I've heard one in the last few days as a filler in w5 along with something else which I've forgotten.... bear with.
EDIT: a quick search said Sandstorm. Then said both Selects. Then said Target 4 pack. Then said that was different! So there's a few versions of a rumour doing the rounds!

Balls. No spare pennies and payday is the 25th. I doubt it will sit round for 3 days! Oh well.

Oh, I dunno - it's listed at $53, which means it'll come out at... Probably about £55 here. And that's a little steep for a Deluxe and a wee cassette boy, in my book. Which also tells me I'm going to buy it because I'm an idiot and hypocrite. But even so...

Yeah. I am interested in this despite not having any of the BW Kingdom figures, but knowing it'll be £50+ has me thinking twice. It's easy to overlook the original Ravage when you already have one, which makes this a very expensive deluxe.

I'm a bit peeved Ravage is limited to one. I mean it makes sense to shut out the scalpers, but it still peeves me.
I have a friend who grew up on and absolutely loves Beast Wars, but didn't have any back in the day, and is a disabled single mother and can't buy any now.
So I've been trying (successfully, so far) to buy her all the show characters in Kingdom. Except for Rattrap, Rhinox, and Waspinator whom I bought her during T30.
Ravage is one I guess I'm gonna have to let go and hope I was right a few months ago that he'll get an individual release (with the exclusivity of this one being the package and bundled with G1 Ravage).
Not bad though that this is the first one I'll be unable to snag, even with the BS surrounding Terrorsaur.

It's way cheaper than Metals Jaguar.

I still think that the demand for this guy would more than justify the effort and money Hasbro would spend in recreating the mold for the vintage line.

Oh yeah, and then some.
This isn't a "has become rare" toy, it was like hen's teeth in the day.
REALLY regret selling mine.
I know Toy-Fu have been trying and failing to get one (some) for TFNs for sometime. I think they go a tailless weaponless one a few years back but complete.... Uh-Uh!

I have botcon tigatron (thanks to a friend in the Club days), aand with the new Ravage, I'm good for both the mold and the character. But Icd still jump at the chance for the original.
My friend finally aquired one this year. He was over the moon.
Two weeks later the pulsecon Ravage was leaked.
He texted me "You're welcome." This always happens to him.
I'm waiting for him to get Killer Punch so Hasbro can announce a new one or a reissue.

But BW Ravage turned into a cassette tape in the cartoon.  Martin |

I get why G1 Ravage is the pack in. But I honestly wish he came with a retool of Siege Rumble retooled into BW Ravage, instead.

Well, £48.99 isn't as bad as I was fearing... but not much better either. Definitely going to have to have a ponder on this one - that's a bit much, for sure.

£50 for an exclusive in a cool box though? Better than Botcon prices if nothing else!

£50 for an exclusive in a cool box though? Better than Botcon prices if nothing else! Not by much. Being lucky enough to have the original will be affecting my opinion, but this one just doesnt seem worth it. Likewise if I didn't have (multiple) G1 Ravages that would be accounting for £10-15 of the value making the price seem... okay. I mean the head and chest look bang on the cartoon. Really really nice, but those tiny little feet. And Im not that big a fan of the Kingdom Cheetor mould. |

Finally managed to pick mine up from the DPD drop off point. Haven't had a chance to break him out yet, but he looks the part and the backdrop looks great.
The packaging strikes me as more high-end retail than collector-targeted, and I think at this price something more reusable for storage and fancy would have been nice. I like the look of those golden disk boxes coming next year (which thematically would have been a nice fit for Ravage!).

What's the Best Wars Ravage I've got then?
He's Transmetally, gold bits, very pointy. Good figure.
