    Cool. It is a pretty good way to get folks interested in the concept.

    Sorry man, I didn't mean to confuse you (and i can see how i did!) but the Dinobot drones don't have bot modes, per se. What I was getting at was that the Dino modes of the drones ARE the bot modes.

    Cant wait to have a scout class figure, flanked by his trusty Bot-Dino buddies!

    I hope this is $20-$25. I wasn't sure about getting Searchlight, but if he is "free" with Skyburst, then I might buy it.

    Searchlight is better than Skyburst IMO. Skyburst looks weird to me in both modes.

    Cool.

    Power Core has been a little side hobby for me so I don't have everything yet. This means a set I can put off for a while because it's not a bad deal.

    Of course even if I miss the value pack it's not like these things have exactly been flying off the shelves so I can still pick up the set later.

    Ha ha and my rep was already ruined because I was upset Robot Heroes got axed before I could complete a full G1 collection.

    Hasbro needs to cut ties with PCC brand. When I go into stores these things pack the shelves. Rather Annoying. However, I was thinking about getting one and doing a custom... are rather using the parts for a custom.

    They really aren't that great of figures, imo. They are ok, but they cost more than they are worth.

    I might buy some of the INCREDIBLE VALUE packs if there's ones other than the Jet Pack.

    With how anal retentive this community can be, one has to be able to poke fun at it. We are adults buying children toys, you know.

    I read this whole thread just now and I didn't see any lashing out in anger. I'm confused.

    I might bite on that Aerialbot set if I ever find this bonus pack.

    Aye. It was a cute jab at the fandom. No one seems to be particularly angry over it.

    Yeah, a Dinoking would be a draw, also any other beast drone sets like Insecticons, cassetticons or lions. At the least, I'll watch a review of the Dinobot set. Hell, it would be bigger than the original DK!
    That's one of the main things for me, they're shrimps. I'll skip the 2-packs in favor of the excellent HFTD and Generations deluxes we've got on deck!
