    It's the best price if you want them all or like the pairings. For someone like me that only wants Cogz and Dunerunner it's a dick move to bundle them like that.

    Based off of what I got with Hench and UFO, these figures are not worth $$55 a pop. Might get Cogs...and thats it at this point. The prices are stupid.

    looks like I'll be ordering from Igear again. But I'll wait til closer to the release date. No need to give Igear my money 5 months in advance.

    I was ok with the scout resizes at 35-40 a pop... but now? 55 bucks for them individually? What a joke. These things are no where near the quality of FP deluxes, who upon initial sale were 55$ a pop.

    iGear wtf... srsly... yall changing your pricing model to that of CrazyDevy or something?

    I really, really wanted Cogz. Sorta wanted Duneraker and Veer but couldn't care less about Bushwacker. At the most I was prepared to pay $45 before shipping on Cogz and waiting out on the rest. Looks like I'll be passing on them all now. :(

    I want the 4 but $170 at once is a bit too much especially since I wasn't blown away with Hench and UFO. We'll see what's out around the time these come out.

    Looks like iGear shop gets my money not BBTS.

    Thanks for the price hike BBTS on Cogz.

    I am also out, and I own MW01-MW04. $35 for the resize was close to my max, but $55 is too much of a cash grab. At least from BBTS.

    Totally uneeded. I'd rather wait and get them from Igear and deal with the difficulties associated with that.

    Although the Igear bundling sucks.

    Man, I really wanted these because I bought Hench and UFO, but the cost of overpriced mini bots has me thinking twice. I hope Takara makes some Masterpiece mini bots now.

    I love how these things go up in price with each release. Might need to think twice about getting the Gears and Beachcomber.

    Pre-Ordered the two sets since it's cheaper in pairs. I'll look at Duneraker once I have it in hand but I'm pretty sure that I'll sell that off for dirt cheap, knowing full well that a G1 accurate version is coming. Veer and Cogs are already perfect... no need to sell them. Bushwhacker may also go on the chopping block when it arrives. Depends on if I can live with iGear not changing the chest... really hoping that they cave and make the change since the images of him are just the CG ones. Then I only have to wait for a G1 accurate Duneraker... hopefully with an actual flower colored flower.

    Maybe if people don't preorder right away then prices will go down.

    I've avoided them since I got hit in their credit card fiasco. So they will never get my money on anything at all.

    But I will say thanks to them as well for showing us they know we want Cogz more than Veer and as a result jacked the price on him.

    Umm, each iGear mini warrior for about the same price as a Takara set of Masterpiece cassettes? I think not.

    Pre-ordered mine. Transformers isn't a fandom for the cheap. Get into sticker collecting if you're looking to save a few bucks.
