yeah, $200.00 is too much, i'd much rather have to wait a month or so and only pay $20 for my alternator

A *month*? WAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!

 

I wish.

That's what I was thinking. more like 6 to 8 months.

Altys? Protos? Where do they come from? Well, you see, when a optimus and an arcee...........LOL....back to seriousness.

 

People have hook-ups from Japan, and that's were they get them. Personally, I don't really care for them, and I sure as heck ain't paying $200 for one.

 

 

Now about realese dates? I'd say it goes a little something like this.

 

 

Dead-End: August

 

Tracks: September-October

 

Miester/Jazz: November-december.....possibly eraly early january.

 

Grimlock: January-february.

 

Just my take on realese dates, feel free to criticize.

Prototypes are usually 100% profit, if there is no bribe involved. I wonder what you guys would do if you had a connection. Would you keep it or sell it?

There are sellers on ebay that apparently have connections at the Takara plants in china where they develop the toys.

Negative. Takara test shots hardly ever leave the factory.

 

All those "prototypes" you see on eBay are usually from Hasbro's factories.

 

That's why we had a blue Tracks, but no Smokescreen GT proto.

 

As for release dates, I'm listing them on my site. Click the link below.

But 10 years from now I can't imagine searching Ebay for a proto Bt Grimlock when I can get the finished one.

 

Maybe, but how many people would fight (and pay silly money) over a G1 prototype of the Diaclone line "Car Robot" right now if it showed up e-bay...

Tony, I like your current signature. It's sad and funny at the time. I think he missed his plane to Baltimore too. He, Silverstreak and Hound.

actually it's been stated on the hasbro website that Meister will be released in Sept, and i've read somewhere that the HS2G will be released in nov, which makes Grim and Swindle oct releases. But i think grim and Swindle will be released in nov-dec, and the HS2G in Jan-Feb along with the more than next likely remold of Tracks.

silverstreak managed to smuggle himself over here in the back of the lorry but sideswipe and the others were all disapointed as hasbro was too stingy to give them tickets to the uk as well

i hope the remold of tracks will be wheeljack, not a decepticon for that remold

Wheeljack really diserves his own mold..........
