    This is an expensive hobby man. If your really sweating a $25 price difference on a figure, you should find a new hobby. I can understand people griping over $100+ figures, but these are Masterpiece scaled figures and at a decent price. I think $85 is pretty reasonable. But, I suppose price and value can be subjective.

    Agree they do look pretty sharp.

    I have them available for order sign up now, prices include free worldwide shipping.

    Also agree that cheaper is always better but I don't think there are really any MP 3p car bots going for less than $75 ish besides those new stunticons and who knows what corners are gonna have to be cut to meet that price point...

    I really hope they get the brown colour of Blastoff right I have just noticed that Ironfactory's Blastoff is orange coloured just like every other blastoff we seem to get lately.

    Yes - I agree. I'm pretty comfortable paying like $75ish for a carbot 3P, $50-$60 for a minibot, and $100-$120 for the bigger guys. That's what I've been seeing lately more or less - with the KO stuff being the exception where you can get some crazy good deals.

    When I say comfortable - it doesn't mean I'm going to turn down a cheaper bot - but I think that's a hellva lot better price point than the $99 car bots that BadCube used to offer. I wonder if MakeToys is going to bring the price of their MP figures down a bit. I feel like they still ask some pretty high prices for their figures. Same with PE, but then, they don't really release all that many figures...

    Gotta say having seen how big the dx9 Stunticons are these are gonna look a bit silly being shorter. They should delay the release and bring these guys upto the same height then they'd be perfect.

    I like these guys the size they already are. If anything should get delayed and resized it's the DX9 Stunticons. They are going to be too big and they're likely not as far along in development.

    This only needs 5 cm more... But that would mean that Onslaught will be another 5 cm higher than Prime

    Upsizing them to seeker height (and Onslaught equally) would probably get most of that.

    I just can't believe essentially the same company aren't singing from the same hymn sheet scale wise. Seems odd.

    Maybe the 3 companies had an agreement about the height, but at the very last moment DX9 and XTB decided to change from 45 to 50 cm...

    Given how these things work, someone will OS this thing and everyone will get what they want!

    IMPC Bruticus is a little bit shorter than the others. If devestator was a quarterback, menasor was a lineman and bruticus a running back

    Combaticons are my favorite Decepticon combiner group but I only want to buy one set and have really struggled over which one to go with. They are one of the only combiner teams I might occasionally display as the individual bots so am leaning towards this set as of all the available options they seem to best capture the individual characters (judging solely from Brawl and Swindle of course). No denying that Zeta's Bruticus looks much better than this one though. It is kind of a bummer that this combined mode seems to be smaller than the new standard bearer Constructor-scale, but as things stand I'll probably just have to put up with it. Guess it depends also on if anyone ever puts out a Defensor (my favorite combiner) and how that team scales.

    These look great. How many people are waiting until the whole set is released as opposed to buying as they come out?

    I don't think I'll buy any Combaticons until all of these and Zeta's are released and we can see how the gestalt is.

    I'm sure within the next year or two we will have more G1 MP Combaticons. I'm willing to wait since both new offerings so far are underwhelming either in bot or combine mode.

    even if I pass on even if I pass on the rest of the set, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get swindle. He's just too distinctive of a character to pass on, and this version is spot-on accurate

    They could have made Swindle and Brawl 1cm longer in alt mode.
    Make Onslaugt 1cm longer legs and 1 cm longer body.
    And Bruticus head a little bit bigger.
    And we have almost 4cm more.
    Onslaught will be 2cm bigger then mp-10.
    We can live with that.
    Maybe make the add on foot a little bit thicker, and that's over 4 cm to 5 cm.
    Everybody happy.

    But we're not happy, because UT is not making it a little bit bigger.

    Oh well, i've ordered mine today at TFS- express.
    Best conbabitcons ever!
    I think he'll look good next to x-tb Menasor.
