No because then FansProject would be limited to, and subject to, the same budget restraints and demands of mass market retail which overwhelmingly sees kids as the target audience. The last thing anyone wants is FansProject to go kiddified, even for it meant a cheaper price.
I think paying the price so that us older collectors can get our fix by FansProject is worth it. If the mass market retailers were different I would have hope but they tend to favor stuff like Power Core Combiners and gimmicks over detail and Classics.

where is the pre-order at?

What the fuck, a TARGETMASTER?! Excellent!
Radioactive Ravage
So can anyone who was there give a proper height estimation? Is he about Classics Prime's height?
Slimaximus

I so need this set. I'm glad I bought the Classics Rodimus. If I could only find a Classics Ultra Magnus for a reasonable price .

Dude said the customer should have it by X-mas.

Would have been nice to see the Targetmaster and spoiler/fin extension more. The guy just flashed the fin real fast. I didn't even see the TM in the video.

Did they say it will be x-mas release? Having a hard time hearing the commentary with my kid screaming in the background.
Cheem The Rup

I really can't see them doing SG Roddy colored armor. I figure if they were going to aim at that niche market they'd have done it already with the Commander armor for SG Prime. Same goes for Henkei Wild Rider… just don't see it happening. Those two Roddy repaints simply weren't widely available to enough people to probably make it worth FanProjects time.

I hope so. That was the only reason I dropped the dough on a Shattered Glass Rodimus!
I also hope they release an armor for the upcoming Transformers Collector's Club Sideburn figure, which is said to be a repaint of Classics Rodimus.
Shatterpoint
I wonder if the protecter armor will be painted in shattered glass colors .

If FansProject ever made their own line of Mecha-style robots, I would consider buying one.
