toyworld grind rod (not-rollbar) pre-orders

Nice figure but not for that price for a figure that will probably suffer from GPS down the line.

They have it listed under iGear...

Wasn't there a rumor a little while ago that toyworld IS igear? I think I remember optibotimus saying it. Not many people reacted to it though.

What?! That doesn't seem likely to me at all. His face might be gold plastic (though it's almost certainly painted), but the rest of him is green.

I didn't see him say that, but it doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Just like the "FPJ=Maketoys" claim- why would a company be two companies? Until I can come up with a compelling (IE money-related) reason for them to do so, I'm skeptical.

Yeah, I'm not saying they are the same. Just retelling what I think I remember reading.
Should be somewhere on the boards, if I'm right.

Oh, I wasn't accusing you of saying it, I understand you're just repeating what someone else said. I'm just saying that if in fact he did say that (and hell, I'm not reading all of his posts to check) it doesn't make a ton of sense.

Says he has this information from "people I know".
Doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess there are things going on with the third party groups behind closed doors that we don't know about.

I like it, though not 60 dollars worth, 40 would be much nicer, 50 is too much IMO.

Scaleface · 09-13-2012, 05:46 PM

Tempting. Maybe later when I have more cash.
