    Except they did a full reveal of Locke way even before the trailer and they even put up the whole PO.

    I suspect the real story is that XTB came to know that FT would be doing a reissue of Apache, and they had to move fast.

    ShowZ have updated Locke to "incoming". Surely they're not getting both figures out the door before CNY?

    Weird. It's incoming but they haven't sent the notice to pay it off yet. Whatchu up to, ShowZ?

    Peppered around in their comments, man.

    "Virtus first, then Locke" verbatim.

    Probably fine but, filled with absolute annoyances that make you question why you spent $158 on it. Thats the XTB way.

    Also a lot like a lot of Fanstoys bots. Especially the moves bots.
    *gives the side eye to Blur and Kup*

    Has the debate over whether XTB’s Kup or Springer releases first been settled?

    My first XTB purchase too, fingers crossed :) 

    Wait no, I bought Ollie years ago. He looked great but the quality and transformation wasn't good.

    I actually think this looks better than the FT option. I have enough points for a $20 off coupon at TCP... might pick it up next month. Just need Kup and blurr to complete my 86 autobot collection

    They seem to be reissuing everything else at the moment, they posted pics of their newly repainted (I think?) Windcharger in that thread recently. Maybe they'll do Ollie also.

    Keith wants to keep us on our toes right up until the package is in our hands :p

    I'm probably gonna get this. Hopefully it's still available in a month or two. There are things I like about it than Koot (LOTS, actually) and I already have multiple MP versions of Hot Rod, Blurr, Arcee, Springer, Magnus, Galvatron, and Cyclonus anyway. If FT ever drops a Scourge I'm set, LOL

    I have the FT Kup, and the split down the insignia panel drives me crazy. I'm hoping this one is better.

    This is obviously an individual tastes will vary, but the horizonal splits in the windshield of this one bother me far more than the vertical split FT has.
