    $333.70 after tax and shipping. I'll finally have a non bayverse devastator. Great price from BBTS. If was impatient. I could get the mouse pad version. From TCP for $50 more...

    I need to find a spot for this now. Maybe my cubicle, not sure.

    Does anyone know Gravity Builder’s exact height from his feet to the top of his head when attached to his upgrade knees? I’ve seen various measurements for him but it’s often unclear if they are measuring to the top of his head or to the tallest point of his shoulders. Thanks!

    So this just hit my POL. btw neither of the heads (the stock nor the included upgrade kit head) are g1 cartoon deco heads huh? seems like none have that silver forehead (for reference the 86 movie had teh best drawn devy in g1 i think). seems like the upgrade kit head is close except for coloration? anyone use alternate heads? and where from? TIA.

    How long does BBTS take to ‘process’ payments? I want to get this sucker shipped!

    Same.

    Though I was expecting (hoping) for Hunk when I saw a BBTS email.

    I have a POL I asked to ship last week that still hasn't shipped. They are running pretty slow.

    Can someone please post a picture of the upgrade kit chest piece on him?

    Is it unchromed? Does the purple match the other purple colors?

    I just got mine in today, my first 3P combiner, very pleased and was hyped to get him finally, that $269.99 price was a steal. I am wondering if there is anyway to get the stoic face the original set came with, other than just having to buy the figure it comes with?

    What face does it come with? And isn’t the stoic face in the included upgrade kit?

    Yelling face.

    The upgrade kit has the alternate head but no stoic face I saw.

    Ah, I see. I think of the alternate head as the stoic face.

    Got mine today, too, but I haven’t had the chance to look it over.

    So, when I first opened him and started putting him together properly, since several of the combiner modes were mistransformed i had a heck of a time with the combiner leg ports. I struggled, a lot, i spent more time on that than anything else. I am glad they are tight but there was nothing to grab onto or anyway to use leverage to push them out without potentially damaging it. Then, i decided to look in the upgrade kit, lo and behold, there was a TOOL in there this whole freaking time to move the combiner ports from the leg bots. After getting him together, I soon after took him apart to install the upgrades. Was really impressed, but I actually like the head and chest piece the set comes with more than the G1 versions. Ended up ordering some batteries off Amazon for the light up and drill gimmick.

    I really hope the G2 version of this combiner becomes available again and at a similar price point. I would grab it immediately. I wish I had the funds to buy 2 more sets right now to display in all modes. Perhaps the Jinbao set would suffice for alt modes on a separate shelf, i am primarily a CHUG collector so his combined mode fits right in with my display.

    Does anyone know what the extra pieces are for that come in the little bags? 20200807_002312.jpg

    I don't know about the black part, but the other is from Scavenger's arm kibble and vehicle cover.

    Try the DABAN 1:1 KO. It has the G2 set that comes with drills, swords, axes. Also has G1 colours. You can prob buy at least 2 Daban for the price of 1 GT.

    Question about this alternate head...

    For Hook's Alt mode, is this just a piece that ends up looking down into the vehicle with only the front plate covering it?

    I'd like to retain the integration of the combiner head as much as possible. Seems like swapping it would leave you with three panels on the black box, two of which are removable?

    Lol, ok. When I opened the box those parts were loose along with stuff from the plastic bags that were left open, assumed they were additional pieces...thank you. I never even transformed them out of their limb modes, suppose I should do that!

    Are the thigh extenders the same shade of green? Hard to tell.

    I hadn’t even noticed. But if I really look, I’d say the green on the rest of the figure is just a hair paler than the extensions. Or maybe just more matte. If so it’s barely noticeable.

    In addition, since this thing is comprised of so many parts in so many planes, light hits differently here and there, and shadows are cast in some parts and not in others. So depending on his position and where the light is, there are natural variations in tone. Any subtle differences in paint disappear when the figure is viewed as a whole.
