And lastly, Encore Meister (G1 Jazz reissue) is out too.

Everything the original toy had as stickers is now tampographed. And the face is the "fixed" one originally used for the Stepper/Ricochet reissue.

Very good, hopefully my pre-ordered Starscream from BBTS will ship soon then. Does anyone know how long it usually takes BBTS to get the stuff in stock and shipped out once they are released? This is my first pre-order from them.

It depends on how many people preordered before you. They always honor their preorder, but if a lot of people have preordered it may take a while.

SkyGlide looks cool - like the Powerglide homage.

Alas, he's already going for 20quid ($40) on eBay! Madness!

Hopefully he'll be elsewhere at more sensible prices...

Yeah I am gonna have to pick those up from BBTS to. I never liked the classics megatrons colors, so this one is perfect, and I am going to have to pick up that BB, SS, and OP. I got the Ultra Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack here when it came out, and I also got grimlock to. That Megs is looking great.

Well as someone who this week has applied stickers to 2 Jazzs and a Stepper the Tampo'd graphics are certainly a good idea-the rear arch stickers are an absolute 'mare to get right

I really like the crome on all of the toys, and I really like the job they did on the megatron

Sad part is, that manga (As cheesy as it was) was better then the crap comics we got in Armada/Energon toys...
