    Most interesting things for me is scoria, warbotron bruticus and iron factory Scorponok. Total is about $500 including shipping. But I'm not too sold on the idea of spending near 300 dollars for a combiner without the box.

    Meh.

    Honestly - the past few months, the waste disposal people must have thought I had opened a toy store or something - because I have been tossing boxes out left and right.

    I rarely if ever keep boxes anymore ... only if I am really unsure about a product and think I may sell it in the future.

    Waste of space. You look like a hoarder. It's messy. Etc.

    I say don't worry about the boxes and don't let deals such as this pass you by.

    I'm trying to to figure out if I want Wabotron because I like it or if I just feel the need to have a G1 style Bruticus in my collection. I've really enjoyed the upgraded WFC Fruiticus, and CW Dudicus, I think I want a similarly sized G1 Bruticus and I know Warbotron is too big and has its issues, but for $200 that is mighty tempting.

    Warbotron Bruticus is the most stable voyager scaled combiner I've ever owned. He is extremely solid in combined mode. Some of the individual figures could be better, but there are some beautiful gems (Brawl and Swindle) in there.

    He looks amazing in combined mode as well.

    You've not factored in shipping yet. I think it's 100 plus. Still kinda cheap, but I think the Yellow Constructor is a better deal.

    Oo, I'm not the only one who wants a Diaclone colored Devastator! Hooray! We should build a clubhouse, and I'll put a big sign up that says "Gravity Builder, you're my only hope."

    (I really want a Diaclone construction robo set to go with my MP figures, which are all the Diaclone ones).

    Devie shows OOS for me, which is probably a good thing because I really don't need another 2' tall robot.

    Yeah, I held off 'til now but if it's OOS that makes it a lot easier :)

    I think I got the last one.

    That's a great thing and a terrible thing. I really shouldn't have, but I've been eyeballing him for a very long time. :) 

    Here's hoping he scratches that MP Devastator itch in a way the Hasbro one just didn't quite manage.

    Ditto, few months back I decided to toss out most of my 3P boxes which took up soooo much space. I can tell within a day of having a figure whether or not I'm gonna keep them, so the boxes become superfluous.

    Missed out on yellow devy, but I am tempted to pull the trigger on that warbotron. Any opinions here? $300 is a little much but i have always liked how their bruticus looks. And it would probably cost me a bit more since id want all the original packaging.

    I am getting all the Diaclone decoed MPs. Something about the old Japanese toy commercials drags me in. Plus my Devy as a kid was a KO Diaclone version. Never had the G1s, so that will always be special for me. :) 

    I don't know why the Diaclone gets so much hate and the G2 gets so much love.

    Diaclone > G2 :D

    Decided to pick up the Toyworld Conehead Thrust from them. I would have grabbed Ramjet too but their shipping is beyond insane. 63 dollars for the 2 in the same order!
    it was 28 for just one and if thats the case im better off splitting the order. Still better than ebay atm so im happy.

    Vortex is pretty meh, Blast Off is kind of partsformery, and something about Onslaught doesn't seem very Onslaughty. Swindle and Brawl are great, though, as is combined mode.

    Thanks. I noticed people raving about the oversized ko of this in that thread, so now I'm wondering if I should consider getting that instead.

    I'm waiting on mine to come in stock, but the reviews I've seen about the knock off have been pretty positive. Plus, it's a fraction of the price. My advice is to go with the knock off and save yourself some money.

    I've heard it's good, but it's too big for my tastes. I have Warbotron Bruticus and Computron, TFC's Poseidon, Hades and Uranos, ToyWorld's Throttlebots, UT's Ordin, MMC Feral Rex, GT Gravity Builder, and I'm working on TFM's Menasor. They're all pretty similar in height, so an OS one would throw things off.
