Any yet it sold out. Maybe this set is more for the North American audience? It is weird to hear that it isn't popular in China because Asia loves FP so much they (and MT) are the only 3P companies to have KO's made of their products.

This set is going to be very much like Steelcore and Code. They will gain popularity AFTER everyone gets one and are long sold out. Heck if there is more retro future to come then the desire for this set will grow ten fold.

Why you do that?

This line is definitely more catered towards nostalgia for G1 fans. I'm not sure how prevalent TF's or Diaclone were in China back in the 80's?

I can tell you back in 80's, most part of China doesn't even have transformer shows or toys. Only in south part of China has some influence, because next to Hongkong, those regions could receive the HongKong TV signals.

I think G1 TF show was released in China in early 90 something.

Re: Fansproject 2nd Run for Glacialbots

maybe they sold out fast because they where such a limited run for them. Sales world wide did go relatively quick dating back to TFCon 2013. Completionists would be on board to finish the combiner. Since sales run for the first editions sold out quickly they stated a secondary run was an option.
Maybe it is the lack of articulation that doesn't appeal to the Asian markets but the nostalgia does. I am curious as to where the rest of the Korean releases are since they had to use them instead of the regular Megazero. How long has these been on the Korean markets for?

Just a rumor, but I hear they were there since 1988.

Now that is totally retro that we are getting a full on 80s Megazero. Cool

Re: Fansproject 2nd Run for Glacialbots

Isn't the lack of reviews from China due to the fact that the only way to get the Glacialbots was through FPcore?

I really don't think that's the cause. I searched on AC, it comes up with only 2 topics related to this set.
First one is a partial review on the set.

The 2nd one is someone asked why nobody cares about Glacialbots.
http://bbs.actoys.net/read.php?tid-1720714-page-3.html

And most of the reply says something like "who cares about this non-G1, zombie like, non-transformers robot...."

The best reply I think is this one:
"如同卖唐伯虎字画内容是同一个世界同一个梦想一样,没人会买吧 "

I can translate it to this:

"Just like in an auction, nobody will bid for Leonardo da Vinci's transformers painting, right? "
