    So glad I preordered the set. For that price it's a steal, at least to me, I was expecting it to be alot more lol.

    :( 

    I really, really liked the way the mock ups they presented a while ago looked. I'm no where near as impressed with the final versions. I'll stare at them for another day first, but I think I'm canceling my preorder.

    Really love the color combos on these two. Pre-ordered! Makes me happy and sad at the same time. How the heck will I have enough money for Not-Devastator with all this cool stuff being released?

    Yeah, so I preordered from RobotKingdom.com, and it was less than sixty bucks for me. Shipping was 28 bucks though, overall that means that whoever wants to keep the Megs from the set can get him for $43.00 shipped from me.

    This set is much more worth the $$ than the Generations 'Stepper' repaint of Classics Jazz...IMHO.

    CONTINUING TAKARA'S WEIRD FETISH OF BLACK REPAINTS.

    Nevertheless, I still think these look kinda cool, but notice how every "TAKARA EXCLUSIVE REPAINT" 99% of the time is a black repaint?

    I don't know, I'm wondering exactly how much this thing is gonna go for at the con. I know there's an automatic mark up for the online stores, but just going by the difference between BBTS and RK, BBTS has a 33% mark up over RK, and I'm sure that RK isn't flipping these for no profit. I'd venture to say this is prolly gonna be a $40 at con exclusive, roughly. That being said, BBTS is making a 100%+ profit on these. Wow. Hopefully someone will be going to the con who can knock the asking price down a bit.

    I'm on the fence...but before the 'Con logos were revealed, this was a no-go for me. Let me take a look on RK....

    Or maybe I'll look on TT. How soon is soon? Hours, days, a week? :poke
