Comes with a new gun, not just the missiles.

Sadly, not available in Shadow Commander colors yet.

Also, for those that missed out on City Commander, there's evidently a new release with the missiles and gun included.

Preordered, and awesome. Also surprisingly cheap, which is nice.

Makes me think though, it'd be awesome if they did a weapons set somewhere down the road, just a whole mess of guns and melee weapons to kit out all the unarmed figures we've gotten over the past few years.

That's kinda the G3 Trailer, y'know?

Well that and this is what made me think they'd be cool on their own. But without the whole needing to buy a dirty great trailer to get them kinda thing.

Also, not chrome, and more of them, and using the neat Trasforming thing the City Commander rifle/cannon has going. It's just annoying we've moved away from the standard 5mm fist holes, since it would have made it all easier.

I finally broke down and got it - preordered.

Weapons are now preordered . I was about to be mad at Fansproject for re-releasing the trailer with the shoulder missiles, but now I'm ecstatic seeing as I can finally get my shoulder missiles at a cheap price. Only problem is that the price of these accessories have mad me question getting GOW2.

I already have City Commander, and if it was just the missiles I wouldn't bother but add the gun and I'm there.

Re-Released?


AWESOME

Guess pestering them a bazillion times at TFcon for a re-release paid off!

(I know it wasn't my perstering, but let me keep my illusions )

EDIT: And Pre-Ordered.

Two words: ax/ flai

You sir have won Nothing would be better than having a flail and ax for the Classic leaders. NOTHING!!

Sold. I had been using the G1 Magnus launchers but the fact they had no where to store in trailer mode irked me.

Yeah, I was just using an extra pair of G1 launchers on my City Commander, but that rifle looks cool.

I'm interested to see how this battle with the bootleggers will work out. City Commander, Shadow Commander, Shadow Commander KO, Powered Commander, Powered Commander D.I.A., City Commander KO, City Commander "reissue" (variant?).

I imagine this version of City Commander will have the extra holes in trailer mode to put the launchers.

Randy

yeah, it should have the 'forearm flap' holes that powered commander had so these can sit up front in vehicle mode... and the notches in the boot pieces so they can peg in the back too... but anyone just getting the weapons set be forewarned... you'll only use these in robot mode, and they will sit in the back loosely while in trailer mode. its to bad the add on set didn't come with substitute forearm pieces ... so us early adopters could fully utilize these missiles.

nah I'm just kidding way to go Fansproject thanks for giving me more Ultra Magnus goodness

now where's my g3 trailer?

Make the weapons set in Shadow Commander colors and they'll get my money. Shadow Commander plus Botcon evil Optimus Prime is pretty cool. He could use more weapons, though.

Pre-ordered! Now I can return my G1 Magnus his rifle and missiles launchers.


Ditto on that. My Classics Prime is feeling neglected from all the love Magnus and Nemesis have been getting.


--SoS

Damnit. For about a year I've heard others gush about City Commander, and I've been getting more and more regretful that I didn't jump on him the first time around. Ultra Magnus always has been one of my favorite characters, after all.

Now they rerelease the thing, with more dakka, and I'm not hurting for cash. Preordered.

Very cool. The price is right, Ultra Magnus is armed to the teeth now, and each version of the armor now has a unique accessory instead of Ultra Magnus being left behind because of being the first version of the set.

Hopefully if the gun stores away in vehicle mode, it works with both the new run of City Commander and the original as well, since there were subtle changes made to the set for Shadow and Powered Commander. It's already great that they weren't greedy and thought to offer the new accessories by themselves, but it'd be nice if the people who supported the sets from the start didn't have to feel like they were missing out in any way by not buying the full new set. It's a small thing, but I'd hate to have to just sit the gun aside in vehicle mode with my original run of the toy if it could store away on the new version.

Yeah, screw Devastator. I'm getting this. Also october, so INTERNET CHRISTMAS IS COMPLETE.

I want this, but I soooo can't afford it.

--LBD "Nytetrayn"

Hoo-freakin'-YAY!!! I will be pre-ordering this guy tonight!!

Do want. I'll just have to wait until I pay rent and get my next paycheck on thursday, and these babes are mein.

It they do a re-release of Shadow Commander with a similar addition, I may have to bite.

Love it when situations prove my convictions to myself. I have City Commander round 1. Which has been stupidly expensive/valuable for a while. And yet I feel no anger at it being re-produced and those who didn't get it the first time around having a chance. Because it's freaking awesome.

I'll be getting the missiles. Everyone who is getting the whole shebang for the first time, enjoy. It really is a special figure.

I think I can best sum up my feelings as: woo! missiles!

C:

Each one contains a microscopic black hole, causing time to slow down drastically as the missile nears its target.

