    Die Spike... DIE!!! Fall before your Master!

    And take those stoopid yellow rubber boots with you that you always wear!

    Never was a fan of Spike (or his dimwitted daddy) in the toon.

    :p  :D  :p  :D

    I don't mind paying an extra 75 bucks as long as there's something cool about the exo skeleton.

    Has the "exo-skeleton forms trailer" bit been confirmed anywhere? I'd love to know if it actually does something, that's the biggest thing holding me back from this set. Thanks!

    Given there was no indication of it in the 3D renders it remains wild conjecture.

    To be honest, for me, the combiner parts transforming into another trailer seems even worse than them just being a separate standalone piece. If it affects the integrity of the main figure in any way it would be a bad move.

    "Oh no, we have to pay for the combiner parts? I wanted them for free." People these days

    All I know is after seeing the king in person, there is no denying it anymore, he was the best thing I saw at the show and the one I NEOW want a lot once they do a reissue and I can get below msrp again.

    Stall tactic, FT hasn’t figured out the combiner parts or it’s trash and we won’t find out til last limb. They’re freakn Fanstoys they can do what ever they want and we’ll still buy their stuff ;)

    I would have to say that I find this the most likely situation and I've said it for a while (and been bashed for questioning the almighty Dalianjj!) in that by giving no combiner parts with the Team Leader it feels like they don't have a strategy and are leaving their options as open as possible.

    It does mean we are putting a significant amount of faith in Fans Toys! What if the final figure costs $200/£150 or $250/£180? What options will the people who are already 4 figures deep have?

    TBH I think an option would be to pick up the last 2 figures.You'd get both arms, the entire main figure and he'd look pretty much finished. Roadking is just a filler (a pretty heavy one at that!) so you might even be better off! You could attach any MP carbot to the back of the legs with bluetak if you wanted to! :D 
    There's almost no reason to buy the rest if you just want combined mode.

    I don't like these panels on Wildrider.
    FT needs to fix these.
    And also Deadends head needs a better sculpt.

    Hopefully WildRider's plastic ankle joints are stronger, better designed than the ones on XTB WR. Diecast metal foot attached to the leg with a weak, wimpy plastic ankle joint = broken joint.

    The exo skeletons are being designed by Tony Stark. 80 bucks for a snap is cheap.
