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?

I hope FP do a Optimus Paint job and retooled head. Could be a Cybertronian Ginrai

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.
