I pre-ordered the deluxes, but I'm just a comparison photo of BotCon Slice and Wheeljack away from dropping the whole thing.
That's the only one I'm interested in, and I figure he's going to be the one that resells stupid high, so I might as well save myself some cash by selling the other three. Can you imagine if BBTS had gotten an exclusive wave like this in Generations? -------------------- Needed: Missile for Movie 1 Jolt

QUOTE(Solarstorm @ Sep 1 2012, 01:57 AM)  I preordered the Dark Energon voyagers. At $50 for the two, it isn't much worse than retail. I'm not sure what I'll do with Prime at the moment, but I REALLY want Megatron for my pretender homage shelf. Ever since someone mentioned the comparison, I can't stop imagining Dark Energon Megatron as the pretender shell of Roadblock TFU.Info - Roadblock Prime seems to be the right colors to be Skyhammer (IMG:http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/4/4f/G1_Skyhammer_toy.jpg) (IMG:http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/3/9/4/7/1/TRANSFORMERS_Dark-Energon_Optimus_1342234375.jpg) |

Went ahead and preordered, I only have two of those molds, the price is decent, and I can do magic things with translucent plastic and Monster Kolor clear coat.
So they're pretty much guaranteed not to sell well, and be heavily discounted soon. --------------------  |

I'm hoping if this goes well we can get a follow up line, Maybe with Dark Energon Arcee, Ratchet, Soundwave, Vehicon, Bulkhead & Dreadwing.

I have pre-ordered them all because I like the look. Really can't wait for Megatron. I'm hoping the purples are close enough to blend to be able to use the gorilla and bat Microns from Darkness Megatron with the Dark Energon figure.

Im a bit torn on ordering. Right now, preordering the 2 voyagers is the only way to get the face remold. But Id say its pretty much assured that we will also get a mainline repaint of this Optimus mold as well...and hopefully it will have the DE's faceplate-less headmold. I am going to wait it out, and keep an eye on BBTS stock.

Canceled my pre-order. I can't justify buying these to customize, since I've yet to finish a single transformers custom in over a year.
Still like them lots, and if I had the budget, would pick them up just to have. -------------------- |

I've pre-ordered the Deluxes (primarily for Wheeljack/Slicer and Starscream/Skywarp), and I really like the look of that Megatron. But I've no real desire for that Prime, so the Voyagers remain unordered.
I feel myself weakening, though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-wildride.gif) -------------------- Ursa Magnus avatar by Jake and Hansime. Thanks, guys!

Since I canceled my pre-order these will now sell out, and the price on the secondary market will skyrocket.
It is my curse. -------------------- |

That's funny. Someone didn't know they'd be online exclusives.

Looks like they dropped the majority of the translucent plastic (well, the stuff that was going to be newly translucent) on Megatron. Still looks nice, but pretty much bypasses the "gimmick". Glad I didn't bite on the voyagers.

UNF! They look nice, but I cancelled them a few days ago, had to make room for other stuff.
Sigh... it's for fortress maximus...it's for fortress maximus... |

Maybe another retailer was initially interested but ultimately didn't pick them up. -------------------- I have signatures disabled because they suck.
