BBTS is the only place I know of that still has stock. I didn't realise he was exclusive till the cheaper options sold out.:(

Since it is being released in Asia/HK, Ehobbybaseshop and Robotkingdom still had it in stock the other day, which should be cheaper than an American source like BBTS.

Streetwise is looking very grey... while Hasbro's was almost cream coloured.
Looking at the Gen1 set, I never really noticed the darker white on Streetwise, but the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions are a lot more noticeably different.

Hmmm... Paulbot pointed out before when I was commenting on Hotspot that this set is homaging the cartoon, so I guess it is something I was oblivious of since Defensor was the combiner that had the least amount of screentime.

Yet one of my fav episodes was "the ultimate weapon"... First aid goes AWOL leaving an armless combiner!!! Plus you could actually half transform your Metroplex, just like in the show!!!....

But how's defensor look?

It might be cartoon accurate, but to me it clashes quite badly.. almost like they left a prototype limb on there!

Looks ok in car mode though

that motorbike is freaking massive. even the cars make the helicopter look really small.

Scale, schmaile:D

I sorta like the bright blue of Hotspot... as the Hasbro one was a paler blue that matched the colour of the original toy.

But despite all the colour issues, that Groove more than makes up for it.
I can't wait for this to be released.

well another delay... release has been moved a couple of weeks

from 28th November to 12th December :(
