Ive already got Defender and Steel Core, so just waiting on Assaulter. Hopefully they'll release him earlier than that set. Keen to get it before Christmas.

If you get the set, i am prepared to take the first 2 off your hands. I just can't afford it atm, in a week or so i could.Quote:

Too late. Sold out.
Didn't end up going for it this morning either. They must have only ordered a very small quantity.
When Assaulter is finally released we can get another chance then. We still get the mini-figures.Quote:

i think he'll come with the minis, no reason not too.
Sorta low-res colour pic of all 3 modes courtesy of seibertron.com.
'Cruise' mode looks to be the weakest, sort of a cross between a vaguely Tidal-Wave-esque carrier, a pontoon, and the SDF-1 from Macross. So, you know, very 'Cybertronian' alt-modes.
It does look like the robot lying down with his arms stretched forward, but all good as long as it doesn't hinder the two other more important modes.Quote:

Not yet.Quote:

But other online resellers are also getting exclusives to their own website too, i.e. TFSource getting the awesome retooled Armoured Battalion set.
I'm sure it's not worth FP's while to close off other channels of redistribution to just their website, it just doesn't seem like a good long-term business growth strategy.
Guys, Pre-orders for WB-003 Warbot Assaulter now available @ Fansprojectcore website. Price is US$94.95 each & postage is $50 for 3 pcs. You can only order max 3 I think.
DO WANT^^^ looks so good!Quote:

Yeah I'll be getting one. I too am in the dilemma of where to order from. I want to order from FPC purely because they have the preorder up. But I want to wait to see if BBTS get the munitioner and explorer reissue and then I'll get the complete Bruticus set and assaulter from the one place.
But probably won't be able to help myself. Give it 20 minutes and we'll see. :rolleyes:
I know what you mean eh? - I'm in a very similar dilemma. :pQuote:

Getting TWO Fansproject releases on Christmas will just be too much for me!! :eek::eek::eek:Quote:

You should have teamed up with others. The three divide to about $113ea.Quote:

and their pre order is sold out:(
Preorder is back up
is it true RK wont be stocking these???
The popularly held tale is that RK peed off FP somehow and will no longer sell them their products to stock.Quote:

That's the rumour.Quote:

I think it is actually a little bit larger than Warbot and possibly Steelcore too. It only barely fits in the box judging by the pics they have shown.
Yeah it's a fair bit bigger actually:

So hoping the hobby shops around here get the 3-pack in...it'll be pricey but worth it.
This will belong to the 'And more' part of this thread :) For anyone who missed out on the last reissue - Fansproject TFX-03 City Commander Add on set Restock at BBTS.
Good to see Fansproject moving fluidly in response to market demand with the recent Asian Henkei Ultra Magnus release :)
They also had the Crossfire Bruticus sets that sold out already :(
And a really expensive preorder for Defender.
Those crossfire sets weren't the reissues though. They were original stock that BBTS had accumulated and decided to dump once the reissue was announced.Quote:

Remember that the reissues are different colours to the original release so as to better match the Asian exclusive I assume that they would need it in hand to match the colours.Quote:

BBTS has the new fansproject crossfire sets on pre order now at 129.99. Should be for the Asia exclusive Bruticus set. Looks pretty sweet.
Woo. Asia exclusive Brut Max and reissue Crossfire sets preordered!
Winner!!!!!:cool:
Did the same thing today :-) Always wanted the FP Colossus but the price was killer.Quote:
