Too bad we can't set up a Cybertron.ca group buy and buy directly from FP on stuff like this. I don't mind buying from places like TFSource but it'd be way cheaper if we just bought directly have FP and we'd probably have the numbers to do so.

lol.... Prime/UM gift pack is still flooded in China. and they are pretty cheap... I see a business opportunity here hehehehe.... joking, TF market is so unstable, who knows which product will be short next

I'd be up for that, especially for the Protector Rodimus upgrade set.

But given TFCON's soured relationship with FansProject because of TFX-01R and the fact that a lot of TFCON staffers run cybertron.ca I wonder if there would be some dissuasion from the powers that be?

Anyone partake in the Aerial Team Appendage upgrade set group buy? How'd that go?

Meh. I could care less about chrome.

They might be re-realeasing it to generate more profit for their upcoming more involved products (Protector, Collector, the Springer-bot etc)

Cheers!

Is there an echo in here?

I think Fansproject is gay if they re-release the City Commander. Well, not only they reuse the mold several times, and they raise the price alot each single time they reuse the mold. If you remember the prices for City Commander, then Shadow Commander and then Powered Commander. Sometimes I really think their products are too over priced. Anyways, still good for the people who don't have a City Commander yet.

Why so much hate for FP?

There are many factors in play to cause the high price: shipping, labor, resource price, retailers.... FP will never be able to match the price per unit with Hasbro. They will always be "over priced."

Be thankful that they are making these great add-ons for us.

So you think FansProject is homosexual because they are behaving like a business. Interesting.

I would be very interested in this as I totally missed the original release. And I love chrome. Me excited.

Meh on the chrome, but nice that they're re-releasing it. Methinks the original production run was too small.

I never say they are homosexual to have a business. I said they are happy to release City Commander. I think you are more interesting.
