    This thing....I'm guessing will run around $50-$60, the size of the toys just makes me assume a $30-$40 retail price, combine that with the SDCC cost addition, and I'm guessing 50-60

    Still, I'd rather have this one than the retail version, plus it'll be on my shelf a few months earlier too.

    In order to support the combiner initiative, I'll probably buy both versions. But man, the accurate one's gonna be a pain to get.

    Ya know, at first I was really excited for this set of figures. Now that I look at how derpy Bruticus looks...I dunno. The price of the SDCC set isn't the problem for me anymore, it's the design itself. It's kinda mehhh.

    As I said in another thread: In-game colored Bruticus a SDCC exclusive = No Bruticus for me.

    Any chance TakaraTomy will release the game-accurate colors in their United line for those of us that want to be able to ensure we'll get the toys with a preorder instead of attending SDCC or braving HTS?

    I think they'll do it in a more G1 deco if anything since they never dubbed WFC/FOC in Japan.

    Pretty much this. I like G2 colors, but they're so out of place here. It really ruin sthe look of the figures for me. :(

    I fucking knew it! I wish I could've put money on a Bruticus box set for SDCC. It just fell in line with their recent exclusives so comfortably that "calling it" felt like a gimme.

    That said, the game-accurate deco being an exclusive is a minor surprise...but I figure an exclusive had to have SOME appeal beyond its box. Then again, we received Matrix of Leadership Prime and Ultimate Optimus last year too, so...oh well, whatever. I'm glad I'll be bringing that home from SDCC this year.

    This will be mine. The official release looks like awful.

    But I'm curious. Do people think this will be like FE Deluxe Optimus from last year where they will always be in stock on HTS? I'm trying to gauge how patient I should be on this. Should I buy the first ones I see online or hold off?
