    Can the PS4 transform into a giant robot? I THINK NOT!

    I got one yesterday (which makes my fourth Herc-bot set) and it seems as nice as the others. I love the box set with cut outs. They absolutely should do this for all of their projects. It looks great.

    Does anyone know if this guy is now permanently $400 (seems it says clearance) at BBTS or will the price go back up after the sale?

    Also what was BBTS numbers before the sale? I see they have 49 still.

    Just trying to gauge how 'urgent' I need this. The longer the better with Christmas coming around the corner.

    Thanks in advance

    Back in mid-October when they did another clearance sale, they had 72 of them and it's been $400 since they lowered it back then.

    When I was checking stock regularly on him back in June/July, BBTS had around 115. Looks like they sold a decent amount since then, considering this is a ~$400+ item. It did go from $449 back to $499 for a while, so who knows how "permanent" this $399 price is.

    Just gotta decide if $399 is good enough of a sweet spot for you.

    Thanks for the info guys.

    I decided that I really like to have Perceus and the $399 price tag is awesome but it's just the wrong timing and once you factor postage costs (which is over $80 to Aus) on top, I can't justify it right now. :( 

    Hopefully I can get a set for fairly cheap after the New Year...

    Broke down and ordered this guy today. Ever since I saw one in person in September I had to have it. Plus $399 is an amazing price and most likely not going any lower. BBTS stock is down to 47 now!

    I don't own any of the mold, but if it stays at this price and is still available after tax time, I'll bite. If not, no biggie.

    Kind of how I feel, don't ha r the available cash right now, but always wanted perseus over herc. If it's around later cool if not cool to. The only Devestator I would want is giant or another offering from a diff company.

    I only got this one because my classics Devastator is Green Giant. I can justify the expense since it's a different mold

    And a different character. :)  So you're good to go. I have Perseus and Green Giant and am glad of it... I feel like they don't overlap or negate each other at all.

    Yeah I'm so excited for it. I think I'm going to leave off the Rage set to further differentiate them

    Just snagged one of these from BBTS for the $399 price. I couldn't let it get away. The color scheme is really amazing and plus the rum and coke really made the decision for me. Honestly though, I have always wanted the Herc set but I love box sets and combiners. This is the best of both worlds to me. Still would like to see a review on Youtube for this guy.

    Just got this set in the mail today and all I can say is wow. I'm a huge Maketoys whore and have been anti Hercules thus anti TFC for quite some time (mainly because of the color green). I saw this at a buddies house and had to have it. Now having it in hand I can honestly say these molds are really fun to transform, plus the shattered glass colors are the shit. I still dig the overall aesthetics of Giant more, but Perseus/Herc wins in playability department. So glad I ordered this set and $400 is a steal especially with the packaging
