You must be talking about one of the funky ugly colored ones? They don't have a single piece of the proper colored Piranacon in stock, not a one  

 

Sorry I wasn't aware that it was sold out there... But nope, I was talking about the original, but unfortunately it is now gone... Well at least it sold very well. The all black one is quite cool if you really want to get one.

 

There is one left!

TFC Toys - Poseidon - Set of 6 Figures - Loose Complete

 

Has anybody ever ordered 'guaranteed vintage' products from tfsource? Since they're asking full original retail price.

 

I bought my set back in Nov from TFSource. Why do you ask?

 

This one is marked vintage with some special notes. I am guessing it was bought from somebody who had them (original owner or something) and is being resold.

 

It says that it has never been opened or something like that, you can contact them for more information.

 

Caved in and ordered this guy from Onedaybid over Xmas, and I got him a couple of days ago. Figures were all pristine, boxes in good condition. No complaints at all.

Gorgeous figure, looks awesome either separately or combined. I love that detailed techno/organic look, and I've spent ages swapping the limbs around, just seeing how he looks with various configurations. Still wish he matched size with OS gravity Builder and the other 18'' combiners, but I have a few smaller combiners now so he doesn't look too bad.

Biggest problem is how sodding spikey this guy is. Cut my fingers in a few places just transforming the bugger. Also the transformations were trickier than I'd like, but overall, very happy with this guy. I'd take some pics, but I've not got around to putting up my new display shelves (wonder why!  ).

 

I have all my combiners in the same size as this guy and this is probably the combiner I will keep if I have to choose one. Just look so awesome.

 

I like all the sharp spikes and teeth this set has, visually speaking is quite cool, but I agree that handling them requires caution.

 

I’ll have this set to look at but don’t touch, and the Seacons to Mess around without risking Impaling my hands.

 

Whelp just took the plunge and grabbed him. First TFC unit, hope he's awesome. Bought for the Seacons more than Piranacon.

 

they're awesome and be careful while transforming them, there be some serious sharp pieces

 

Has anybody heard of these breaking? TFC is notorious for stress marks, but has anybody heard of them actually failing? I know their Hound was junk but that was an older generation unit I think. Are the Seacons solid? Just wondering if I should keep the transforming to a minimum.

 

none of mine have broken, and that is with a 6 foot fall to a hard floor in combined mode. worst that happened was the feet fell off the combined mode on impact

 

Ouch, glad it's ok. Bobby Skullface's also took a tumble off the top of a tall bookshelf AND got it's spine Batman'd over the back of a chair (Bane style) on the way down, he also thought it was ultimately ok.

But his review unit of Astaroth had stress marks everywhere, wonder if the Terrorcons have the same plastic as the Seacons - sounds like those are pretty tough.

 

Watch the dorsal fin on Bigbite. That's the only common stressed piece I know of. I filed down mine a bit to reduce stress. Breakages there aren't common, but aren't one-offs either.

 

The only damage I've noticed was from my hands when playing around with this set.

 

I can vouch for these things drawing blood, though a bit different. I had a finger behind Snap Trap's robot knee joint when I was bending it for a pose. One click later, and the parts pinched a chunk of skin enough to cause a puncture.

I love how pointy and sharp the figures are, though. Lots of respect for it, almost like it actually makes them fierce instead of just looking the part. Still waiting for copies of Nautilator and Tentakil to be reproduced.

 

Watch out for Seawings super pointy tail piece as well. That bastard tried to Steve Irwin me.
