    Probably true, although I'll personally always buy a Springer toy. I just love the character that much.

    Thus far they've done sets for City Commander and G3, so there's a decent chance of that.

    I got my confirmation from BBTS to. I'm guessing since this is a high price, 3rd party item, that a lot of you who are getting him are also interested in Knight Morpher Commander. That's supposed to be out by late march, but it's been delayed often. So, my question is should I ship Defender now or wait for KMC?

    I'm in a similar situation: changes only the shop :D  but the doubt is that... I think anyway we can wait still for a week or so, cause the Defender wont be sold out so early... or I think so ;)

    I hope it will not sell out before I finally have some extra cash.

    Hard to say when KMC will hit, especially since Defender dropped out of the blue a day after seeing finished pics...and KMC finished pics have been floating around for over a month. I'm hoping KMC doesn't become available for at least another week because I don't quite have the funds for him and Defender both. -_-

    If I were in your position I would just go ahead and ship Defender, but that's me, I'm impatient and willing to pay for the impatience.

    I wasn't expecting this to come out anywhere near on-time. Bad timing for the bank account.

    And I reeeeeaaally hope Knight-Morpher Commander doesn't come out in the next few days. After Friday and we're good. Before then, and ouch. =X

    Ok, thanks for the advice. I shipped him. If I was totally confident of when KMC was releasing in another week, I could wait. But since it's still up in the air, I don't mind paying the tiny bit more to get them both shipped seperately to get Defender sooner.

    After seeing the colored pix I couldn't help but buy it. Besides I'm not going to hold my breath for HasTakomy to release a Springer this good in Generations. Can't wait to get it!

    Can anyone make out - and perhaps translate - the paragraph's worth of text on the back of the box?

    Keep in mind that once they sell out, the price goes even higher. BUT only buy it if you can afford it.

    Just wait. Does anyone doubt this will be rereleased at some point? There will be different color schemes, I have little doubt of that.

    Fans at HK-TF said the box design resembles the freezer coffin in the comic.
