    This guy. Is. Awesome.

    Absolutely cannot beat the price for a piece this size. He oozes Superion. I have the Zeta figures- I honestly don’t know if I’ll complete the set. For my purposes, he’s absolutely fantastic.

    Zeta Silverbolt will most likely be $135.

    Just because you got it for a better price doesn't make the previous statement true. The retail on this set is $160+ which is not less than a Zeta torso bot. Ebay deals and coupon codes do not change the actual price of an item, you're just receiving it for less than retail. If I wait I can get the first Zeta torso for just over $100.

    Well I've bought 4 sets of these guys at this point so no money saved vs other options but I think they're just perfection.

    For me this hits the sweet spot of looks, function, durability, evoking G1 etc etc.

    If these guys continue upscale facelifts of already good toys they'll have my money every time.

    Hahaha, not much yet, I'm working on a Leader-1 Kit for AirRaid. I haven't decided if that will lead to a full Gobot combiner or not. Leaning towards no, but if I do, it'll probably be mix with WJ molds.

    I'm toying with a Decepticon-Colors Six Wing.

    I keep thinking about a Predator combiner, but 'Bolt isn't a great match for Skyquake at all, and the limb boys ain't much better.

    I love my set. Was even thinking of picking up another set to keep in individual robot mode.

    I adore this set. The changes to silverbolt make the combined mode so much nicer, and he fits so well with combiner wars devastator

    Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, he looks to be sold out with ST. But that's the nest price I've seen so far, so I'll keep watch.

    This set arrived from TCP yesterday and I am very happy with it thus far! The jet modes are solid and nice, and the individual robot modes are stronger than expected. Concord/Silverbolt is the weakest of the five (although fine), which is sadly to be expected since he does the lion's share of forming Jet Commander/Superion; the others are quite poseable and each has a good deal of personality. Materials are exactly what everyone has said, sturdy and weighty. Cannot wait to combine them after work tonight! My fiancée immediately claimed Harrier/Slingshot as her favorite (she likes his head). :)
