I would be all over this is it didn't look movie style. Not saying it's a deal breaker, but I'll have to seriously think about it. Great figure nonetheless though
strictly speaking, "garage kit" implies a model or model add-on that's literally being made in some guy's garage.
So, is BBTS just way overcharging like normal? TF MP Rollar - Transformers Masterpiece Masterpiece at BigBadToyStore
I might be wrong, but I get the feeling robotkingdom.com is listing the kit, while BBTS is listing a prepainted/preassembled version.
BBTS (and I would expect TFsource and other US online stores) will be dealing with a bit of a markup, since they are being imported from Asia, whereas Robotkingdom is actually in Hong Kong.
I don't know if they are prepainted and you just have to assemble it, or what, but robotkingdom lists it as "Transformers Masterpiece MP Rollar Kits Set". Though that could just be a translation issue. If you look carefully at the pics on robotkingdom, Rollar has different paint jobs in different shots. The top pic has a dark grey head with a silver face, and a light gray chest. The third pic down shows a fully dark grey head with blue on top, and dark grey details on the chest. I don't know if that's examples of different ways you can paint him, or just that they photographed different prototypes of the paint job.
If the kit has to be painted then I'll order it from BBTS, I can assemble, but I don't want my Rller to have a sloppy paint job because of me.
