    Yeah, that's the thing I hate about these sets. I bought the high quality Devastator KO just to save me a little money.

    Yup, $40 if you go with BBTS or TFSource.

    I look at Munitioner or Explorer from FP, full figures with a shitload of accessories and combiner parts for $48.99 each, and then I look at this, merely a head on its own for only $8 less. And I can't help but laugh.
    Until these guys get their pricing sorted out and stop gouging the hell out of people, there is no way they deserve my business.

    Bingo. Plus for those that order on BBTS or TFSource, I do recall it taking far longer to fill orders than if ordered directly through CrazyDevy (something in the ballpark of several months longer). No way is that head worth $40.

    The head not needed G1 head is fine, the wing too big IMO and both are over priced.

    i think they will make more money if they re-analyze their production to make it more affordable (as affordable as 3rd party can be) to more customers who will always go back when satisfied, as compared to catering to only a 'very' few who are 'crazy' enough (not really 'crazy', just crazy rich) to buy it.

    i think Fansproject nailed that middleground pretty well. expensive-yet-justifiably-collector-friendly-affordable.

    Yeah, all these 3rd parties jumping on the money train, it's getting a bit silly. These prices are insane. Anyone who supports this crap is adding to the problem.

    I don't mind all the different companies doing Transformer add on stuff. The more stuff out there the better it is for us. The only thing that bothers me is the damn prices. $50 for a head that is barely any better then the original one? Bad form crazydevy. They suckered me in with the Devastator pieces. This won't happen again. Just give us a giftset already at a reasonable price. $120 should be more then enough for PIECES that add on to another figure.

    Say what? Just how bloody big is Predaking? If a bloody Supreme Class figure's hands are the right size for him, he must be a huge bastard...
