    You asked a question and he tried to give you the answer while pointing out that your question was discussed on the other two pages.

    It looks like they're a slightly different size. Somewhere around Scout / Commander size seems to be the consensus.

    Nice find. Optimus still looks bigger than the Cyberverse Commander class, but I'm not sure......

    I'm curious as to their retail price. Bbts wants $15 a pop for them. If they're legends size, they should only be $10 like the commander class with the micromaster. I need to get the microns...

    so you come in the thread telling a guy trying to help you not to talk to him and then say you don't like him. class act dude, help yourself next time or get off your high horse. no need to be a dick for some past tiff when you refused to look through a 3 page thread for an easy answer and when someone helped you you blow them off. smh.

    According to the picture on the front of the package, the orange pretties attach to optimus. More choking hazards for me, great. I'm still passing the minicon weapons through my colon

    I dont find the comparison to the scout and target master 2 packs fair when looking at the price point since this set gives you more. Along with the minicon, you get added armour which itself can be combined to make a weapon. There is more offered in this set than in last year's two packs so I understand if they arent the same price.

    I haven't heard anyone GUSH about the weapons-that-attach, so while you debate the point of "more stuff, more price!" I argue that giving crap additions to inflate the price is absolute BULLSH*T.

    Prices ARE going up. And while these little weapons are a cute gimmick, if you have ever collected GI Joe's, you're gonna realize they really aren't adding as much "value" as you seem to perceive.

    No, this is like a Legends + minicon set, which a year or two ago cost $9.99 - adding clear weapons is not the equivalent of a +$5 value! :D  Especially when these are essentially MORE Sideswipes and Optimi (don't we already have some 3-4 variants each? :lol  And that's not even counting 1-steps and 3-steps and Titans. :banghead: ). I just wish Hasbro would do more RID villains or obscure characters that get no love. I don't know if I can justify owning so many versions of these two, when the warrior class alone gives me enough variants.

    I think he means because the minicon is worth.more then a micromaster PLUS there is translucent weapons added ;) 

    Plus inflation. For about 15 years I watched the price stay right around the same but in the last 5 years it'd gone up a dollar or two every year. Ugh but its life

    Just out of curiosity, are these about Scout or Generations Commander sized?

    The prices go up, such is life, but does the quality hold up? The new Minicons come with weapons on plastic sprues, and to be honest, I personally don't like that (except G1 missiles or Kabaya kits). There's something cheap & unfinished about using them, especially in what is supposed to be a finished product. It's like Hasbro is saying, "Aah, put it together yous-self, I aint doin it! ".

    At least these don't have them. :rolleyes2

    Love that Prime. I find it cool that a commander size toy comes with weapons and armor.

    Still pretty bummed they decided to break the theme of armored mini-cons. If these sets had armor for SS/Op AND the minis, I'd be all over them. As it stands, I don't know if I want "naked" mini-cons on the shelf with all of their decorated brothers.

    Just snagged these two at at my local tru in MD. They're both really nice. I feel like the mixture of size classes that mix with minicons is too inconsistent IMO though.
