Now why would I ask for a G1 re-issue if this was a G1 release?
That is the voyager Classics Inferno mold shadowed in the pic (with some new stuff).

All you guys need to just wait BBTS out for about 6 months. Those will come down in price DRASTICALLY, like they always do. BBTS has 317 of them STILL IN STOCK!!! On the Stepper!!! they keep raping people on those imports. They need to learn a lesson in greed. When people stop paying their insanely jacked up prices and then wait them out til they reduce them. Its great, Ive done it with many exclusives from there in the past. And Im waiting patiently for Stepper to drop now,lol.

Same here. Can't wait. Hopefully we'll get a G1 reissue now and life will be good.

With all of Inferno's weapons, not just Fracas.

That would be awesome. Stepper was one of the most under appreciated reissues in my opinion. The reissue is better than the original by far.

Hasbro doesn't sell Transformers in Japan. TakaraTomy does.

Agreed. I am extremely pleased with the paint applications on him.

Currently they have honored the $139.99 at BBTS for those who pre-ordered before the listing changed to $149.99. I hope they do indeed honor it.

They will honor the preorder price if you placed one earlier. They have done that on items before and will always honor that price you originally placed it on. I think they may be playing this one safer since Stepper never sold out like they probably thought it would. Right now, the stock they have for Artfire is at 32. But this morning it was at 120+.

DecepticonFinishline wrote:So... Wait... I don't understand. Is this Hasbro or Takara? And what about Stepper?
Both United Stepper and the upcoming Artfire are mail-order items from Transformers Generations toy guide books by Million Publishing. They have nothing to do with Hasbro or the Generations line.

So like Henkei Thundercracker and Skywarp?
Cool, I hope fan2fan does pre-orders for this guy.

I used to use Fan2Fan a lot but after they switched their Paypal prices to yen, I don't find their prices and shipping (combined) much of a bargain.
