Custom Upgrade for Custom Upgrade City Commander???

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-upgrade-set-for-city-commander/14620/

Comes with a new head and missile launchers. Seems like there's only 50 to be made for members of a Singapore board.

I think G1 purists will like this, but I'm a big fan of the upgraded look of City Commander that FP provided. I mean seriously... G1 is sooooo 1984 :p

Its not worth the upgrade, the City Commander head is just fine even if this one is better.

I was hoping for actual pair of missiles+launchers since I don't like removing mine from my G1 Magnus to place them on City Commander.

From SGCollection.com



at this moment, the Mass Order is only for Singapore members so that we can manage the logistics. When that is settled we'd do the overseas one.

Just a note for all - This item would be limited in quantity 200 pieces.

looks nice, but most likely not worth the money they would be asking for it

Just got the answer for you and it's definitely worth it



Includes the following
a. Custom Head piece
b. Custom shoulder launchers (x 1 pair)

Each Set would be at 25SGD and would be painted. Final colors (should be blue). There would be a limit of 50 sets of these for SGC members. The final product would be in quality resin.
For 2 sets the price is 45SGD.

I like it. :)

I'm perfectly happy with my CC's original head. The overall feel is more uniform. This new head is very pretty too. I like the idea of Custom Upgrade for Custom Upgrade. :D

IMO this is totally not worth it. If I want a pair of missiles/launchers for him, I'll just snag a pair off Ebay. :)

On a quick search (http://search.ebay.com.au/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&from=R40&dfsp=32&satitle=ultra+magnus+missile*&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&floc=1&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=3071&sabfmts=1&sacqyop=ge&sacqy=&dfs=20081103&dfts=-1&dfe=20081103&dfte=-1&sabdlo=&sabdhi=&saprclo=&saprchi=&sass=&so=Show+Items&fsop=32&fsoo=2), I can only find one launcher and one missile which collectively cost more than this entire kit.

You got any more specific leads, or maybe a better search query than the one I'm using?

The head although technically more detailed and accurate to the G1 cartoon/comic model also feels out of place within the overall City Commander design.

I would be happy with just a pair of launchers/missiles. It would be cool if Fan Projects could make a pair.

Jay, I just searched ebay too & I couldn't find anything either. :(

oh well, I'm sure they'll pop up on the 'Bay in the future... :)

[jaydisc]

I'm sure other City Commander owners are having the same idea. Expect prices to rise :(

I see the Classic Magnus figure is not the only toy which saw a surge in demand... :D

[iceburn]

I've managed to acquire 2 sets for myself (with a dear S$5 online transfer cost) :(

I'll see if there can be an international order soon and hopefully organise one for fans here. kennymak is asking about it on that forum too so we'll share any information if any sometime soon.

At the meantime, can i get an express of interest to get numbers?

[lcz128]

Interested x2!

[jaydisc]

Icey, I'm interested. What's the ballpark price?

[STL]

Me too

[iceburn]

Icey, I'm interested. What's the ballpark price?

unsure yet...current price is S$25 per set for what i've ordered but there was a discount if 2 were purchased at S$45 but due to my online transfer charge...it's now costing me S$25 each still.

i'll confirm the price again...i doubt it'll be more than US$16?
