Who sells it on AliExpress....is it a safe website to order from?

 

There’s giftlove store and smartlulup. Links to their listings have been posted in the thread, but they aren’t available for purchase right now. They’re expected to get more stock in a week or two.

Both sellers have been reliable based on my experience and I’ve seen many others on the forums continue to recommend them.

 

That's my problem with this downsized set. There will be no upgrades like the DNA and Perfect Effect kits. Which means, this will have all of the shortcomings of the CW set before the upgrades. (Horrible hands and shoulders in combined mode, stubby cement mixer foot, horrible individual robot arms, no decent weapons for the individual bots etc)

BUT, I think I will get this set eventually just to have the individual Constructicons.

 

Still questioning if they're going to hold a potential second release with Takara tooling/DNA kit integration hostage though...

 

Thanks for your Aliexpress advice!!

 

Every year, buying TFC Hercules looks more and more to be the biggest waste I ever made on a TF -_-.

 

These figure are great.

 

Really? Every month a new member of that team came out felt like an event. It was a microcosm of everything to come. Every rant about scale, every argument about colour, every sodding QC issue conceived.. it can be traced back to that thing.

Heh.

But seriously, it was a great time to buy into the 3P game and Hercules was a genuine game changer for TF collecting. It's a great piece to have in a collection.

 

honestly , I love my Hercules, hes a great toy that I bought just last year. In fact I bought two sets. Then I bought all the g1 upgrades that were made for both sets and then, bought the reprolables too for both sets . Hes a great toy. As far as I am concerned in combined mode and and vehicle mode he is perfect in my book. The bot modes are the only thing that i was not perfectly content with. This downsized one fills that need for me. Had this one came out first, I probably wouldnt have bought him but I cant say really anything bad about it.

 

Yeah, me too.

 

Got my three sets in from sir toys about three hours ago , Really happy so far with it and sir toys

 

You got 3 sets?
Leave some for the rest of us.  

 

hahaha, I always buy three of everything. one for my boy, one for his kids someday and one for my girls kids someday . Want to continue the g1 love for a long time.

I actually have three of every g1 cartoon continuity character now, except for Blue Bacchus and Minerva .

 

Where’s your copy?? So cool of you to think into the future like that.  

 

LOL I actually have none anymore, everything I had was either given to my boy or sold so I could buy new versions of those characters for my boy. But I DO spend a lot of time in his room cleaning his shelves, arranging those shelves and just looking at them LOL

 

I’ve been waiting for something like this. Wish they had done the DNA kit, but this guy will just be on a shelf with my other UW/CW combiners somIm sure it will be fine. Now I just need to find a place for my original one.

 

What are chances of some company doing a version of the upgrade kits?

 

really really hope they do one, But the chances, I THINK, is slim. but i know nothing too, so take it what you will. ASK all of those upgrade kits companies to do it !

On facebook or whereever, I did, if enough people ask them, they might do it. While you are at it, ask reprolables/toyhax to do their set too
