Snap. And I've pressed ship now twice, once when it was only showing as low stock. But the HLJ ordering system has been known to be a bit silly recently. I don't want to pay BBTS's markup on them tho.
Yeah the black head does few favours to Starscream's F-15 Eagle jet mode. I'd really like to get them it's shame you need to jump through so many hoops to get them I wish I could just order a box load on the cheap and be done with it. Yet again though that they are G1/G2 related = Price gouging. Should be interesting to see how they handle the line with Prime one - will they make a few more G1/G2 ones and mix in the prime ones or just stop making them before they get to Thrust/Dirge/Ramjet/Smokescreen/Ultra Magnus/Black Convoy/Hoist. it would be nice if they did an exclusive set so we could have Sunstorm/Detritus/G2 Ramjet/Black Rodimus/Stepper and the various others.
I would love that and still wish we'd been able to get some of those same redecoes from the WST toys.
Definitely agreed with Starscream. I already have an RTS Screamer with a painted black head and normal gray/blue nosecone so I lucked out there. I just removed the derpy rub sign (those things don't like to stay put anyway given the weak adhesive) and slapped some upside down mini Decepticons stickers (from Reprolabels) on him (I like my Screamer to have upside down symbols to differentiate his traitorous self from Skywarp and Thundercracker XD), and voila. I'll have to track down Hound and Bluestreak with some more blind box purchases!
To my knowledge, the figures shown are the only ones we're getting. Have there been chase figures in the EZ boxes before? I thought chase figures were just a WST/Micron Booster thing.
These look great. Really wish I had funds to knock some of them out, but there are too many that I only have a marginal interest in to buy a full case. If anyone knows of some hobby shops in Shanghai that might have these, please shoot me a PM.
Unfortunately it isn't frugal to do anything BUT a full case. Skywarp is going for $35 on average BEFORE shipping. Streak for $30. Add that up, and you might as well get a shit ton of extra figs for the price.
There are no chase figures. Each figure is likely evenly packed through out a Master Case (and not a box of 12, as there would be 2 of 4 figures and 1 of the other 4 in one box of 12). Randy
Does anyone know where I can pick up one of those Skywarps? I've been watching Ebay like a hawk but have yet to actually see any listed
Individual listings will probably become more widely available soon as sellers start opening up cases to sell what they have, plus collectors selling extras. They barely hit retail this weekend, so they should start popping up on eBay shortly, though as was pointed out above, with the prices that Skywarp and Silverstreak will be going for, it may make buying one case the best option. EDIT: And these just hit my PoL at BBTS.
