Where are the Pre-orders at though?

 

$109 for the upgrade? OUCH I was hoping in lines of Fansproject prices. Also what or who is that new figure in the group shot?

at first glance he kinda reminded me of the insecticon venom, but upon closer inspection i would have to say definatively that.........i don't know

 

gotta say though, loving the maketoy stuff, though it is a bit overpriced

what worries me though is if the Trailer is $109, are we looking at $500 for their Devy? That'll only be 100 less than TFC. I hope we know who that mystery figure is soon.

 

 

Yeah not sure if the G2 Trailer is worth that much money, might still get it though.

Not sure about $136 for 2 Constructions or $410 for the giftset

I didn't see the price for the Not-Constructicons. Where was it posted at?

Apex/Nova/Sentinel Prime?

damn...i was hoping there devastator set wouldnt be that expensive...stiff better than TFCLUBs i guess..

i read else where Giant is going to be G2 yellow....

 

i don't like it as much as i do Herc.

wow... they just totally axed any plans I had for getting their devy. I was thinking 200$ MAX for the guy, but at this rate your better off getting hercules. Sure its not in scale with the other FP combiners, but its more accurate, more articulated, more feature filled, and all around a better bang for the buck.

 

Besides think of it this way, devastator was basically a prototype of the other combiners, and was made during a time when there was plenty of energon to go around. By the time superion and bruticus were made, things had to be cut, and the combiners were made smaller to conserve precious energy.

 

As for tank... ill get him, but its defiantly not a price I agree with. If FP made this same set it would initially retail for $80 and then $100 for the second restock and TBH the FP version would be more reliable. Although MT might surprise us and use as good of a plastic as TFC is on Hercules.

 

 

Anyways, there is always the hope that FP will somehow work some magic into the energon devastator mold. But TBH I would prefer if the rumors about them making a menasor and computron were real.
