I still want one but I'm currently broke

 

I've got one myself and I'll prolly sell it because cost is my main factor.

 

I want one mainly due to wanting the mold to see the engineering. Same with the rest of the FE molds.

 

I still want fe bulkhead (and all the rest of the FE toys) if I do not get it than I will have no bulkhead.

 

I'd still like a First Edition Bulkhead.

So if they ever showed up at retail for whatever reason, I would jump on one. Definitely.

But at the same time, I don't want it as much as I wanted something like Buster Prime, to the point I'm willing to pay hefty aftermarket prices for it.

 

I'd still love to get a hold of the FE mold at a decent cost. If I can't find it, I suppose I'll have to settle with the RiD version...though after first watching a review of RiD Cliff, I have since discovered RiD molds aren't all that bad after all.

 

I have both the FE and RID versions of Bulkhead. I'm not going to argue that FE isn't the "better" figure - it is - but the RID version is a really excellent figure in its own right.

If you've not got the cash to buy FE really don't fret too much - the RID is still awesome.

 

Iv got my TT FE version, and that's alls I need. The RID version could rot on a shelf for all I care.

 

People would be just fine with the RID version if the FE never existed. It is a pretty good voyager aside from the useless weapon. Of course I think my FE is WAY better but the RID is still worth owning.

 

I have the entire RID first wave and the only figure that I was truly satisfied with was Wheeljack. If I saw FE Bulkhead for a reasonable price of say $30 (dream on), I would get it to have a Bulkhead, but at this stage I doubt I will purchase any more RID figures, deluxe or voyager, even if it means no Bulkhead.

 

I am so sick of hearing this argument. Because it DOES exist. We can't just pretend it doesn't.

I don't disagree with you that people would be able to live with the RiD version in those circumstances (although I still don't think anyone would think it was a great toy), but that is not a world we live in. We live in a world where a toy with 100 times the quality was created and released.

 

I think it's a great toy.

 

Seconded.

 

Seconded. The RID version is growing on me, particularly since I took apart that weapon of fail and modded it, and he's my stand in, but I really liked the engineering behind the FE version. You could complain about accuracy, color, etc, but the engineering into that figure is astounding. So I would love to have an FE. I just wish that Hasbro didn't screw the pooch and decide to rerelease him again as an Asia Exclusive Brawn. I get it, American kids and all, blah blah blah, but sheesh, whose leg do I gotta hump to get an iteration of this mold in the US?

 

As do I

 

I agree. This is the situation with Knockout. He's an okay but flawed figure. If a FE Knockout had been released people wouldn't like it as much.

And now I dream of a FE Knockout.

 

Actually, while i have yet to own either as we are still stuck on wave 1, I really like the RID but i thouroughly dislike the Fe Mold. It depends on how much show accuracy matters to you (which to me it hardly matters at all)

You are a legend

 

My major concern regarding the FE is actually whether he's going to be too large compared to the coming Voyager Breakdown, like FE Optimus was to RID Megatron. I know scale is a very rough thing when it comes to Transformers, but I kinda think that the 'rivals' from each faction should be correctly scaled to each other and IIRC Breakdown has about the same mass as Bulkhead, just a little taller instead of having the extra bulk around the middle.

 

I wouldn't. I think the RiD one looks like trash either way.
