    The only way I know is to cancel the existing order and pre-order it again. I just did that myself as I missed the changed format of the order page as it is at the bottom now and worded differently.

    Jeep Goldblum... "must go faster."

    It lasted all the way into Alternity. And was an underlying emphasis of the Masterpiece line originally. But those licenses cost money and it's cheaper to make a car that only kinda looks like a Lamborghini and ignore the hypocrisy that is, "third parties, bad; not quite loosely resembling a real world vehicle, well, they can't really sue us."

    Thanks for the reminder. Canceled and reordered with those options. It showed up on the review order page (before completing order).

    The cloned dinosaurs were all female to prevent reproduction, but the scientists did the big oopsie and added DNA from frogs that could change gender if not enough males were around.

    People didn't want the super realistic vehicles, they wanted the super realistic bots. (That is to say, MPs)

    Some have said otherwise, but that Jeep is definitely a deluxe.  While the Collabs have always had a markup, we\'re looking at a $70 leader and a $35 deluxe here, compared to the average $10 markup on previous collabs (Voyager Ecto originally selling for $40, Deluxe Gigawatt for $30, even X-Panse, sharing SS Jetfire\'s outer shell, was only $15 more). But, then again this coincides with Hasbro\'s line wide price increases.

    Yea, I had to do the same thing. It's really too bad that Amazon can't quite get the whole "servicing the customers" thing.

    By far my favorite collaborative release so far.

    Missed opportunity to label Tyrannocon Rex a predacon. At least she’s our first Decepticon in the line. :) 

    Fingers crossed Draculus is a con to, we need more bad guys in the line.

    It's definitely not a Jeep.

    I pre ordered because both figures look great in both modes (Yeah that's the TRUE Kingdom Grimlock, gl convincing me otherwise) but yeah this set should be $85 tops. Hopefully it goes on sale on Amazon at least once so the price can drop a little.They also could have included in scale mini figures of Grant and Malcolm. Hell, for the extra $20-$30 they should have included the damn layer on the toilet! LOL

    That really should be Tyrannocon Rex's title.

    Weird they would make a brand new mold for this jeep... but they did so with Maverick, so there... Nice toy would not be surprised if it was a pre-tool for Skids. Curious none of the usual leakers knew this was a 2-pack. Maybe Hasbro is starting to plug the leaks.
    T-rex has some pretty bad colors so not really that interested.

    Well to be fair, when Ectotron was first released, the price was $50 (which is a 66% markup from the Voyagers retail of $30). At that rate, this boxed set would cost $119.52 ($50 @ 66% = $83) + ($22 @ 66% = $36.52). Hasbro probably figures this set will sell well enough to cover their profit margin nicely.

    Looks like a new version of Cybertron Red Alert is closer.

    Toei Company LTD would probably have to end their partnership with Bandai Japan and move Super Sentai to Takara Tomy.

    So who has a better name for JP93?

    I have no problem with that being his original call sign like B-127/Bumblebee, but he needs a true Transformers name. So what are we thinking? Warden? Nublar? Let's fan name this puppy!
