what does this mean?

1. it could be a limited production run like the old days. (1000, 1500, or 2000 pieces only)
2. it could be a marketing thing to freak people into preordering
3. it could be a marketing thing to freak vendors into preordering
4. they are truly at capacity and sold out.

This may be the only ehobby I get.

If it is that limited, buy two. You can cash in on the double in a few months.

remember, Twincast isn't some made up e-Hobby figure, he's a legit G1 reissue.

Think about it though. Buy two. Wait a few months, sell off the double, make enough to cover the expense of the one you keep and then some.

It's what I've been doing with TFC's. After seeing the skyrocketing price of the e-hobby mini-bots, jets, and others...I think I'll start doing the same with select e-hobby releases.

Might as well start making some dough off TF's to offset the cost of my collection.

I can get the figure below for $20, what do you guys think? This was last seen in 2004 at Wal-Mart.

Over the years, G1's Bruticus has made it to an ass load of different lines. (Victory, Car Robots, RID, Armada, Universe)

I'll keep an eye out, it was one of those things I ran into at another board. :hs:

The RID white camo is my favorite out of the bunch.

Yeah, that's why I still will probably get it. I wish they just made it a TFC though.

Bruticus is a really solid combiner...not like Devastator or Superion. I rank Bruticus and Defensor as the best combiners. Menasor is also quite solid.
