right, do you mind to tell where is the best reliable deal for PO takara? i'm seeing rm430 and rm450, but ebay has as low as rm350 for po!
there are many hobby shops around town offered PO for this but i'm not sure if they still accept orders or not since the delivery date is end of July 2015 so they may have stop taking orders. you need to check.
just to name a few, 1TOY, vHobby, Famitoy etc. I've experienced buying before from 1TOY and vHobby and they are genuine. Another one is x2otoys, they are based on Perak and I'm in Selangor so i ordered stuff online from them. I purchased my MP10 them and all i can say is that they are good at what they are doing, price is also reasonable.

I like Alpha Bravo being part of the new reboot of the combiner series in IDW comics' Combiner Wars. In fact, I think while a lot of people try to mod their new CW to look like the old G1 toy or cartoon, I like the new versions and comic reboot. Planes or cars facing the front of the combined body, updated alt modes and even some new facelift in the robot mode... Really nice looking.
different schools of thought. some prefer old school and some don't mind the new alternatives. i for one, belongs to the old school and would prefer Slingshot rather than Alpha Bravo and lucky for me, Hasbro is releasing Quickslinger (aka Slingshot) which I will definitely grab. Alpha Bravo will be a stand alone figure cause he is cool like that 8)
many G1 purist hated the fact that Superion was released with Alpha Bravo but most of them actually enjoyed Alpha Bravo very much after actually purchasing him because of how good it was made. the irony is that how can a helicopter keep up with jets in terms of speed. it doesn't look good as a team and if you put logic into it, Alpha Bravo will also arrive late at the battle ground or the Aerialbots would pull off the Protectobots stunt, merge without First Aid.
but then again, there is no inherent logic in Transformers XD

RM350 is a good price for PO. You should go for it.

1Toy has said RM300++ but they still can't confirm the price. I expect no less than RM320. I expect the Takara version will go out quickly because this is what most people feel Superion should be.
I much prefer the new reboot version. In fact, I hope Malaysia will bring in the re-release versions of wave 1 with the comics! But I don't think that will happen.

x2otoys has updated their website, the price is confirmed at RM430.00 so if anyone still managed to secure RM350+ish, must take it without consideration.
yeap, the reboot version of Wave 1 is unlikely to happen in Malaysia but never say never. then again, no one would be in their right mind spent money to buy another set of Superion.
