I need it one day in my collection. There's an oversupply of him over at HLJ. When or if it goes on sale I will buy it!

Thank You!

They are a retail store. The store is owned by Part One who also does work for TakaraTomy such as design work (for packaging). I know they at least did the packaging for some Henkei releases.
eHobby was the biggest distributors of TakaraTomy exclusives (that title now goes to TakaraTomy Mall). They produced a majority of the G1 reissue exclusives that came out over 10 years ago (Diaclone, Microchange, and new decos).
They are not a fan club. But do produce exclusives like the Fun Pub fan club did.

Randy, what exactly is e-HOBBY? are they a fan club type deal?
Thundershot
Chosen Prime FINALLY got him in!
Of course, at this point I might as well wait until the Diaclone DA-10 and the DK-04 Fort Max leg kit to hit at the end of the month to ship everything.

I'm still going to think of him as Tobias "I blue myself" Funke
Knightsword
Opps looks like I read a bad translation, see the wiki link above.
Bob Schoonover
So he's just Tobias from Arrested Development?
Knightsword
In the Legends Comic, that is just Convoy, after he painted himself blue, cause he was jealous or something.

The bad thing about these comics is that I can't figure out what's going on. I tried reading left to right, right to left, it still makes no sense
But yeah, it looks like Magna stole Delta's trailer. I think.
