This has been my preferred Springer (or at least I think so, haha based on pics). I hope this drops.

 

Same. I've been waiting patiently for this guy as well as FT scourge. Almost picked up an andras but I have faith FT will finish that trio

 

I'll be picking up Andras, personally. Though i'll definitely keep my eyes on FT's. Springer though, I have XTB's preordered, and I plan on also getting MMC's, and I wouldn't be opposed to getting Apache should he get reissued.

 

I kind of hope Fans Toys doesn't do Scourge, at least right now. They still have minibots, headmasters, triple changers, and hopefully a few reissues. I'm more than happy with my premium repaint of Andras for the time being.

 

Aaaaargh, I was hoping the activity in here meant there was some movement. I have Apache & Koot, but I look forward to replacing them with the better looking XTB versions. They've had long enough to perfect them (4 years?), so expectations are high...

I've pretty much hit saturation with my MP collection (I can't even recall the last MP-scale figure I bought... maybe XTB motormaster last year?), as there are very few characters I want that don't have a suitable figure out already, but these two are on the list.

 

Andras is one of 3 XTB figures I currently have (along with Apollyon [nothing worth upgrading to and I "need" a Megatron] and Crackup [just for MP Countach group, I love same alt mode with different transformations]). For a Troop Builder character like Scourge and the Sweeps I prefer having different molds anyway.

The thing with Scourge is it is one figure and they finish a "team" since Sovereign and Quietus are out. Chomp and Berserk (most people just pair him with Astrotrain, though others would want their Octane to "finish") are the same I know.

While I'm not an XTB fan myself I would still hope they have something worth actually showing at TFCon this weekend. Any news before that (like Planet X showing Shockwave in color a couple of days ago) would surprise me.

 

Kup was revealed to be releasing in late December. Can anyone predict when this guy is coming out?

 

After Kup ;-)

 

The second Tuesday of the 5th week of the 13th month in 2045

 

Don't pressure him, man. He'll do it when he's ready.

 

Last I heard, they were aiming for Jan 2019

 

You win!  

 

next never

 

Sold my Apache for this thing but I’m getting pretty close to giving up on XTB and going back to FT.

 

Placeholder date. No real info from XTB yet in regards to a more precise and realistic release.

 

XTB is like that one friend who says he’ll do this, that, and more with a million probjects in mind, but then abandons every single one after working on them for a little bit because he keeps getting distracted.

 

I remember when people said the same thing about FT.

 

Does that mean you're going to look for another copy of Apache?

 

They at least seem to have stopped revealing things for no reason and are working on things they already announced.
