This is a happy day for me! By the time preorders show up, I'll have recovered from the last purchase I made. I've been wanting to buy these on ebay, but could'nt justify the price.
What should these retail for? I heard Sunstorm when released sold for $60 new and Megatron for $80. Will that hold true?

According to ehobby, about 10,000yen for both... So about 100 bucks right?

The news story has something a little backwords. Sunstorm was released well before Dreamwave used Sunstorm. He was an E-Hobby exclusive along with the "7th" Constructicon Hauler.
Both were made because they were popular screw ups from G1.
As for the news - Bomb!

I did some calculations according to the prices I saw on the E-Hobby pages. Black Megatron is about 6,000 yen which is roughly $60 and Sunstorm is 4,000 yen which is roughly about $40. After import fees and whatnot I suspect Sunstorm to be about $65 and Megatron to be in the $85 range. It would be more if they were only being bought in limited numbers, but BBTS and digital-toys usually order in bulk so they should sit around these prices when preorders finally show up.

I don't know why but I've always liked Sunstorm or the [i]idea[i] of Sunstorm. I wonder how quickly demand for Black Megs will die down once the online sites start posting the orange cap rules? It will be fun reading the posts about capping once again.

Excellent. Plan to snatch these up, though I need to get me an Omega Sentinel first. Don't want to have to pay far out the ass for it down the road :\
So these three dyslexic men walk into a bra... oh HAHAHA I am so funny

I answered your question a few posts back. Megatron is $60 not counting import fees. You're looking at about $80-90 bucks after imports.
