If they made this guy into Prowl I'd preorder him in a second, especially since I don't plan on getting Universe Prowl (the G1-style deco is too plain; I'll be getting the Bluestreak version instead.) I really like that this new line is going to be 1:32 scale. They'll look a lot be... read more |

From the schedule posted in the other thread, it looks like they're reserving three months to market this guy - I'm still not convinced that this isn't just a one-off, but it could be part of a slow roll out to see if the concept has viability (although, my impression is that BT started... read more |

These may end up wowing me, but I'm not all that thrilled with the size:price ratio. The DIECASTZOMG factor isn't enough to warrant the price premium in my eyes. I'm just glad BBTS has their no-hassle cancel policy. |
