    Constructor best mode is Devastator ,I'd buy this set just for combiner mode although I love Constructicons. I'd like that they could re-release single bots as Shovel and other ones in single package,because whole combiner is too exprensive. Also yellow one is tempting for prices other recent ones are too expensive.

    About Shovel,from Emgo's videos transforming him appears easy :)  ,I coul buy him anyway also a single Shovel to add my Scrapper collection. Do you know if some of these toys have reported problems?I had read that for some 3rd party Constructicons as a Scavenger or Gravity Builder Scraper needed replacement parts in some cases,hope to buy a good Shovel.

    Perfect Edition my ass. Whoever gets this is stupid at this point. sorry, but it's true.

    Anyone who's already owned constructor knows how many QC issues it's consistently littered with so what is this now Version 20?

    Anyway, point is, it's not needed. Move on already Toyworld. Give it up. Retire the molds already and move forward.

    At this point, you're just being stupid because you have the cash to do so. Must be nice.

    Well, of course its not going to be "perfect". That's called marketing. Also, why should they retire him? People are still buying him out of their own volition. I mean, you may disagree with their aesthetic judgment and whatnot, but as long as he sells they'll be releasing him, and that's their prerogative.

    :lol  geez dude. Normally I’d scroll past posts like this, but this is just blatantly wrong. Chill.


    I have this on my radar. Having a season 1 Masterpiece cast is still an itch and I feel like this might be a worthy purchase to scratch the itch.

    I don’t want them to retire it for 1 reason, and one reason alone.


    It has to eventually drop in price...... right?....RIGHT?

    If anything it went up, preorders for the yellow set were at 300, now it's nearly $500 for pretty much any set.

    There was a stretch where several retailers had it for well under $400. I just missed on that price point and had to shell out for the V2 boxed set a year r so later.

    Well, seems like it’s been long enough to warrant some price drops again.

    I would agree if there was a ton of unsold stock like Gabriel but they keep making small production runs and demand seems to still be out there.

    Dang. I preordered the Perfect edition but now I can’t stop looking at that Cel shaded version. What’s $200 more? $700 is still in the range of FT combiners/Dibots (retail anyways).

    I only recently got back into MPs and another thing I learned is, if it's Fans Toys it may take awhile for it to come. lol. Constructor looks good enough for me, and looks good with Bruticon. /le shrug.
    I'm not against getting multiple of combiners & their teams though...

    They continue to sell so why wouldn't they keep making them? I'm no fan of the company, but as long as they sell, I can't fault them for making them. I can fault them for their QC, but all the non-clear green sets sell out despite it.

    From the ShowZStore thread:
    @ShowZStore Will you be carrying the Perfect Edition of Constructor? Toyworld TW-C07X Constructor Perfect Edition Images - Transformers News - TFW2005

    And is there any more information about some of the other previously announced versions? Such as [Pre-Order] Toyworld TW TW-C07G TWC07G Constructor Devastator Old Green Version Set of 6

    Thank you.
    I contacted TW and not sure if they will let us sell the C07X since this is order made by TFS

    No extra info about the C07G

    — well that’s an interesting twist. I’m not sure I want this enough to a) buy through TFSource and b) pay the sales tax bc it’s from TFSource.

    This is an update from ShowZ after another inquiry, after they said they’d have it listed in 48 hours. I guess they reached out to Toyworld and were told that TFS has some kind of exclusivity? What’s bizarre is Terry from Terry’s TFS World was actually the first to list this, albeit in very limited quantities. I missed the boat on his preorder bc I mistakenly assumed it would go to wide release and I wanted to buy from a larger domestic retailer given the history of QC problems for this mold.
