I've been getting lots of questions from ebay members asking about soc's products. I think he's probably doing pretty good business now.

also, SOC has posted andrew's notice about the redfoot version on his blog, and has taken andrew's comments about packaging:

"Thanks to the great ideas from members of this blog, the next 4 variants will be released with new box art. The gold plated one will have a black base with gold letters and pictures. The transparent one will have a transparent black box. The fully metal one will have a complete gold colored box.

And finally, the exclusive spirit of optimus prime, will have a light blue box, just like the ghost starscream or crystal hotrod."
