$40-50 seems very reasonable.

Not sure how anyone could think this looks cooler (and more worth the money) than City/Shadow Comander...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing some coloured pics.

I think the copter is a legends-class figure (Whirl?).
I just don't know. I'm waiting for color pics, but does this mean that Fansproject WON'T be doing a trailer? After City Commander, I'd be more willing to endorse/purchase one of THEIR customs. This one doesn't look bad...it's just not necessarily what I pictured for the Classics Prime trailer.

Not surprisingly, BBTS is offering it for $10 more.

And with $21 Airmail or $31 EMS shipping versus $8 UPS from BBTS.
While I admit, BBTS is generally more expensive some stuff -- you have to factor in shipping costs.

It seems that way. Venksta (who I believe works with Fansproject doing their artwork I think - could be wrong) has pointed out that Fansproject haven't mentioned their trailer in ages, and have instead announced other projects. So it doesn't seem likely that it is in the works.

It's cheaper than City Commander. It's about what I'd pay for it. Any more and it wouldn't be worth it.

Good point, I hadn't thought about the high shipping cost from Robotkingdom. While I don't use UPS (I work for them in Canada, I know what they do to customers - I don't feel like paying ridiculous customs fees, thank you), BBTS offers very reasonable shipping, and the Pile of Loot is well worth it.

My problem with RobotKindom's preorder is that it sounds like if you place the preorder now, you pay now. I have a problem with this: I never have this kind of money at this time of the month. If they were willing to let me put a certain amount down and pay what what I owe after that when the product is available (the way I've been able to do with a couple Pokemon games and at least one of the last 3 Potter books), I'd be fine with preordering now. As it stands now...if I wanna preorder this trailer I'd personally be better off doing it with BBTS.
