    I ditched the SDCC in favor of the brightly colored retail version and I don't regret it. I used to hate that combiner but now I like it much more despite all the flaws.

    I agree, I'm tempted to see if someone would buy the SDCC off me so I can buy the Takara version.

    They look nicer but it doesn't mean it makes the figures any better themselves. I mean i like Vortex and Blast Foff but rest are so blah.

    I would have to say yes. I own the SDCC mold, I have the retail ones MOSC, and the only thing keeping me from the g2 version is my lack of money.

    Although...I'm debating on selling my SDCC version for these...thoughts?

    OOOOO...nice. I have the SDCC one from HTS that have yet to open. But I might just keep that sealed and get these instead to open. TakTom did a beautiful job on them. The colors are vibrant, yet understated...a technique that seems to escape Hasbro on most occasions. A very nice set.

    nice paint on crappy molds. The only one that's even tempted me is the G2 giftset, and that's only cuz' i can't believe they did it and recreated the G2 era packaging so unbelievably well...

    I had to drop my pre-orders so that I could afford MP-13. Whilst I'm still glad I'll be getting MP-13, I definitely want these guys. They look SO much better than the Hasbro version (and even if I wanted the Hasbro version, which I kind of do, they're nearly impossible to find over here, so I'll probably never have FoC Bruticus either way, now).

    I still have to notice that... like the Japanese Powercore combiners... when you unify the color schemes of these guys, they look aaahhhhmaaaazing. I might have to buy them all, then make combiners out of the colors I like.

    Awwww. Vortex. You get left out, sorry.

    Strange, those are the two I don't like, though I don't like any of them enough to buy a set. Almost cracked and purchased Swindle a few times, but I think I am finally over it.

    They look ok, just too shiny for my liking.
    I'll stick with the G2 giftset.

    Really amazing looking, but considering the fact that I have FP Bruticus Pre-Orderd and G2 FoC Bruticus for the measly sum of $60, the $175+ price tag makes me depressed. However, I may splurge and grab one of them for the sHiNeYS!!!!

    That shot with four Brawl limbs looks frickin' awesome. That said... I'd say as long as you don't mind the overly shiny nature... the Takara version is the go-to version. Cost about as much to import as the SDCC version was originally sold for... but more readily available and I'd say better.
