    The new sculpt heads look fairly nice when swapped with the SDCC sets:

    I haven't managed to swap the Slag/Slug head onto his SDCC body yet, but there really aren't too many color differences. The red is richer on the Platinum version, and the tail isn't gold.

    These guys don't look too bad with the new heads...still not what I want, which is actual Generations Dinobot molds.

    Yeah, that's pretty expensive but judging from the prices they put the Coneheads and Trypticon at here in the UK, not surprising. I'm loving my set.

    I found the set in Kingston, but I couldn't reason with myself to spend 200$ for this set, as I have already the movie version. If that 25% off applied, it was an instant buy...

    Did you take those photos? They put a lot of Hasbro (and even Takara) stock photos to shame.

    oh wow, I realize there wasnt an update on this thread. These were actually part of a black friday deal in canada where TRU was selling them at 75$US (100$ cdn) a set. That was a awesome deal.

    You know while the set may not make a good G1 Dinobot set,I think they can actually work somewhat as Beast Machines/Transtech versions of the Dinobots since the bodies and head styles could work enough to fit into the BM/Transtech universe.

    Got mine this week. It's a great set that I would never buy at full price.

    Yup totally agree. A totally fine set but not worth that big price tag.