...or passes by a flock of birds.

I'll hold out for the nemesis recolor, but i do like.

Yes they offered the missiles seperate! Dreams can come true.

I have a buddy who thinks it's too expensive. I tried pointing out to him that the reissue is very literally more for his money and isn't likely to ever be on sale, but he's still on the fence.

I guess I'll have my pretty CC, and he'll just get to sit there and watch or something.

As I said on chat, I despise people who bitch about missing out on something, but don't put their money where their mouth is when another chance comes along.

*cough*Henkei Thundercracker*cough*

Hopefully we don't have people coming out of the woodwork a year from now going "gosh I'd sure like a City Commander, hope they reissue him!"

Cool. I broke a piece of the original, so I am getting the whole set. This is also great for anyone who missed out.

So who wants to buy this for me?!

Just kidding. Man I want this... BAD! DAMN YOU ECONOMY!!!

Missed out on the first release because I thought it was way too expensive for a Non-real product, and worries about QC.

I have regretted that since. Pre-order!!! Woot!

My only complaint is that I think the rifle modes should be reversed and the overall longer mode should be for the armor use. All the same, at this price I'm very happy to further outfit my City Commander. Just having a special gun that it can actually hold up will be great.

You know there will be, without a doubt.

Randy

Myself, I will just whine until the inevitable release of this accessory set in the color scheme I originally purchased.

This is awesome and it has been preordered.

or maybe he just thinks it's too expensive period. Opinions and decisions can change in hindsight, but maybe he just thinks $90 is too much for a toy. or that kind of toy. or this particular toy. whatever.

Also, while I can't make a guess as to how likely it is, it's possible that a reissue plus the bootlegs will devalue both the original and the reissue (and as a result, the maximum asking price for the bootleg) due to so much supply. and while there's no limit to how many bootlegs they can make, it's possible that the demand is high enough that there still won't be enough for everyone.
I think a lot of that depends on how the bootlegs are treated. If the greedy bootleggers keep trying to get as much for their product as the real thing, it'll be a long, drawn out process. While smart shoppers will be wary and not ready to drop the same amount of money on the bootleg, supply will never dry up, but it shouldn't effect the value of the real thing. If they drop their prices, depending on the amount, enough people might consider it as an alternative that a sturdy original might be worth sacrificing for. then again, those same people might be having to go buy the real thing after theirs breaks, so who knows... I'm still not sure I'd pay $90 each for a figure I wanted to repaint into Thunder Clash. It would probably be better.

Oh, I've thought of that, but I always notice that the people who complain a lot about how much stuff costs, always seem to have an awful lot of free internet time.

Anyway, I don't think the price will ever fall significantly below the original cost of the set. It may have ballooned a bit due to a supply shortage since a lot of people apparently didn't like Ultra Magnus enough or weren't around for the year or so it was initially on preorder, but I don't foresee people racing to unload them for $50 on eBay.

Is it sad that every time I look at City Commander it makes me love Skywarp even more? I really appreciate him for being in a two pack with Classic Ultra Magnus. I didn't like Ultra Magnus's blandness and lack of trailer, but Skywarp is one of my favorite Decepticons, so I had to have him. Man if it wasn't for Skywarp, I never would have had the pleasure to complete the City Commander. Thank you Skywarp, for sharing your box with an Autobot that I didn't have displayed for years, who has now become one of the highlights of my collection ...

Heh... ditto! Got my accessories ordered.

Some of those people have jobs that allow them to surf the net in their downtime. I know I do.

myself as well.

Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. I was willing drop $100 bucks for ML Soundwave because to me a good deluxe sized Classics looking Soundwave was well worth that. Same can be said for my Henkei Thundercracker. MY City Commander set was a Christmas gift. Now something like G1 Soundwave is not worth the price that HTS is asking right now. At least I don't thing a 26 year old toy that already has a good update and a bad one too.

And I work in a restaurant, so my hours can be either during the day, or in the evening. I'm just saying that some who sit on the boards and complain about toy costs might be lazy.

Yeah there is the guy that lives in his mom's basement, has no job and gripes about the BotCon 07 set even after all this time. I like the think that guy is the exception not the rule, at least at the Allspark anyway.

hhmmm I dunno, my City Commander is sporting UM G1's missles. So I'm pretty find with not owning this add on for the.... add on.

For ten bucks, it's one of the most affordable accessory sets out there.

Doesn't TFCon/DIA Powered Commander feel left behind now that he doesn't have a gun?


I like to believe that early adopters like us are the only reasons the rest of the fandom got to enjoy this. Like ipod nano 1st generation or how the popularity of the TFTM toys resulted in premiums.
