    I think you've got this wrong. TJ has a shitload of FP products...you said you had 18 sets of Bruticus prior to this, right TJ? Now were TJ Duckett bashing BBTS at the end of every post, then he'd be turning into a Transbot.

    It was a joke. Didn't mean anything negative towards neither TJ or Transbot.
    Lighten up, don't let someone on a forum get to you. :)

    Nothing gotten to. I'm not defending his honor or anything lol, I just think he is the FP fan to be compared to. I on the other hand, have one FP product, hoping to make it three after this is released...and hopefully having a FP styled Christmas from the wife.

    Because its not public business.

    TB doesn't own every FP product, let alone multiples. We definitely do have a love for FP in common

    It doesn't "matter", but it read more like a facetious remark than a joke.

    @Masi - What FP product do you own now, and what are you looking to get?


    I sure can't wait to get to a real computer. Trying to check this board on my phone sucks.

    I've got CA-03 (and 04 and 05 sitting in my PoL.) Missed out on the bundle the other day, but the wife is going to get me all of the warbots and the TFSource Deluxe Insecticons for Christmas. My GDO Bruticus is already paid for, just waiting for munitioner and explorer. City Commander and Protector currently are not a priority.

    Graduating college next semester, so hopefully disposable income will be increasing as well in the near future.

    So it's PM business then?


    Also, is anyone planning on getting the GDO Bruticus just for this re-release?

    Otherwise, what's the reason to pay $130 for an (on its own) lackluster representation of Bruticus?

    Edit: Hey, 1000 posts.

    I got the first two Bruticus decos and I want to get the new deco for these two but I want to see some better pics of the GDO first. I'm worried about the chrome details.

    Damn! Your FP collection is about to be on point!

    And if you can ever swing it... Get Crystal protector. It's beautiful.

    And congrats on getting to that home stretch with school brother. That's awesome.

    I agree. Chrome can be hit or miss.

    Also, I had to cancel my Frame Arms order. :cry

    Thank you much. Debating on sticking it out another year for my MBA. Probably will.

    I know, I've seen your pictures of Crystal Protector, (as well as the others of the mold,) and want it. There's still so much shit coming out in the near future, though: Throttlebots, Uranos, FP stuff, iGear minibots, +$, +$.

    As someone going back for his MBA in the spring... Do it now lmao.

    And yea man. That's why I just said if you can swing it. It's a big fourth quarter.

    Thundershred is my absolute favourite third party figure. He's one badass Insecticon. (He's also the only FansProject product I currently own.)

    For the longest time I've been woefully awaiting a new Crossfire set - so I'm stoked the G1-style Bruticus has prompted this new release! Easiest money I'll spend this year!

    I heard my name so I had to come see what was being said about me. lol

    So no one posting in the last few pages has caught on that TJ has insider info?

    I get hit on this a lot so I will say this here while the light is on TJ. There are people here that have insider info. They may either be directly connected to a 3P or official group or they know someone who is. TJ has recently aquired a source, it isn't impossible because there are many sources that post here. If I can amass insiders from almost every group and I just post here how hard do you think it would be for a guy who post pics and reviews on items here?


    TJ congrats on building yourself up in this community on such short time. To the rest, it appears at this time, that if TJ states something that sounds like fact in a FP forum just take it as so, the man has no need to BS.


    P.S. The only FP stuff I do not own is the CJ set (pre FP) and the Appendage set. I also own 2 SC's and I will own at least 2 Assaulters. In my FP fanboy defence, I own over 1000 TF's I just ain't got the room. lol
