    Can someone summarize the overall quality/sturdyness of this set? My son is turning 5 in March and has been wanting a Devastator really badly. He's very careful/gentile with his toys but does play with them. Would these hold up to play or would I be better off going with the MechFans Toys KO Hulkie Legends Devastator or maybe waiting for the JinBao Oversized Gravity Builder?

    For a 5 year old, you'd better be off getting this as it's cheaper (in my area at least).
    I've got kids and they'll break stuff like this through normal play in a fairly short time.
    The vehicle modes are fairly sturdy but the bot modes aren't so.
    If you can find a used combiner wars Devastator, that might work a little better IMO for kids to mess around with.

    So I was looking on YouTube at emgo old videos on gravity builder. And he had the update about the shoulders coming out more. Just checked mines and it has it too. And it's Racthet too. Am I the only one that didn't know that?

    I transformed Longhaul into torso mode this morning. Man, some of the tolerances aren't that great. I almost snapped the gun getting it tabbed into the crotch, the fit was so off.

    Still, looking forward to finishing Devastator off.

    I quit transforming them when I got Scavenger. They go straight in limb mode.

    I broke one of the heels off of Scavenger. Didn't realize they lock in.

    It would be interesting if they had a crack at TFC's Seacons or Ordin or Hades.

    Are they saying only the gift set version has light up eyes then ?
