Preordered!!! It's stuff like this that keeps me active in collecting TFs and in this community. I can't wait to have a real RB to add to my collection.

That looks good.
But I need a Roadbuster first.

Pre-ordered the RB upgrade and the Ax. Amazing what a few extra details can do for a figure. Clever the way they've attached the new face plate.

I was gonna say, "Ugh, not another upgrade." But I'm gonna get this. That Hot Shot/Roadbuster mold is badass and this set actually looks really cool. That Ani-Prime ax kinda looks good too...

It's a nice set, but now that I see it I think it will end up being a pass for me.
