    The Skids listing I'm seeing on AJ right now is from a third-party seller, and they don't ship outside Japan. The Reboost listing I'm seeing specifically says it's being sold by amazon.co.jp.

    because Reboost is sold by amazon.co.jp, Skids is still not.

    Can people really not read like two posts up before asking the same question?

    How many people are going to ask why they can’t order Skids on AJ yet? Are we going for a record?

    With Starscream AJ took so long to post their preorder I ended up going with AE that time. Since they’ve already posted Reboost and Skids may be posted by the time I type this, that’s much quicker than last time. I’m sure it will show up soon. Nobody panic yet. :)

    Yeah, I went the AJ route since I have had good experiences with them, sans my Synchrony Mastercard locking my card account every time I try to use it. Although that price at Anime-Export is pretty darn good.

    Got my AJP preorder in, I’m really excited about Reboost and Skids. I know Skids gets a lot of flak for various reasons, but I’ve always liked him and have been anticipating an MP version for a long time now. Really looking forward to both of these and future repaints!

    Reboost looks so much better than Skids. Something about the oversaturation of primary colors has really been bugging me lately, and I think the fact that reboost is basically just one color on his alt mode instead of a mixture of them makes it more appealing to me.

    I preordered Reboost from BBTS. Not sure if I'll go for Skids though.

    The website lists Reboost as "Citadel Guardia" so I am VERY eager to get to see the bio. I love the stories they've made for guys like Exhaust or Spinout, so I'm expecting something neat here too.

    I'm very on the fence about this....lots of really cool stuff, like the driver figure and the MotoCompo...

    But.

    I hate the fact that his head and color scheme make him look exactly like Optimus. Why would they do that?

    It's accurate to the original toy and box art (yellow eyes from the toy, yellow dots from the art)

    As for the body colour, well there were a shitload of red cars in Diaclone, maybe because red cars were more popular for kids?
