    85 usd excluding shipping is a bit steep.

    Hopefully he's available elsewhere at a cheaper price...

    Well isn't that NORMAL price consider what they are selling second release for Red Alert?

    If it goes to stores like Anime Export, I get one, I am not grabbing from US stores where possible.

    Absolutely. It's the same with Bumblebee... the colours played a huge part.

    I guess some TF fans don't realise that "to talk a blue streak" is an old phrase meaning 'to talk A LOT, and to talk quickly'... which is, according to his bio, exactly what Bluestreak does. Of course, it's also a play on words... being that he's a fast car (originally blue).

    Two Toy Shows & two diaclone repaints
    What are the odds of the next Toy Sho featuring another Diaclone repaint?
    It may very well be Wheeljack, as there was 8-9 months between Sideswipe & Prowl's release before the next Tokyo Toy Show

    If they do a Powered Convoy out of Ultra Magnus I'd get that.
