    at full MSRP, the HLJ price is $1 more then Hasbro (+ shipping, but - sales tax), for a deco i'm liking more ~ i'm pretty good with going Takara for all CW figs if this is how it plays out. Hope the Dollar stays strong!

    Now I just need to wait until Menasor goes up. This wait is killing me. I probably won't have a single CW deluxe or voyager figure until summer this year. But for the better decos it'll be worth it.

    Finally got around to pre-ordering through AE. Looking forward to this guy. It's funny, Superion has always been my least favorite combiner by a long shot. There's never been a version of him I've liked, be it G1, Energon, third-party, whatever. But I LOVE the CW version of him. It's finally won me over on the team. They're just such fun, solid little figures. Especially Silverbolt... he's usually the weakest link, but with CW Silverbolt we finally get an Aerialbot torso worth its salt.

    I agree 100%. I never cared for the team in any other iteration (the G2 version is pretty neat colors at least) but this last CW / UW version is fantastic.

    Sorry I didn't actually click on the link prior.

    I thought they didn't already show it, I assumed based on what PoweredConvoy said with that pic he linked was the only new pic they've shown off.

    Slingshot looks pretty fine.

    The difference between HLJ & BBTS initial price of $125 isn't that different. BBTS will cost out a bit more but not by much. I was hoping it'd be cheaper. I'm fine sticking with BBTS. Looking great though.

    probably end up about $20 cheaper won't it?
    $94 + around $20 shipping -vs- $125 + around $10 shipping?

    People should both order this on HLJ and BBTS/TFS. The Yen may drop another 10% between now and then, but it may also increase 10%. It's not too late to drop one over the other close to the date.

    NEVER have HLJ as your only preorder. Always have a backup. They sometimes don't get enough stock to fulfill your preorders, in which case they will not contact you or anything so you're likely to miss out on buying it from other store. This has happened to me many times.
