Mine was pre-ordered from Hobbylink Japan, Digger. But they're currently out of stuck and (it seems) unlikely to get more in the near future: http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT34288Originally Posted by TheDirtyDigger

Convoy and Soundwave's pages say that they have more show-like blues, whereas Starscream's page does say that his canopy is a more show-like shade of brown (beige). But TFC Starscream is still comparatively more show-accurate than Encore Starscream (his cockpit window is more orange like the show and he has light sky-blue like the cartoon too instead of dark blue). I much prefer the original G1 toy colours mind you. And get your wife to start speaking to you in Japanese 24/7 (it's the best way to learn IMO).

Agreed! They're a nice contrast to the originals.

And it also contains NO metal!!

I wouldn't say that. I paid roughly the same price just for Computron's gestalt parts and rifle alone. Considering that for about the same price I can get:
+ All of Bruticus' gestalt parts and weapon
+ All of the Combaticons' individual weapons
+ All the Combaticons
...I think it's a reasonably good deal.
I'm not a fan of the show colours, but I already have the G1 Combaticons, so I'm not that bothered by it. I'm getting this set in order to:
1/ Get all the accessories that I would otherwise pay _more_ for
2/ Support TakaraTOMY and encourage them to do more gestalt reissues. If this toy shelf warms it will discourage TakaraTOMY from considering future gestalt reissues.
I paid 3500JPY ($45) for mine.

I find it absurd that we should be supporting TakTom by buying this reissue in the slim hope that TakTom will reissue other gestalts. I dont have a problem with them reissuing Bruticus even though I have no interest in it, but to ask someone to buy it just to show we want more special teams is really a bit rich. And considering the amount of times this has been reissued, it would not surprise me if this shelf warmed (even though I'd love to see it succeed for the sake of rest of the fandom).
