    Not gonna lie - I'm waiting on buying the G1 set. Hope the TW International Sales site is up and running by then...

    TCP's had the three upgrade items listed for both Green and Yellow sets for a few weeks now.

    I think TFSource listed them around the same time. BBTS isn't as effective a site to navigate so I rarely check them unless it's something that's out of stock everywhere else I shop.

    Better than any Bay-verse movie, and I don't even hate them. If Hasbro had any sense whatsoever, this would be how the next few feature films would be made. MP sales would go through the roof.

    Awesome job on the video. Production quality is top notch.
    Favorite moment: Loved how Groove whipped out his PE guns and made the foot and hopped on. Good job of hiding the huge difference in scale between Defensor and Constructor.

    Can't wait for the next issue.

    Comparing Constructor to CW/UW Devy is like comparing a Ferrari and a Buick. Sure, they're both cars, but they're not really in the same league.

    while true they arent apples to apples.....more like apples to rhubarb. Even so I feel there were some elegant solutions with a few of them that are more appealing than what toy world came up with. Im not a fan of how deep the lower legs are on mix and scrapper. Their interpretation of bonecrusher, scavenger and longhaul are absolutely perfect though. that said Im inot interested in them as an MP stand in, im not a purist by anymeans but I tend not to go after the 3rd party takes on MP designs. Not that I believe them to be bad or wrong. I just never seem to make the same connection I do with the takara designs. I used to say blah blah blah about varying aesthetics but even thats not the case anymore with the more toon accurate take they have adopted lately.. although that does make the 3rd party options stand out even more. If they had all stayed within the realm of MP10 aesthetic wise these would have been a no brainer, but to me they come across as another example of an oversized universe/classics design that got shoehorned into the trend of lets all make MP figures .....and if possible the same character by 5 different companies. Im sure they have a complex full filling transformation and im not slighting anyone that has them for the purpose of filling the MP ranks. Its just not how I view them.

    What's the official height of this figure? I saw 50cm but mine measures closer to 53cm to the top of the head.

    Cool, I translated your message and got it to them. They said more products will be added soon.

    Also, thanks to the person who cancelled the refund request, hopefully you got yours as well.

    I'm personally glad for all the third party companies stepping up to create MP-level figures. Takara is just too damn slow and an MP Devastator probably won't ever happen anyway so it's 3rd party or nothing.

    I believe there was an article that said this is how the designer would have approached a MP devastator, obviously the line restrictions of combiner wars made it what it is. Similar article same designer said he wanted to do bruticus first. Who knows if we will ever see either. I'm glad there are people that enjoy these and other options available to them. I much preferred when 3rd parties filled the ranks of generations/universe collections.

    Since I don't collect anything other than MPs, 3rd parties only making generations/universe figures wouldn't do anything for me! :D

    ActionRobo has the full yellow set up for $300 now. I decided to jump on it after I confirmed they won't be selling the individual two bot sets for a similar discount.

    So guess I'll end up with a spare Concrete n Shovel, ah well I really like both so that's fine lol. Kinda amazing the 6 figures are still cheaper to buy and ship than buying just the four would be. :p

    I've been checking their site ever day to see when the sale sprung up. The set is a steal! I watched your review on the 2 you already have. Think that sealed the deal

    Should be noted in case anyone misses it, ActionRobo is removing the figures/accessories/manuals from the product boxes for this deal to save on postage and just shipping all the content on its own.

    So fully brand new copies of them of course just no official packaging, they'll likely ship em in bubble wrap and whatnot. That's how they're keeping the ship cost way down.

    Thanks for pointing this out but my quote to the United States is still 72 bucks. Still puts it at 380 which is pretty great at $63 a bot. Are the yellows fully fixed? Are there any other recolors or versions coming?

    Yellows have no issues at all, they're the version of the molds the new green set uses. My shipping was about 50 so 72 seems pretty good for you guys.

    So no after the green v2 set that's probably it, I don't imagine tw will be doing a new run of the yellow ones either given how easily they can still be obtained.
