Nice e-hobby red tracks G-rock! I've been looking for one for about a year now, from where did you obtain him if you don't mind me asking?
that one was from Japan. the price tag on it says ¥1200? i'm not sure if thats right. seems awfully cheap, even 10 years ago.. (i paid a lot more than that)
That be Road Rage. She was sold with Crosscut and is his bodyguard.
That IS cheap! I paid the original retail price for her and Crosscut which was 6000JPY ($79); so I effectively paid 3000JPY ($39.50) for Road Rage. Although... as an eHobby exclusive, none of them should have price tag stickers as they were never sold in stores. Unless someone bought it off eHobby then for whatever reason decided to sell it off super cheap! Damn that is cheap!
got this today courtesy of Robot Kingdom.
Is that a Hasbro version of DotM Wheeljack?!? I thought that toy was only released by TakaraTOMY, but that's definitely not a TakTOM packaging! (the toy was called Autobot Que for one thing)
It was first announced here as likely to be an Asian (non-JP) release (because it wasn't being solicited by JP sources) - 6th May
And a group-order was posted up here also speculating it to be a HK release - 7th May (the hotlinked image in that post was later changed by Robotkingdom after they got the stock)
When it was released, it was posted in the acquisition topic & the name change was noted in the news section - 30th May
As well as in the group-order topic - 31st May
This has been the best month for me as a Transformers collector in some time!
My newest and most magical possession is the extremely hard to track down Armour Up Activator Optimus Prime! According to the Allspark Almanac Part 2, this is how Optimus Prime would have looked if there were a Season 4 (prior to him later beefcaking into Powermaster Optimus Prime!).
I've also received the very nice Hyper Hobby Exclusive Black Rodimus. Been looking to pick this guy up for some time and finally got one at a good price. Love the colours on this guy, and the silver on the face and the transparent red windows look brilliant. Very pleased!
