Does that mean you missed out on pre-ordering too Hursticon? I'm hurting that I took too long and now FPC says 'sold out'. *headdesk*

Do we know if they'll be doing a second release, or if you can buy Steelcore through BBTS/wherever?

Yep, you'd be right there dude - I did indeed miss out on FP's initial Pre-Order ; In answer to your question though, I do remember hearing somewhere that there will be a 2nd wave/release of these figures to the usual Online stores like BBTS, RobotKingdom & TFsource.

Hopefully when it's released on online stores, the prices won't be anywhere near this scalper's prices...

Whilst scalpers suck, that is only $40aud above the retail total including shipping.

I suppose I was expecting to see like $300 or something like that.

Well the auction's still got 36 hours, and it's already $150 before postage.

The height of Warbot Defender's scalps was at about $200 and that was long after it was sold out on all online sites. I paid $170 for it incl. postage, only a couple of months before the reissues came out. FP's more evolved in their understanding of market demands, so I'm sure they'll be producing to meet it.

Here you go guys, an awesome video review by Internet Personality Vangelus: Man I can't wait for a 2nd Run of this figure!

[Jinto]

Tell me about it! Fingers crossed that they do another run in blue before changing the colour pallette. He just looks so good! Steelcore makes me think of an Ultra Magnus version of Orion Pax. Instead of an archivist he would have been a Cybertronian police officer.

I have a Warbot Defender I'm picking up in 2 weeks, too.

You'll love Warbot Defender man, he's excellent for what equates to the 1st full 3rd party Transforming Robot Toy - Apparently FP are selling a small amount of cancelled orders at TFCon (Happening now) and what doesn't sell will move to their website, prior to the next wider release hitting!

Just revisited this auction and guess what Trent, you were right! Final ending bid before postage is $307!

Not that I have anything against the people that are hoping for a re-release of this, I would like to think that I get something a little extra for jumping on the preorder bandwagon for this other than an inflated shipping cost.

They stated on their website that this would be limited to only 800 units, and while this was in all likelyhood because they only made 800 in case it flopped and didn't sell, that's the only thing that made me bite, the fact that I might miss out.

But meh, like I said, I don't want anyone to miss out who wants it.
