Reissue of e-Hobby Sunstorm and Black Megatron

Eh, How was he supposed to know?

Reminds me of that original G1 Stepper going for extremely high dollars just a little while before the reissue was announced...

If I was him, I would've retracted my bid over the last few days. Oh well, no wonder the yanks are having a financial crisis.

And geez, I never knew Stepper was -that- in demand. You literally couldn't even sell him these days and the only reason I have the re-issue in my collection is I'm weak and like the Takara TFC packaging.

The Stepper Pulse refers to was on eBay Australia (in USD) about 2001. A seller in Melbourne got over $US900 for it. This was back when the exchange rate was hovering around 50c. Long before Stepper - or Jazz - was reissued.

The buyer would have had a few years to enjoy it before the reissue (and Ricochet) came along...

Price for the original Sunstorm will surely go down. But maybe not total bad news for those collectors who collect the different package versions. My guess is they'll be releasing the new ones in new packaging.

In an unrelated conversation with Overdrive, they asked if we were interested in Megs. I mentioned our laws.

So, it looks like Overdrive is more than happy to help, and after our last experience, I highly recommend them.

I'm not interested in either of these products, so won't be managing or even participating. PM me if you need Overdrive's details.

Rk has this up for pre-orders:

1) Encore Reissue Exclusive Black Megatron, US$79.9.
Link Here

2) Encore Reissue Exclusive Sunstorm, US$59.9.
Link Here

Both Feb 2009 arrival.

Unsure as to what difference does Black Megs have with Encore 02, so I might pass on that, plus OZ customs probably won't let it through anyway. Sunstorm looks a bit too orange? Or is it usually that colour? I'm not sure cause I don't have any Sunstorm figures. But I'll still get it anyway...

Sunstorm is actually more orange than yellow.

These were taken with flash, so the colour should be accurate.

[GoktimusPrime]

He's a kind of amber IMO.
