    Nice. There's still no explanation for Prime's spring-loaded waist...

    $9.99 actually. And I can tell you, with all the spring-loaded bits, pegs and gear system, Prime is more tricky to get back together in truck mode than several deluxe figures. I can only start to imagine the frustration of a 4-5 years old not really knowing what to do. Ironhide is simpler, and Jazz even more simpler.

    Sadly enough if those are out before the "mature" figures...I'll buy Prime and Jazz.

    I think your right. Now that I think of it :banghead: . There are the "bump-n-go" TF's which are smaller and less complicated than these. Those will probably be the $5 ones.



    I apologize Sunstorm for the mistake on the prices but they're still a kids toy :wink:  :D

    is it just me or are these FABs just a little too go-botish; personally i prefer tranformers to be a little more challenging. the regular line tfs for the movie should be good fun though.

    I may not resist the urge to buy those ... but I do prefer the larger versions.

    I find it funny that the defense some posters are using for the FAB's simpler transformation is "it's for kids". Almost all Transformers toys are for kids ... but I like 'em the same.

    Heh. Makes me chuckle to see people saying how these figures look too simple and kiddy, after we had Armada... ;) 
    I'll be getting them; it'll be nice to have simple TFs to show friends who aren't so into the hobby (i.e. TFs I'm not so scared they'll break).

    Missing an 's' there, RF. ;) 

    And althought I've pledged not to buy any and all toys related to this movie, I'm finding it's getting harder and harder to resist these FABs... And Blackout. Musn't forget about Blackout. No...

    Well at least my language has more than one swear word!

    Anyway, seriously. These ARE play-skool toys. That's why they look like play-skool toys.
