    It looks like a great kit.....But I'm having trouble justifying a kit that costs as much as the figure. I like what they did here alot....but i cant convince myself to drop another $50 on a $50 figure...especially when there are (likely) 4 more $50 figures coming as well

    I almost put a hole in my table bashing the pre-order button on that one. That tiny, crappy Wheelie is so great, and now he will get to have knees! And an alt mode! Woot...

    I tried to start a game called "Where's Wheelie" but in practice it hasn't worked too well, because with the quality of our cameras and the file size limitations (we can't post 15mb PNGs every time) the game ends up being really tough to beat. So it doesn't move very quickly. It's a fun concept though, so feel free to help energize it if you like Wheelie as much as I do. :) 

    The "Where's Wheelie?" Game

    You're totally correct that the price is too high, but this is specialty goods for advanced Wheelie nerds like us, haha.

    That is a beefy upgrade kit. Wild what they did for Wheelie. Surprised they didn't do anything about Grimlock's chest.

    Loving the Grimlock upgrades, but a little disappointed in the sword not being toy-accurate red. No interest in the Wheelie (Titans Return suffices still) but I'm sure if I ever bought this someone would want it.

    I kind of like Wheelie, the wrist and feet fillers are nice, as are the dino arms and teeth. I think the neck pieces will be redundant if a toy version is released. No need for a sword that can't be held properly.

    He definitely needs a wrist articulation upgrade. If a character is meant to hold a sword, their wrist needs to be able to lean forward, or they will always look stupid holding the sword.

    HASBRO, LISTEN UP. ^^^

    Also, pay attention, folks:

    Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom Leader Megatron

    Leader Megatron (Beast) now In Stock. Don't miss him and complain later.

    I own this figure, even though I've never watched Beast Wars and consider it unwatchable. Beast Megatron is a GREAT character with a talented voice actor that really sold his nature as a narcissist that copied Ancestral Megatron for political reasons. This is a great figure. It's a Leader Class with all its money spend on the figure--you don't see that often. No accessories, just a chonky bastard that you can be afraid of.

    There are some chemical degradation concerns regarding the soft rubber bits of this figure. I personally don't think that should stop you from appreciating and enjoying this thing. It's really fun and cool. I've never transformed mine, because in Robot Mode he's so fun I don't feel like I need to (yet).

    Looks like BBTS is slowly catching up with TF releases (Kingdom & ss86) to other retailers.

    I've got it too, but I'm too into this crappy Wheelie to skip the DX9 kit, I think. I have a few months to think about it.

    Ahhh... no... take your time... Money is tight... I'll wait, BBTS! You slow, beautiful land-whale. Take your time...

    Does anybody have any idea when BBTS, or even any US Retailer for that matter, is getting Dr. Wu's Chatter? I try to be patient when it comes to preorders, but it's been over half a year since I preordered the set from BBTS, and just seeing everyone else in the world getting them is making me feel a little impatient.

    I got impatient and hit ship on Galvatron at just the wrong time. Mine hit the bottleneck at FedEx's temporary sorting facility. Eventually FedEx just said it was lost and to call BBTS, I called BBTS and apparently they've been telling a lot of people that but so far every package FedEx has declared 'lost' has made it to the destination before too long.

    So if anyone is waiting on a delivery that hasn't updated for several days, that might be it.
