The book comes out this month, so listing the toys in August is an error.

 

These guys are soooo cute. Too bad they will be mega expensive. **Sigh**

 

New image, showing Skids & Screech in their box's plastic tray. Seems to indicate they'll ship in a single boxed set and not in individual boxes as was a trend with E-Hobby exclusives back when they were coming out in pairs.

They have the scooters  

When's the draw for these, isn't it anytime now?

 

Once upon a time "Skids" and "Screech" were sucked into Unicron. Unicron thought they tasted awful and spit them out, leaving them mostly ******ed and hideously disfigured. "Skids" kept his name but "Screech" was soo ugly that He was renamed "Mudflap".
The end

 

I think I'd prefer they were separate, you could pay half the price now and get the next later. Too much for me to drop at once, unfortunately


Are the scooters something I missed? Unless they are originally from the Microman/Diaclone line, ok, otherwise, I don't get it.

 

Yep -- from Diaclone. (See here: http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/dia_car_robo_5_to_12.jpg.) The E-hobby Crosscut from a few years ago included the scooter, and also used the same alternate head and hood mold as Screech.

 

The draw seems to be later in December (if there is a draw, I am sure Million Publishing will announce it on their website).
Winners should be notified by mail (not an email - a postcard!) by the 5th of January or thereabouts (they promise to send out the postcards to the winners by the 31st December).

 

I'll pick them up when they go on clearance in two or less years.

 

Yeah good luck with that, as they only made 2,000 of them. I'd like to see how get them on clearance in two years. rolls eyes

Randy

 

Well then I won't grab them. They are not worth very much to me. I do however seem to recall the black ironhides and green ratchets hitting clearance, how many of those did they make?

Besides I have two Crosscuts & Skids so I don't even need the molds.

 

The G1 Ironhide mold doesn't sell, no matter the deco or exclusivity. It's not the best example for how these will perform.

 

They made more of those two figures then they are of the Skids figures. Plus, like said above, the mold is very unpopular.

Randy

 

Well then congrats to those that grab them. If they release the G1 Tracks mold in silver as a movie tie in I would be sold, almost regardless of price.

These molds just are not my cup of tea. Hell I cannot even talk myself into buying Encore Skids, seeing as I have the Takara and Hasbro re-issue. Although the paint aps have me very much tempted.

 

I think if they're going to do a figure in silver, it would be G1 Sideswipe not Tracks, due to the name.

Randy

 

Ah, ok, that would explain the easy redo of these guys, pity it is too much for me, I wouldn't mind having 'em, but, I'd rather have the other exclusives, clear Mirage and clear Starscream.

I really wish we saw more Diaclone stuff from Ehobby. We've been begging for years.

Blue Bluestreak? Bought, no matter the cost.

 

That's a QFT if I ever saw one right there.

Cannot grasp why we got the variants we did and not blue.

 

The all-chrome one was useless, but I very much prefer the silver/black to the blue/silver.

 

I don't see why e-hobby doesn't jump on all the produced molds lately. I would kill for Diaclone re-colors of Hoist and Trailbreaker. And a Blue Bluestreak? Yes, thanks!

 

Takara chooses what's made, they just use e-Hobby as the outlet for selling some of their exclusives.
