    I'm not too fond of the G2 color scheme but at $12 a figure this is great!

    And I'm finally getting a buster cannon too!

    They're shipping him to international's, much like how they shipped Unicron to international's last year.

    Anyways, price is awesome and the shipping will probably be good. The only problem I have is I can't actually buy it, because my ATM card can't be used online, so I'm going to have to bribe my mum into getting it for me.

    HMM, I still think I'd prefer the SDCC color scheme (though not the price) but that G2 Vortex calls to me.

    Looks like Christmas just came early for my son:D  He's been asking for a combiner and with me watching FOC trailers these days, he's become quite fond of those designs, especially Bruticus.

    Those prices do seem to cheap, but with Amazon.com's price guaranty we all better jump on this before prices change (if they do at all).

    So is this the Bruticus version that will be released in stores as well just as single figures and not a gift set? Or is this a whole different version than besides the regular release?

    Regular version is in Energon colors.

    So there's at least three colors on the cards, and the Energon one appears to be the only mass release version.

    if I didn't read wrongly, there are a total of 3 versions
    the SDCC one
    the amazon one with its G2 colors (in the first pic)
    [​IMG]

    the regular retail version with its energon colors (in the second pic)
    [​IMG]

    waiting for others to confirm it...

    Hmm, energon colors seem to be better for me but I would wait for better pics of G2 bruticus first...

    Bruticus is about the price it would cost to buy all five one at a time. Not sure how I will buy them.

    Preordered both but not sure if I'm going to keep the Bruticus. It's always easy to cancel the preorder with Amazon if I don't dig the look when the pics are posted :eek:

    I believe you're correct.


    And i'll be surprised if there isn't a United one down the line, although jury is out on what they'll change, if anything.

    If the FOC deluxes are really going to be $14.99 a piece, it's actually like you're getting the fifth figure for free :D 

    Edit: With no sales tax and/or shipping :D  :D

    With the BBTS preorder being about $200 US, Fruiticus will be an excellence alternative! And why not, once the pics come out I'll probably get Jetwing Prime too! Been waiting for a U.S. version of that forever!

    Really?

    Price tags at Botcon said 14.99, and BBTS said there's been a price hike.

    Remains to be seen which retailers are passing the increase on...but i believe Target put RID DXs up to 15.00

    Nice find, OP!

    Pulled the trigger on both. Not sure if I'll keep Jetwing, but it's nice to have a reasonably(?) priced domestic option for picking him up.
