The mods might need to move this thread since it may not be best suited here. I am gauging interest for the board to offer Fansproject items for a special discount for RJ board members. I need at least 8 people to make the group buy happen, 11 would make it easier on me though. The price would be $41 for board members plus actual shipping charges. The only catch is this would be a no cancel order if the group buy takes place. So you would need to be sure you had the funds or wanted it before sending payment. Shipping would be via USPS priority mail and insured. If this group buy is to happen I need people locked in and ready to pay by the end of the week (July 10). Items will not ship out till the 2nd half of July. For those who have not seen it here is a picture of the kit. Note: Superion is sold separately.

Thanks, now we need to add 7 more and I can make this happen for you guys. I might be able to do other ones in the future if this works out as well.
At the end of the month they start orders on their G3 trailer.

It will be done with my Business paypal account. I will not take any money until we have enough people for sure. I will take payment for the item, then I will take payment for shipping once the item arrives. I will not be able to give an accurate shipping until I have the item dimensions and weight in hand, though I may be able to sort that out sooner.
EDIT: I contacted them about package dimensions and weight so I may be able to sort out shipping before hand. I will not have the new store live before these come in so I will have to handle them via email.
I hope to have the new store live in the very near future though.

Sounds good, I hope we can pull together another six people!
This is cheaper than BBTS and supports a fellow board member, what's not to love?

Sorry to come in this order... Today, RobotKingdom.com has ROTF Superion in stock. robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=details&CatType=&II=FMV2US&lang=usI know that the energon version got a different scheme color. Universe version is the same as the ROTF version. Someone knows if there is a japanese version with better plastic quality ? I know that ROTF toys is a Hasbro exclusive... I am just asking because I ordered a Henkei Optimus & Rodimus to get better plastic (I have the Hasbro versions) and paint scheme to honor fansproject works... My tf con Commander rocks with Henkei chrome !

Is there a japanese version of this figure? I had not seen one. Even the one I bought in Asia was the Universe hasbro version.

There was a Japanese boxed Energon set version. I'll take a look and see if I have a reference photo to share.

Today, RobotKingdom.com has ROTF Superion in stock. Not recommended for North American buyers, shipping via small packet is another $28.90! Shipping from HK is always such a rip off when I can ship from Japan for almost the same as shipping within the US. Anywho... 1)admin1 2)Cyrano 3)Emerje 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Put me down for 1 for now, but if it looks like you need just one more for the deal to work (have seven and need an eighth) then I'll take two. I really want this set and wouldn't mind a second for the Energon version. Come on, folks, let's make this worth coldiron's effort! Emerje

Thanks for the support. I am going to extend the time to gather people for the group buy. Maybe if we can find enough people by next week we can still make it happen.

Count me in if I can score one of the Superion at a local target, but only if there are any left at the store, the online site said available. I'll go there tomorrow since it's close to my work place.
Definately count me in with this one since I was able to get one of these Superion at TARGET today. The set by itself just doesn't look good without the kit. BTW, where can I get the kit if we couldn't get the group buying thing to work?

They're asking more than Coldiron is though, even before you take into account that BBTS's shipping costs are a little marked up too. So... 1)admin1 2)Cyrano 3)Emerje 4)southpawdragon 5)supergetterv 6) 7) 8) ?

Looks like we are making progress guys. I am the X factor in this. I will be purchasing #9 for myself. That is the reason I did not put my name on the list, in case any were wondering.
If we can make this happen, I will see about starting earlier group buys so its not as last minute. I do not think this figure will sell out super faster though. Not as quickly as Powered Commanders.

So Cold Iron, are you extending this groupbuy? Doesn't look like we will meet quota by today.
