I'm really looking forward to this, I'm quite glad they're taking the time to get it right. Gives me a bit more time to save up the money!

Also the cool thing about this set is that it further differentiates this use of the mold from previous ones (CD Hot Shot and Botcon Springer).

Also I sent an email to pre-order this set but didn't get any confirmation back. Was this the same for everyone?

I put in a preorder in the second I saw it. I can't wait for the set, but at the same time I want to see it done right.

I never got a confirmation either (and I put my order in within the first couple of days), so I wrote them yesterday to check up on it...I received a very quick response saything that they had had some trouble with their auto-response system back then so a lot of people didn't get their confirmation...But they verified it for me and everything is good...(I'm #51

Wow, Nato sure did improve the quality of the gun since the first pictures.

I'm glad I got my preorder in on the first day we saw this thing.

I think it's awesome to see a nice little upgrade for a target-exlusive repaint most people would just pass over without giving much thought...The first thing I thought when I got it was "This is such a perfect mold for Roadbuster...EXCEPT for the face..." Then like two days later they announced the upgrade that not only gives you a new face but also some extra weapons to make him look even more badass

I seriously can't wait for this to come out and I'm SO glad I know for sure I'm getting one...

Damn, this blows! I really wanted the set, Roadbuster was one of my top 5 G1's, but I didn't get a chance to pre-order it. I've been trying to sort out some Paypal issues, and forgot all about it :-x

Hopefully I'll be able to catch one of them when the pre-orders are filled.

Glad I got my order in!

RB will look spiffing with this jobby attached.

Will the order A (face and rifle) be pushed back too d'ya think?

What was the price of the whole set again—the face mask and both weapons? Didn't see it listed on the webpage, probably because they aren't taking orders at the moment.

The full set is $28.99

I'd say that's a definate YES because they just updated today saying they've redesigned the new head to include not only the face-plate, but also the back of the head as well! This set just gets better and better the more we have to wait

Here's the image of the new head from their site:

FYI:
This next week will be your LAST CHANCE to get one our LIMITED PROTOTYPE versions of the NWS-02 RB PARTICLE CANNON being sold on E-bay.

At 5:30 pm California time, we are listing all of the remaining prototypes at a BUY-IT-NOW price of $21.99.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!!

The regular cannon sells for $17.99 so you pay only $4 extra for one of the limited 1 of 20 gray prototypes. We will not be re-listing any of these prototypes once the week’s listings are closed.
