Fortunately my wallet is safe from this purchase. I am sure we will see them on ebay soon.

Ordered mine through the local importer as soon as I heard.

Magnificent!
Curious, how do you feel about this re-re? You did all of the hard work to recreate the legend, and now any idiot with a credit card (me, for example) can have one.
On a serious note, from what you can see in the photos, how accurate is the re-re?

Preordered through tower, thanks for that! Don't forget to use the code "hobby" to save $55 (or $75 if you are a super saver member). It's actually best to become a super saver member for $10 to get the $20 more off, netting you another $10 savings plus future perks
