    It's bizarre that EB and Amazon have taken Rotorstorm rather than the Centurion pack. I would have thought the Centurion would have a much broader appeal to collectors who want the parts for the various WFC toys they've already bought. Was the original Rotorstorm released in Australia, and particularly popular here, or something?

    Australia was one of markets that saw Rotorstorm at retail; we got the G1.5 toys here, as did the UK and Europe, but the US didn't.

    Rotorstorm wasn't particularly popular. He did okay, I guess.

    The EB buyer probably has a far shallower knowledge than almost everyone here, and perhaps thinks with all those accessories bumping up the price of the deluxe, it wont sell? Who knows...

    Maybe we can hope they change their minds... I was keen for all those nice weapons!

    The subtle-but-definitely-there paint jobs on dedoptimus and the Centurion drone are nicely done.

    Oh my! There's going to be a Back To The Future crossover. Please let the quality be right up there with Ectotron.

    I was really excited for Rotostorm until I saw it was a lazy, lazy redeco and not a redeco. Different head, and spoiler instead of the tail rotor would have gone a long way. I know they've claimed the head will be different, but, if it wasnt ready why did they announce it? They've CG announcements before.

    Well, I pre-ordered Tigertrack and Centurion from OMP. Guess if they do come out here for significantly cheaper, I can always cancel? Can I cancel from OMP? Ah well, if not.

    They were taking all, but then Covid happened. It’s probable more of “Rotorstrom was too late to cancel, but the others got scratched” than a strange choice of which to get
