys S3 bots) as I was convinced Takara would get round to them soon especially after Magnus and Hot Rod 2.0 were released, but the intervening years have somewhat extinguished that hope. When I saw this, Eligos and/ Quietus are all either sold out or going for silly money I started to think I might never have a proper S3 shelf, so I'd definitely be on board if this gets a reissue.

 

Big Bad Toy Store has a reissue listed for it.
Master X MX-II Andras (Reissue)

 

Thanks. I pre-ordered there a couple of days ago but I appreciate the info.

 

You could also read that as a sarcastic response to everyone fawning over Quietus simply because of the paint...

 

Not really. The comment was a clear compliment in my opinion. But it isn't an announcement of an impending reissue either. It was simply a remark/comment:

 

So is this actually getting a reissue? BBTS is the only place I've seen with a preorder listed. Is that more likely just them finding more old stock on order, as opposed to a full reissue?

 

bbts put reissue pre orders up for anything even if there are no reissues planned! they must make a fortune doing this shady shit  

i honestly don't know why people still use bbts they are normally higher priced than most places too

 

Lol I got this guy and he stands in the back. Can’t even see him. Even got an MP 10 matrix in his chest. Only got him because gotta have the trio. Just like you must have a Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave trio

 

is there a better mp scourge??

 

Of course there is... but it's still in design phase, it will come loaded with paint, diecast and frustratingly breakable hinges, swivel and pivots. It will also scratch itself during transformation (which is your fault, not the designs) and it will be defended with such comments such as 'This is a perfect transformer, looks great in robot mode... I don't transform my toys 10/10 best transformer ever' and will be defended with as much fiery passion of that of a thousand suns.

 

but it must be in my fav bluple color

 

I still use them because they provide excellent customer service. They have always given me replacement parts or even entire replacement figures when I get one with bad QC. I have purchased from a few of the other regularly talked about vendors before and have not had the same quality customer service or support. That is why I continue with BBTS personally.

 

Baba's got Andras up for pre-order for $136USD before $10 discount for $100 purchase... you do have the pay in full up-front though.

Is this site legit? Looks shady AF.

 

Yes, baba is one of the most popular chinese ebay sellers around here. They went and made their own website after some ebay issues (I believe someone had reported them for selling KOs, so they got suspended temporarily).

 

Well I’d love a new face for Andras! One of Curse, Wrath or the other guys, with his mouth closed and painted eyes.

 

I just want that stupid Metroplex eye...
