    I was just trying to share:lol 
    I'm excited for Skids but nothing like Megatron or Sunstreaker. Who knows maybe in November he'll be like Inferno and Arcee, releases where a whole lot really wasn't expected and they turned out being some of the better releases.

    Sorry, was just joking that you skipped 55. Skids and Reboost are 53 and 54. 55 hasn't been announced and you were looking to 56 already. It was probably a typo anyway, so just messing around :)

    All right AJ you talked me into it, with all your $30 (CDN) cheaper talk. Is it too much to hope that they’ll change the face from silver to light grey right before release? Probably...

    With the little amount of accessories he comes with already, I’m glad they included wheels. I’d hate to display him on blocks in alt mode.

    I went ahead and ordered him off AJP too. And cancelled my Pulse order. It's only about a $12 savings, but that's enough for me.

    I know it’s a joke but that actually would be hilarious for Skids as the sad-sack everyone forgot me character :D

    Okay, I pre-ordered both from AJP. Looks like i'll be saving $18 overall between Skids and Reboost but i'm still worried that i'll get taxed and that it'll eat up any savings. Hope my worries are unfounded.

    Skids may be parked in a chop shop neighborhood in the near future.

    The price AmJp listed for you includes all the state taxes you will incur, no more. You’re good.

    Hopefully AJP will still discount Skids and Reboost too, despite them already being lower priced than more recent carbots.

    Now all we need is a little Energon and a lot of luck.

    its already more than 30% so I don't think too much will change unless they feel like they will have a glut of Skids on their hands. Think we're counting more on the dollar getting stronger by November

    Oh, cool! I didn’t even check what Takara’s SRP was and didn’t realize AJP just started with a discounted price. Thanks for pointing that out!

    I wonder if that’s how they’ll be doing it moving forward or if it’s just for these two releases.

    I'd prefer it if the head sculpt and paint job on MP-53 were more accurate to the original toy. I still preordered it from BBTS.

    Raoul will steal Skids and sell him to the Geddis brothers.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Tracks told Skids it was a special mission only to set him up.

    Typically Figure King don’t publish any new photos of MPs once the official photos and solicitations are up online.
