    I am having a hard time talking myself out of adding this to my want list I work off of when budgeting for my purchases.... I would love to use these as an Autobot version.... loveing the colors!!! I never completed Herc and I own Green Giant so this may be the one I get.... but I also want to use the individual Herc robot modes as my classics constructicons in bot mode for my Season 1 display....

    Perseus is beautiful. Just as his moral counterpart. But this one I'll only love from a distance. Besides, all told Herc was $650 (+ship). Even with a natural reduction as a single set, that is going to sting.

    That's the big thing Hasbro has over the third parties. They can give us a supersize figure for under $100.

    Man, got excited for a sec. Did a double take when I saw this post. Thought it was a color pic of the TFC notSuperion.

    Anyway, it looks good. But I am holding out for the aforementioned notSuperion:)

    Not expecting a lower price, but by waiting, there will be more room in the budget for Perseus.

    Eagle looks sweet in those colors. Cannot wait to see how the finished TFC Superion will look.

    Hard to justify $500 plus overseas shipping when I got a Herc set for $400 shipped not too long ago. I want it, but I also want other things...

    EDIT: $546.33 shipped.

    If the red was a dark green, I'd have to buy these as they'd be dead ringers for one of my local quarry/construction companies.

    Thank goodness it's not!

    Do you still need to put sliced erasers to tighten up these guy's joints?

    You're asking about an item that hasn't even been released yet.

    Yes, because this is the first time we've seen the Herc mold, right? It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask if they've fixed any and all QC issues and hope for either a response from TFC, RK, or someone in the know.

    My point is that until we have more information, how would we know? Like you said, that would be a question for TFC.

    I am still debating about this one myself. I am not an SG fan, but this guy would look perfect as an Autobot with some respective faction stickers on him. They can be called the Demobots (e.g. Demolition Bots) and they form Constructor. It sounds good me anyway ;) 

    With Uranos, FP Not-Mensaor, and all these MP figures in the works though, it is kind of hard to justify getting this one... and I still have not gotten a Steel Core yet.

    Who cares about SG Hercules...look at Grindcore! Can't wait for that little guy to be released.

    This splended piece of merchendice is truly a heart breaker. One of the best figures I've seen ever, but there's just no way possible I can justify taking that kind of chunk out of my salary for 1 addition to my collection (I say 1 because it looks so awesome in combined mode, I don't see them ever seperating on my shelf). Too bad.
