I've got a KO Reflector (unfortunately in a plain white box and not a "G1" box), and it's actually pretty good quality.

Alright, who on this board bought my KO reflector? lol, good deal, guess the early bird Transfan gets the Decepticon =p

timcrook said Hasbro didn't get his money (cuz he spent it on the KO Reflector)

So Captured Prey has preorders for Quickslinger and Brakeneck already... only problem is shipping is $19.90 USD just for one deluxe. Have they mentioned which stores will be getting these, or is it pretty much any small online retailer? I might break my 'no A3U preorders' rule for this unless someone wants to split an order somewhere else. I'm only interested in Quickslinger as I'm skipping out on Menasor.

There seems to be some debate on where these will be sold. Originally they were spotted on a TRU inventory system (allegedly) but recently there's been some indication that they are limited to specific online retailers only. I don't think Hasbro has chimed in confirming either way.

Actually, I saw proof of the TRU listing myself, back in late January. So it seems they were at some point going to be exclusive to TRU or something. The internal computer listing also had their original names too.

I wonder if anything changed since then? There's someone on this board that says they have a reliable source explicitly stating that they'll only be available through select specialty retailers, but not through mass market.

Just got the email from HLJ saying they're getting a reissue in August for Arcee/Chromia and that they will honour my order with them since I kept it with them.

Awesome news! That's great for those who missed out and even better for those who kept their old orders.
