    I hope lots of people buy these so Hasbro make more titan class toys in the future. I can't say they/it especially excites me so much though. It's just another Optimus Maximus like release only more costly to me.

    I would like to like it more than I do.. perhaps it's just that it's a little plain looking.

    Looks pretty great. Kinda lamenting the fact that I passed in favor of the retail version. $40 seemed like a lot for chrome and an extra gun, but damnit do I love dual wielding!

    Reg Metroplex is $109.99 before shipping.

    SDCC Metroplex is going for about $260 before shipping on ebay.

    So, a box the size of a diningroom table, three chrome pieces, an extra gun, and some plastic army men are worth $150?

    A third party company needs to make an extra gun, and a ramp piece that actually reaches the ground and doesn't have a barricade at the far end. That would be sexy, and allow me to buy the retail version. I don't dig the chrome on this one.

    I almost bought the SDCC when it went online at the Hasbro toy shop. Once I got it in cart I noticed there was no free shipping so my total was $180.00 (150.00 + 10.00 for tax and +20.00 for shipping). No way was I paying that.

    Wow. Usually they pay you to buy $150 worth of toys.

    Well worth it imo, expect the price to skyrocket over time. Remember that Encore Fortress Maximus is smaller than this guy, and cost over $300 for importing. Those chrome accents are to die for.

    What a huge overpriced bunch of plastic.
    I'd love it if it had a city mode, and not a lame attempt at one that is worse than the version from 30 years ago.
    It could have been done, but Hasbro knows people will buy it anyway so why bother?

    I disagree. Unless you are just buying it so that you can make money down the line, then by all means, knock yourself out.

    But the box alone makes it a waste of space for me, if you are trying to keep the thing MIB to resell it. It's bad enough that TRU Soundwave came in a box that TFC Hercules could fit in in combined mode.

    I'd rather get the $109.99 version and have someone custom chrome the entire thing out for me. Someone will make an extra gun, or I'll just pick one up down the line if I really want it that bad. I have no interest in the figurines.

    I'm good with the SDDC version. I think it's worth it.
