Another Chance At A Henkei/Universe Ratchet

[Sky Shadow]

The new Autobot Warriors set is ridiculously expensive (http://www.robotkingdom.com/just-listed-items/week-8-17th-february-2014/tftcstpaw.html), but then, so are Henkei/Universe Ratchets in general. Different deco, same toy:

(Also, Kup and Perceptor, but I can't imagine anyone would care.)

I only need 3 more Henkei figures and 1 Minibot set and I have all of them. Ratchet is one thats missing so I have an alternative now over getting the Henkei release.

Just saw this on Fb, they also linked me to the two other sets (Astrotrain, Octane and Galvatron, Ironhide, Mirage and Hound).

Can't wait. I got the Ace set last time around. I think I'm going to get the other two sets. I'd like to get this one too, but I already have a Perceptor.

Were there pictures of the Astrotrain and Ironhide sets?

Can't say I like the red hood on Ratchet, but good way to get a figure that's otherwise hard to come by. (And he looks fine in robot mode)

Those two were announced back in August last year: www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=16748 It's weird if there are images of the new one and not those.

Yes, in robot kingdom as well. Hasbro generations pre-order

If the decos are accurate, it's these: http://www.robotkingdom.com/tftcstpde-1.html

Yep, I know they've been coming, but to the best of my knowledge no pictures of their new decos had been seen until today.

And those RK pics don't seem to show any noticeable difference (unlike Ratchet and Kup in the new photo).

A great opportunity for newer collectors to pick these guys up without breaking the... oh wait.

:p so funny :p

I had a look on ebay there are actually a couple of Ratchet's on right now that are cheaper than this new one (but of course they don't come with another Perceptor and Kup). I might take advantage of the ones on ebay next week since I don't need another Perceptor or Kup.

OMG! Kup! Perceptor!

I sit corrected. :P

[gekisou]

But I only need Ratchet... :(

[MayzaPrime]

:eek: That price...

No thanks, I am now very happy with my Generations figures :D

It'd be a good idea, I prefer the Henkei deco anyway :)

Two other Henkei trios are up for preorder:
Autobot Specialists Three Pack (http://www.robotkingdom.com/tftcstpau.html) Ironhide, Hound and Mirage.
Decepticon Specialists Three Pack (http://www.robotkingdom.com/tftcstpde.html) Galvatron, Octane and Astrotrain.

Or, you can get both and save $10 (http://www.robotkingdom.com/tftcstpde-1.html) plus whatever savings from combined shipping.

[Omega Metro]

Yeah, I kinda want just the Ratchet as well. Not overly bothered though.:)

[jazzcomp]

Just after Henkei mirage :)

[Tabias Prime]

Well I guess TFP Ratchet will have to remain my fill in for CHUG Ratchet as I cant justify that price.

[foor]

Just after Henkei mirage :)

And I'm just after Hound and Ironhide... ;)

[Bidoofdude]

And I'm just after Hound and Ironhide... ;)

I need the whole pack. Mirage, Hound and Ironhide are all massive gaps in my Classics collection, as is Astrotrain and Galvatron. Octane is kind of too. ;)

[Sky Shadow]

Here (http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810804819/) are the other Autobots.

I still think they should have recoloured Ravage as Steeljaw.

It will be tough but I may try and get these as I want to upgrade my Hasbro versions. And hopefully they continue to redeco the majority of classics as just a few shiny ones would be bad.

Really I am waiting to see what they do with the Decepticon pack before I decide.

I love the look of metallic Ironhide but practically speaking he is one of those nightmarish figures to transform so the longevity of that finish will be suspect, especially if he turns out 'wet'.
