    Soooooo tempted to sell my FT set and get these guys, but it'd be purely a money move.

    I like BC's alt modes slightly better than the bot mode.

    Show.Z Store has a listing to preorder the set. But, as @solskjaer pointed out, it is not guaranteed - as their page notes "If the pre-order quantity is not enough, BC will cancel this reissue. Pre-order session will be ended on 31st Aug."

    kind of, MMC did that to Overload. I think they just want to make sure they can sell certain number of copied before committing to the reissue. MMC learned from the 'mistake' of reissuing Spartan before gauging the interest which resulted in a lot of stock left, the reissue of Tarn sold well though.

    Got my pre-order placed. Thanks @DanLyons for the link! Hopefully there's enough interest for the set to get made!

    So this reissue set is for the solid yellow chest version. I wish they included swappable clear yellow chest plates as well like FT did with their version.

    Seeeeeriously. I'm an insta buy if I could have the clear orange chests like the "collector's edition". While I'd also prefer the chrome, I don't even need it. Just don't like that bright yellow.

    i just asked Show.Z Store and they replied that the pre-order had sufficient numbers for them to proceed with a production run. no info on when they will be in stock tho.

    im looking forward to getting mine... i decided why not, and if the collectors edition version ever pops up, i'll grab those too. the insecticons are my fav decepticons so i dont mind having multiples
