Depending on how cheap and how available they are, I might end up getting 3 sets. My tapes are getting pretty old and tired now and probably don't have long left so one set to play with, one to keep MOSC and then maybe a set for my son, though that would mean I'd have to let him have my spare Soundwave.Quote:

I might shoot them an email, I thought they would definitely keep stocking these.Quote:

I'm going to find it extremely hard to resist buying these.
Teeeeeeemptiiiiiiinnnnggggg.......
If Ratbat gets released like this i'll definitely be all over it.
Woot woot!!! I'll be in for a couple of sets of each! :D

Not yet though I suspect Chinese New Year is impacting their response times.Quote:

I wonder if Cotton On will stock these. I'd love to get my hands on Ravage. I had Ravage about 2-3 years ago, but had to sell him (with Soundblaster and Laserbeak) to be able to afford some Titans Return stuff at the time. I regretted it afterwards.
Still waiting on a reply from RK as to whether they are stocking this year's G1 reissues. Have sent a follow up one tonight.Quote:

Got this response from RK:
Hello Customer,
Thank you for your email.
The item still not yet instock in our region.
Please be patient and wait for updates.
I was just asking whether it would be put up for pre-order. So not really informative.
I'd read into that to say that they will end up putting them up at some stage.Quote:

I'm a bit miffed as to why they haven't listed OP yet.
I can only assume that they're just waiting to dot the i's and cross the t's.
Do they not know how to spell Optimus? :pQuote:

Interestingly if you do an eBay search for OP all the results are from the US. So it seems it hasn't made its way to Asia yet.Quote:
