    Awesome. Can't wait for these to come in the mail.

    Shame they didn't try to go for any easter eggs with the sticker sheet this time around.

    It sure is a unique 2-pack, but what's with the 2 shades of green on Skids? I think I'd rather spend my money on something else...

    That's the old Diaclone/G1 artwork for the mold. And the shades of green are due to the rear end being diecast. More noticeable in photos.

    What?!! Screech has his own TF toy issued now? What about Zack and Slater? Or maybe even Mr. Belding? Answers, dammit, answers!!

    That's something I'll keep my eyes on. I'd like to get this for sure, and with luck I could see the set being discounted down the road. If not it won't be that big of a deal, but I love diaclone mold so I'll check it out.

    Yeah, but it costs roughly $90 + $25 for the book for even Japan residents to get here domestically. So, I think the online retailer pricing is about right.

    The packaging for that sure looks nice, maybe I will consider it if the price drops substantially.

    I still haven't picked up encore skids...

    As these are being allocated by a draw, I'm wondering if any of the stores won't get enough to fill all their pre-orders.

    I'm still haunted by bloody Astrotrain!

    the repaints usually dont sell out this fast these days (luckely). You just have to have a eye on the market and if yuou notice they start to get less and less around then grab one.

    Ratchet and ironhide is shelfwarmers and so is the guardian.
