    I'd hope for both options from FT. Crosshairs is my favourite TM.

    @solskjaer stated that his Taobao seller told him FT-42 Hunk has been pushed back to July (for Chinese sellers). So that sounds like a mid-late June Hunk release for non-Chinese sellers followed by early July release for Chinese sellers.

    Yes. Raiden is G1, just like Stepper and Artfire are. Any character introduced before 1992 or 1993 is essentially G1.
    But yeah, I definitely want to see a definitive Devastator from FT, along with Bruticus, Protectobots, Predacons, Terrorcons, and Seacons. Sky Lynx as well.
    We also need citybots/citycons from FT including Metroplex, Trypticon, and Scorponok.

    I'm sure FT will include both heads for Crosshairs like MakeToys would have done with theirs. It would suck if they had 2 separate releases, each with a different head.

    Ok, i stopped watching after " rebirth ".
    Did saw a few eps of beastwars. Never really liked it.
    After all of that, the first thing i watched were the movies.
    And later i picked it up again like Prime wars trilogy, then animated, Prime and now cyberverse.
    I must say Prime was really good. Love that serie.
    Love that Starscream too, but not as much as cyberverse Screamer. That guy was super funny in season 2.
    Always love Screamer, he's the best.

    "Any chance" definitely. For now though there is no proof of them going past Headmasters, though there is also nothing saying they won't eventually.

    I expect FT would include bot modes for the Seacons if they do them some day. I know it isn't "toon accurate", but the Seacons are already not a top tier team and the loss of sales for not doing a bot mode for them would probably be too much. The full "5-mode" limbs probably won't happen though.

    Only series other than G1 that I've ever liked. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

    The Japanese series ignores the events in The Rebirth and used their own Headmaster Story:

    Bummer. Want triplechangers more than combiner limbs. Oh well, at least we got Sheridan. Gewalt and Chigurh will have to hang around a little longer.

    Honestly I just want one a month, whatever they are. I hope we’re not on a 2 month/figure schedule.

    Hey has anyone ever used a site called xtheuppa.com ?
    I wondering if this is real or not.



    Nevermind, I found my answer it's not trustworthy. non of the links are real and the CS E-mail is different from the domain name.

    $220 for Astrotrain/Thomas? Ouch, ouch, ouch. Them's some Takara prices (although I am willing to wager on Fans Toys' level of quality, and never will again on Takara's)!

    I wonder if that's indicative of all future Fans Toys releases, or just a reflection of recent events. Or maybe because we all pre-ordered Blitzwing/Berserk at $140 way back during the Bush Administration . . . ? At least they gave us six months to save up :) .

    At this point, ebay is your best bet but its hard as they are rarely on there and go for high $$$. I've been looking for ages with no luck but some threads have mentioned now that Maketoys have started communicating to the outside world again, that the they might be doing rereleases - so I would hold on for that.

    - sorry not really that helpful

    I was thinking this this morning when I saw the price on all of the usual channels. $219!! That is much higher than I thought and expected it to be.

    Transbridge are saying $149 but with $88 shipping, which puts it at $237.

    The Dinobots weren't even this much!

    $219 can't be right can it?

    Are companies raising their prices to claw back on the loss of revenue over the last months because of the economic drop?

    Maybe they're factoring current shipping costs and that cost will come down considerably when shipping space isn't at such a premium.

    I was hoping for a price similar to RoadKing.

    It's very high. Then think Berserk is going to be in the same bracket.

    I'm shocked actually.
