    Someone mentioned this but maybe we'll find out something today at Fan Expo Canada. Plus Hasbro Pulse has done a fantastic job of getting us things like this. I bet we'll see ordering options soon.

    Is Nightbird CW ready or the Chromia retool?

    That Drill Dasher is the epitome of perfection.
    looks like I\'m finally buying my first Siege toy when this baby comes out.

    "Yes, the mold looks pretty awkward and its just another retool of of the femme mold"

    "Yes, the Takara Arcee remold is really really good"

    One look at this Nightbird. I really want it

    It's the Siege Chromia toy, which reuses just a few of the Moonracer parts. Upper arms, upper legs and hands IIRC. Certainly not enough to call it a retool!

    So no, she won't combine.

    Didn't really want another Nightbird (My Legends one suits me perfectly), but I do want the Powerdasher.

    Last time was lancer and shockwave. Guess the 3rd powerdasher will be announced with hot shots if they release select series as pairs?

    So... I wonder if Hot Shot and the other Powerdasher will be TT Selects (39.99) or Hasbro Selects (19.99).

    I’m happy with my Legends Nightbird, so I don’t need this one (but I’d have jumped at CW one from the one Torchbearer). But I do want a complete set of Powerdashers, so Hasbro Pulse can list him anytime now...

    Well, Hasbro is releasing one of the Powerdashers with that Impactor/Mirage three pack, right? They just did a Seeker three pack (and a Skywarp three pack) also so I wouldn't be surprised if Zetar and some other TT Select figures don't get worked into some kind of three pack. That is, if Hasbro doesn't import them on Pulse or releases their own version.

    Can anyone answer if it's possible — like with Amazon JP — to set up and an account and order shipping to USA?

    (I don't want to jump into trying to do so if it's not possible.)

    The Moonracer mold is not the same as the Chromia mold. The only shared parts are the thighs and tires. The rest of the figure is completely new and you can't even swap parts between them because the engineering is different.

    Skipping Nightbird since I already have the Arcee retool, but that Powerdasher looks excellent!!

    Gonna have so much fun giving a drill gun to other figures. Also thinking about putting the drill on the cannon when in alt mode.
