the gimmick is not that bad, the poseability is good, front of the vehicle looks great and the size is ok, but, come on, what the hell with hollow the legs, and exposed arms in vehicle mode, the fake chest, the supremely simplistic transformation and the enormous backpack, and that half the vehicle is just the gimmick, one that is not accurated and doesnt fit the character in any way, and while the gimmick is kinda cool is nothing we really need, and there is not possible to compare it to the movie voyager, i mean, it has a big backpack but not THAT big

It is a shame that all he really need is one hinged panel on each leg that goes over those gaps and he would have been much more appealing. I still will get him at $30, but somehow I can't see stores selling him that low at that size.

Utter garbage... I'm so disappointed. Hoping a 3rd party does a leader size mold rip of FE prime.

Yeah, if Voyagers are going for $23-$30, I find it hard to see this going for only $30.

Only at TRU though, well, Shopko too, but regardless of that, most retail stores will keep the prices Hasbro has set up for them, it helps them make more sales that way.

And as for TRU, they typically don't sell many Prime toys unless they're new releases and hard to find, but the TRU by me is loaded with 3 spots full of Voyagers, and 8 pegs of Deluxes, which will never sell quickly.

To me, the Weaponizers will be $30-$33 at Walmart, Target, and K-mart, while $40-$48 at TRU and Shopko.

I don't know, for the most part that all sounds true, but Targets around me have marked their voyagers up, some have them up to $30. Regardless, when I see this guy, if he's around $30 I will get him. He just doesn't seem worth $40 or more.

That gimmick works really well. A not bad robot mode, too. Pretty good.
