From TFW2005: BBTS has just put up a preorder for "Shadow Commander" the previously shown black repaint of the "City Commander" armor. This confirms rumors that this set will be available to the public! Preorder: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail Still on the fence about this one myself, but if any of you are interested you might want to act on that impulse since the production run is reportedly only 1/2 of what it is for the City Commander (Ultra Magnus) armor.

Great news, happy to finally get confirmation of pending release. Now than, considering the price point, as long as his height is somewhat in line with MP Prime and even MP Megs i won't hesitate to pick him up, if his proportions are more in line with MP seekers however, i'll have to take a second look.

Neat find and not a bad price considering. I wonder if this means that 21st Century Toys has plans to re-release the 1/18 Huey that currently goes for upwards of $150 on eBay. Loved to see it, since i missed out on them the first time.

Damn, i just caught The Color of Money on TV the other day too. I honestly can't think of a bad performance i've seen him in.

Wow, nice haul! I always wanted the Tomahawk as a kid, but every time i was given the chance to either buy one when i saved up enough or get one for a special occasion i set my priorities elsewhere. Maybe one day i can pick one up for a good price. I was planning on placing an order with them in the next week, was also going to ask if they did custom sizes on some of their stickers. I'll be sure to ask about the sticker finish when i inquiry about the sizing.

Those customs are outstanding. The hard part at least for me might not be putting the mods together but, actually painting them even half as good as he did. I'd really like to see him put together a Defensor one of these days.

That commercial... was horrible, if they're putting that on TV they've got a couple of screws loose. Just when i was all ready to get out of army building with the release of the EEL. Outside of the Alley Viper, i can't think of any other Cobra trooper that i would have to army build around. I'm almost hoping the figure isn't that appealing if only so i can save some money and time.

Might be able to help you on the Snake Eyes, but the Storm Shadow might be a little harder to come by due to the amount of time that has passed since the release of that wave. If you're more concerned with the overall look of the Storm Shadow and not so much the paint scheme it might be worth it to take Shin's advice and just wait for the Wave 12 Repaint. http://www.yojoe.com/magazine/2008/08/imag...-bonus-wave.jpg

I loved to see him released before Christmas, but I think the release window is a little too ambitious. There really hasn't been too much said about him and there aren't any pics. so I'm guessing a Spring 2009 release.

Yeah, you might want to hold on to that one esp. if it you still have it MOC, the variants in this line so far go for a fair bit of money and/or trade value.

Thanks for the heads up! Just placed an order for 2. I'm actually somewhat surprised they don't have some kind of 1 per a customer quantity limit like they usually do on exclusives and/or new items.

Wow! That looks much better. I've been intending to pick up Leader Bulkhead, but was none to happy with extra bits on his arms, this mod though easily justifies the purchase now.

*SPOILERS FROM ABOVE* SPOILERS I've only seen the movie once but i could have swore there were 2 goons that got in the car with Maroni. At least there were two before he got in the car. Yeah so with the 2 Cops (even though Ramirez supposedly got lucky?) and Maroni and the 2 Goons that comes out to 5 kills for Dent.

Even though the picture displays otherwise, reportedly those horrible "duke arms" will finally be fixed with this Tiger Force release.

Yeah it is, let me see if i can't find a pic of him at the JoeCon. Edit: http://hisstank.com/gallery/Hasbro-Dealer-...ealer_Room_0036 Only pic i could find.

The white one was a homage to Ramjet... as for the female clone i don't have the slightest clue. Any ideas?

Just finished watching the Transformers Animated Season 2 Finale Two Parter: A Bridge Too Close. Outside of the Three parter that introducted the series, these were the best episodes yet. Both episodes will be airing next week Saturday on Cartoon Network, but at least in Canada they aired today, and if you're so inclined you can find both episodes (split up into two parts each) right here on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...ansformers+anim Needless to say everything in the last 28 or so episodes has culminated to this. If you've got 40 or 50 minutes to spare, you won't be disappointed.

According to HISSTANK: Larger vehicles will be shown tomorrow as well, possibly the rumored Rattler. The panel mentioned no promises on the Flagg, Terrordrome, or the Defiant, but if they can get someone to pick them up, they do want to do them. Still a small possibility... but yeah very unlikely, esp. seeing as how the BMF (Big Millinieum Falcon) is already retailing for $150+, A Flagg would probably ring up in the neighborhood of $300, the Terrordrome and the Defiant maybe $200+?

That would be the day. The cartoon series was where it was at. Granted they had to tone down alot of things to make it somewhat appropriate for Saturday mornings, but even with that in mind it was a great series with pretty good character development, good action, and an overarching story that tied alot of things together. How much i would have loved to have seen them finish up the last story arc with a proper ending.

NICE! Now we just need the Rattler and I'm set, well and maybe the Tomahawk.

I don't think he's going to be Green... well at least i hope not. I can't explain why the picture shows him as such in truck mode though. As for the Arcee... yeah that's actually Alt. Decepiticharge's head. The Mold reuse is understandable, making a completely new Binaltech would more than likely be too cost prohibitive at this point. Why TakaraTomy couldn't shell out for at least a new head however is beyond me.

Well it looks like 2 new Binaltechs have been announced. Binaltech BT-21 Arcee feat. Honda S2000 Hardtop with die-cast parts Release Date: 17 July 2008 Price: 5250 Yen Binaltech BT-22 Convoy feat. Dodge Ram with die-cast parts Release Date: 17 Jul 2008 Price: 5250 Yen http://tformers.com/transformers-bt-21-22/9202/news.html Didn't really bother to upload the pictures, because there's not much to em. I'll have to wait and see on the Convoy though, because Die Cast Parts like the WF Black Convoy would be a nice addition. Somewhat disappointing otherwise... esp. Arcee...

Yeah, unfortunately that's usually the case. Beyond having your friends and family keep an eye out, i think the TRU packs will slowly start to saturate the shelves more. IIRC TRU usually has a habit of over ordering on their exclusives... let's hope either the trend continues or the demand isn't as high as it is with the standard releases.

I'd love to see some new mold BTs/Alts. but i can't be certain Takara and/or Hasbro would be willing to put up the money into making a new one. Best we can hope for right now is that they'll release some repaints/remolds that we actually care about. All in due time... if this is even true that is.
