I cancelled the BBTS pre-order. These are going much cheaper from ebay or chimungmung. I got my one for $83 shipped. It is a most excellent figure and I highly recommend it. The articulation is spot on in every way, the sculpt is clean, the accessories are detailed and a lot. The balance is good even without the stand but with the stand the feet magnets allow for amazing poses. check it out..

BBTS Preorder with new pics! I'm a little tempted to buy it but I'm not ready to drop $119.99 on it.

Not sure if that's the "final" price on Nightbird. I still wouldn't buy it, either way..

In the end I decided to pass on it. Looks good by all means, but too pricey for a non-transformer… and those PE Arcees' are too tempting – I just had to choose. But as mentioned above – I'd really like to hear more about Firestar and girls.

It is the same person making this…… I'd like to see more on the prototype for MGT-02 Firestar we saw a long time ago. =)

I bought iGear's Arcee when she was available a few years back & I've heard that the same French guy is behind this Nightbird too. Sure she's bloody expensive but if you can afford it (their Arcee is one brilliant Classics-verse figure), I'd definitely consider this Nightbird as well.

I have had it preordered….. I know it doesn't transform, but I have been REALLY happy with the quality of the "Delicate Warrior" Arcee figure. This is by far the best version IMHO to have a Nightbird figure, and if I am to have a Nightbird figure, I want one that I am going to be happy with.

hahah, am i the only one who preordered it?!?!?! not happy at all about the price but still interested in the piece. i think the proto pictures showed it with some diecast parts so yeah, i paid $70 more than what you guys think is a fair price to get some chunks of metal, hahahah
i have the tfcon nightbird and the impossible toy one, i think i just like really obscure references and it's kind of cool a robot from one episode has had 3 incarnations so far.

I could not have said it better.
