e-Hobby has just released two of their popular G1 exclusives: Sunstorm & Megatron Black version. Both of these figures were originally issued several years ago. So if you missed out on them the first time around, here is your chance to snag them. The figures are packaged in their original e-Hobby exclusive boxes. But unlike the originals, each figure comes with a mini comic featuring that character. Expect online retailers to receive their shipments soon.

The comics are a nice touch. Translation please, stat.

The little manga are a nice bonus - I look forward to getting my Sunstorm.

I need that Megatron!
Sunstorm can go and burn in the sun if he wants but Megatron must be mine!

But seriously those comics are very nice touch and they look awesome - both of em.

The colors are awesome and much nicer than I expected, and the red bullets are devilish. I wish I had ordered two.

I may have to pick up another Sunstorm (I got one on the original release).

But I'm definately getting Megatron.

Bit of a pooper they aren't releaseing Black Starscream or a G1 Acid Storm, though.

Wow...I love that Sunstorm !!! I wish I had credit so I could order him...but its all good.

Speaking of Sunstorm...

Does anyone know when the Target exclusives Animated Sunstorm will be available in stores or is it only available through mail order ???

I think this might be Megatron's first Black Body.

I wonder if the manga stories take place within the G1 cartoon continuity, or if they're a whole new thing like the Henkei! Henkei! mangas were.

I might have to get Black Megatron...if only to match my cute little Choro Q Black Megatron.

Sweet! BBTS Sunstorm shipping soon!

Can't wait to get this guy--been wanting him for YEARS.

I was really hoping that these would come in the encore packaging like the past few e-hobby g1 releases..

I've never much cared for the original "overly excited" Megatron...Nor Sunstorm...But yeah, those comics are pretty nifty

.
I really wanted to get Megs but I'm a MISB Collector and BigBadToyStore claims that their Megatrons will be opened and have a significant sized Orange plug added which will involve cutting the plastic bubble to fit.... No Workie 4 Me

It'll probably be a similar case for other retailers as well. So your choices may be narrowed down to purchasing a Black Megs w/ an orange plug, or not purchasing him at all.

Yeah... I've already decided against purchasing Megs. I cancelled my pre-order. I guess just cause I want every Transformer in the world doesn't mean I have to have them all

It's ok though, I'm getting 2 MP Grimlocks so I can open one and the money will go towards that.

.

What is taking BBTS so long to get these?! I get excited when this thread comes up and it takes BBTS this long to get the product not to mention process and ship them. It's irritating!

Okay I don't know what's going on with BBTS but if they don't hurry up and at least get my Sunstorm in I may reorder with Robot Kingdom

Has anyone had any experience with RK? Good or Bad? I know Sunstorm's $10 cheaper on Robot Kingdom and they already have these in stock. I don't know what's going on with BBTS but it's just retarded. It's been a week since these were released. Am I just being too anxious?

I bet BBTS gets theirs real soon. In my experience over the years with BBTS, they typically get their more popular items listed as "in stock" on the last Monday of each month. I dunno if thats done on purpose or just a fluke. They probably have theirs in and are just sorting out Collectors Grade, Standard, & Sub-standard right now. I'm willing to bet Sunstorm will be instock between now and Monday evening.

.

Ha! I win my bet.... even though there was no bet LOL!. Sunstorm and Black Megs. are now in stock at BBTS

.

I got my e-mail today saying that my Sunstorm is processing. Hopefully he'll show up next week.

That Black MEgatron, that's not MegaPLEX, right? That's the only eHobby Megatron I'm aware of. I want to order this, but money's a little tight right now, and I don't want to order another Megaplex. Any help?

Yes it is Megatron in his Black Body, not Megaplex, who was dark gray.

Alright. I've got Megaplex, but I've never opened him so I'm not exactly sure what he looks like.
