But given that alternities do retail at that level, $50-55 might be acceptable. The pre-order price is $68, and apparently you get the exclusive chrome piledrivers with it.Quote:

and yeah, i was just thinking about the price diff between TMP Hotrod and HMP Hotrod and then applying it to Sideswipe. It will most likely not happen but....:rolleyes:

The preorders for Sideswipe/Red Alert are 58.90 at RK, (which was cheaper than I thought, I seem to recall them being just over $80 before).
Apparently there's an amazon jp exclusive with exclusive pile drivers? Anyone know how to order it and what the price difference will be to say regular to price ($59)?
tober told me it was 6600yen from fantofan which is $80+Quote:

If anyone is interested:)
For anyone who may have missed it... Obviously the Amazon exclusive jackhammers arn't included.Quote:

Ok, these new colour photos have me really excited.
Can't wait for the release and it looks like RK is having a price war over the price and it seems to be way cheaper than Jp retail.
I wonder what will happen with the hasbro version colour wise, as Lamborghini are 'overseeing' the paint scheme, will they allow hasbro to alter it or will they insist it is the same? Or won't they have a say at all?
My jaw just dropped because I saw the piledriver pics for the first time. Awesome. Does the Amazon version come with the pildedrivers and jackhammers?
Yes, the Amazon chrome jackhammers are exclusive to them, within Japan at least.Quote:

I think I can live without the Amazon one unless I can get it at the same price. I suspect I'll be buying the mould again in future anyway, for G2 Sideswipe and Tigertrack and maybe Red Alert and Deep Cover.Quote:
