    Other than possibly CP it isn't worth getting them from US retailers anyway due to price.

    They teased sillouettes that are probably a Stunticon and Cutthroat (some disagreement on that) at TF Con in October stating they were for 2015. Of course that could change. I will look for the pic. I missed it originally and Lazy was kind enough to share it again at that time.

    I know Chosen Prime is planning to offer the set as well, with free shipping since it will obviously be over $150.

    To be fair $80 is more then "a bit more" than $17.

    We can eliminate the "aren't selling" option otherwise stores would have stopped carrying them new products by now.

    We were told one would be revealed at TF Con, didn't happen obviously.

    Personally I see Prometheus as a wall that no one is getting through.

    Also I would gamble he would leave once the burger joint is out of food.

    If you look in a thesaurus fat and thick are synonyms. It is unfair to expect everyone to be language scholars. If a word "means the same" it makes sense to go with the short one to save on typing. It may not be the best use of language, but that is just how people are.

    Ironhide is before Hound, at least by reveal date.

    Even without a coupon you can get most TFC limbs for 80 shipped. A few are more expensive though.

    Gumball's windshield and hood can rotate 180 degrees so the windshield is at top of his chest (unless you have it upside down on purpose, in which case carry on)

    Excellent. I'm stoked they were able to get them out before CNY, TFC is usually pretty good about that and it's nice to see them continuing that trend.

    Awesome, I really wasn't expecting Verti-Aid in before CNY. Hope Captured Prey gets these soon so I can finally have Prometheus completed. One more combiner finished!

    I go back and forth. Seems like having it "upside" down makes his shoulders seem a little broader

    Eventually yes but tfc stuff tends to take a few weeks longer to get to America once it hits asia and it literally only hit asia yesterday.

    For people who can muster patience however, give it a couple months and you'll probably see this entire set listed for just 400. Which imo will be an incredibly good deal.

    Based on the two more Masterpiece-like reveals (Ironhide and Hound) I think TFC is putting their combiners on ice for now. So, I'd put those silhouettes on hold probably indefinitely. But don't quote me.

    I personally think that'd be a bad idea. MP style designs aren't their strong suit, and there are too many players in that market already like FT, GP, MT's remaster line, and KFC. I'd much rather see them take this opportunity to assert their dominance in the combiner market.

    No problem waiting. Just remember they were trying to get things out before CNY. Just hoping it's on the boat already.
