Very nice, but wish I had the money for it.

 

HOLY SHIT I need that thing NOW

 

Mercifully, the release date has been pushed to September. That gives me more time.

Not really looking forward to this one (b'coz i've already pre-ordered one of my grails encore Metroplex) but the box artwork looks great. bluish tones to match the actual toy.

 

Wow.. if I wasn't married already I would get myself 3 to army build, just like what I did with Marvel Legends BAF Sentinel. Bought 2 off Ebay with the one I built and totally worth it.

 

It was already at September. The front page is incorrect. I think they may be thinking about the Encore Omega Supreme being released in June.

 

Guh... not only would $219 be the most I've spent on a single TF, but this is also "just" a redeco of a figure I already own.

But it calls to me so.

*holds onto hope for better price at Captured Prey, TFSource, or A3&U*

 

Already preordered one, but damnit now I want a second one!

 

TFSource now has it for preorder. At same price, though.

I thought it was quite dull myself, G1 or not.

 

200 fricking bucks?!!

 

I'd rather have this guy than Black "Crumbles" Zarak or his ilk, though. Ordered, and now I'll just pretend my stimulus check was only for $400.  

 

At least you got a stimulus check.  The U.S. Gov. thinks I'm making too much $. $200 huh? I'll have to wait about 2 weeks before I can order. Oh well. 

 

Believe me, I'd rather have made too much.

 

Has anyone translated the bio? (Sorry I haven't been through the whole thread.) If not I'll do it tomorrow sometime.

 

Man I want one but I don't think I can justify $200 on a redeco Tf, ugh, decisions decisions. I wonder if any Ebay sellers would be selling them for a bit cheaper.

 

I can't count this one as a redeco. Guardian Robots did appear in G1. It would be like saying Thundercracker is a redeco of Skywarp. Anyway, with ebay anything is possible.   Best wishes!

 

Well thats true, I can't argue with that, still though a bit pricey, I'm sure I"ll buy at least one but I was wanting multiples.

 

I ordered 2 thanks to a friend in Japan. So, I didnt have to pay the crazy price of 219. They are all paid for.. and now just waiting on September to roll around.

 

Well, it is $10 cheaper for a "C9" box. That's something. And anytime I've ordered a "C9" item from them, the box has been mint to my eyes.

Are e-Hobby exclusives typically available in any brick-and-mortar stores in Japan? If my trip to Tokyo pans out for this Fall, I may try to pick up a Guardian while I'm there.
