I got a Blue then Orange and Lime. The Lime is still unsolved and is a complete mystery. I'm looking forward to trying to get a black obsession.

Again, I'm a little disappointed to see more Titaniums out there; not because I don't want people to get them, but because we were explicitly told that these would only be sold as part of the CE set. I even paid a nice chunk of change to grab the one from the History Collection thinking it was the only way to get a non-CE TiX. I'd like the price difference please :?

I hate exclusives. I think they drive the price up somewhat artificially. I know some people don't agree but those are just my feelings. I will be disappointed, but not entirely surprised if I see "Extra" Ceres/Makemake R2's available in a few years...

I think the TI exclusivity thing went out the window when they sold them on the housecleaning sale/auction.

I hope they re-think the release of the titanium revos. I am still waiting for my CE set and the titanium revomaze was the only thing that made it exclusive to get it..

As someone that was too late to get one, I have to say im happy there will be some more for those of us that missed out. I can also see how it would leave a bitter taste in the mouths of others though...

I do find it a little strange that some 'spare parts' have appeared from the old engineers all of a sudden. Surely if that was the case they would have just been made up an sold off a long time ago :?

And there is the other side of the problem when something is claimed to be exclusive but ends up being less exclusive than advertised. People make decisions based on what ends up being false "official" information and it ends up costing them more.

We were also surprised by the amount of stock on the old Engineers shelves - we were contacted and told there was stock that was ours and that they could do nothing with, but it wasn't until a manual count was made that we became aware of the extent.

The Titanium's will be sold as they always have been - To those who already have Blue, Green, Bronze, Silver and Gold only.

It is only fair to those who purchased the CE Set.
