She was just released. Go get her! (Devil on your shoulder)

I can vouch for this site by the way. Great prices and free shipping within the 48. They also tend to get new releases a week earlier or more compared to other sites I shop, even if their selection overall is smaller.
Ah! That's the one I've been waiting for! I had no idea it already came out. The other website I was looking at had it priced at around $100.

Its only been out about a week or so. But whoa, 100 bucks? That's crazy expensive for a brand new figure.

I've seen many figuarts hit that price (and much higher) second hand when official sources are out of stock, but $100 right off is really high.

I know the figure has been out in Japan for a bit longer than here. Were you possibly looking at an import?

Anyway, I haven't been able to find figuarts for cheaper anywhere, so this is a good bet.

All that disturbing/weird-ass box art and it ends up being a car? The hell?

Also, what's on that disc? I think I see a list of some kind. What is it, a soundtrack?

Keep in mind that this was an OFFICIALLY approved and supported collaboration. There was a toy-line, manga series and radio drama. I got this figure super cheap, but now I really want to collect the other crap too.

Nope, it's recordings of the radio drama series. They got several professional voice actors to do a radio show that worked alongside the manga's story. To get the complete series, you'll need to buy all of the toys from the main line.

Bonus! (Optimus getting some action)

I remember finding that stuff a few years ago and forwarding it on to a friend who is into Transformers to horrify him (some can be found online.

Where did you find it? He has a birthday next month, and I need to top the hand-crafted Bubsy 3D Collector's Edition I made him last year >_>;

Found it just laying around at Traders Village in Houston (The seller said I bought his "attention grabber"). I have no idea how I'm going to manage getting the other figures. They are SO freaking expensive online.
