    Yeah, I have no clue if the stuff about losing the molds true. I wouldn't believe it unless @dalianjj said it himself. I'm just pointing the obvious out, lol. If those rumors were true, it would definitely make reissues more expensive.

    Yeah, sold out already on day 1. They had them up for sale individually for $150, except grey chest Grenadier was $230 or so.

    Interesting, that I subscribe to be notified when items are listed as new pre-orders or listed in-stock, and I did not receive any notification of this being a thing!

    Yeah, that never works for Fans toys, they sell out pretty quick after going online and it's usually an unexpected time. Your best bet for notification is subscribing to the fans toys threads you're interested in here or FT facebook groups.

    I never heard anything about the molds being lost for the Insecticons. The only lost mold I'm aware of is Quakewave.

    I don't know if it's related, but Quakeblast is the only FansToys KO I've seen. Cloud9 re-tooled Quakewave for their figure.

    Don't count on this being a thing (particularly for FT, it seems :p ).

    It's not just FT. In IT systems, notifications are usually delivered on a best effort basis.

    I would call that a KO even as the mold is completely different. It's just the engineering that's the same.

    I guess there's no more Bombusbee Insecticons coming, That's the longest they've gone without dropping anymore pre-orders

    On the last batch they were already charging more for the purple sets than what I paid earlier for the grey set so they're really getting deep in the warehouse!
