    I stand corrected then..

    Let's hope that's really not the case. You have a point, but at the same time, iirc, I could've sworn someone on here said something a while back that the first 2 bots of the set through ShowZ was around between $110-120. If anything, the last bot should be about the same. RK has him on preorder for $123. And I think a couple other sites had him around that range too. But for the rhino to be $30-40 more than the first two bots, there's something we're probably missing here. But that's just me..

    What you're missing is Cangtoys exploiting FOMO, cause who the hell is gonna NOT buy the rhino when they already have all the other pieces? They're getting a few extra bucks out of you cause at this point you're already invested in the completed set and they know that.

    Said it before but... I'd be interested in a downscaled / possibly simplified version of this combining sword set

    Good point there. I mean, we did start this set so might as well finish what we started, right? As long as the rhino himself doesn't charge us too much, I think we should be fine :D 

    I think at some point in the future, they might consider it. I don't see why they wouldn't. Still waiting to see how the final 2 pieces for Thundermini have turned out. They'll go great alongside their MP counterparts..

    I want to repeat that I’m not seeing a significant price increase for Hugerhino at my local retailer in Asia. He’s about 10 USD more expensive than Landbull. I’d wait until other big retailers start listing their prices before getting out the pitchforks. 150 USD might just be a ShowZ thing.

    Showz and bbb have sold cang-toys at very reasonable prices. My bet is we will be pleasantly surprised

    I'm not happy about the price hike on the limbbot….but, to be fair, Ferocious was released three years ago. Even back then, this was looked at as a GREAT value between price and quality. A lot has happened since then to make prices go up. $150 seems like about what these figures SHOULD cost if you're not looking at what they USED to cost. To keep it in perspective, the original prices of the limb bots were slightly more than what MMC was charging for each bot on their Feral Rex set three or four years earlier, which is just crazy to think. I LOVE my Feral Rex still….but there's no way they should be similarly priced, let alone six years later.

    On another note…..was perusing the thread's earlier posts and how prophetic is this one?
    Nice call @axisvega . Looks like you got almost exactly what you wanted (minus color scheme, of course).

    I think, another Complaint is that the
    "Pack as much as possible, to increase Price".
    is the "Unfair Cheating" here.

    It would not be that much of a Problem,
    if they had Distributed the Weapon Amount
    Equally across all Figures.

    It would have been a better Logistical Step,
    to add 1 more Sword and 1 more Gun to ThorGorilla Package and thus raising the ThorGorilla about 5$, rather than PUMP all remaining Stuff into 1 Package and asking for more 50$ overall.

    It feels like a.....Punishment somehow.

    It will happen.

    1) A 3rd Party Company NEVER did let an Combiner
    unfinished

    2) TFC can NOT start the next Combiner Project,
    if the Previous one is unfinished. They never did.
    Before they move on to next Project
    (Maybe Bruticus, Computron, Menasor or Raiden),
    they have to finish Abominus first.

    3) Yes, the Price on Hung Gurr. Dear Lord, I hope
    it does not Sky Rocket to 200$. I expected something of 110$, considering that the Limb Bots were 75$ each.

    Haha...it was a real pain in the lion's arse. Transformed Thorilla and the preda-slippers last night ...as much as the ingenuity is amazing, the pain in my hands and fingers and lack of enjoyment from wedging parts into place negates the fun. Just glad I am done with the monkey business :p :mad: ;)  Headstrong should be much easier and I won't have to throw a tantrum and rampage and use a razor to claw things apart. I just might divebomb this if its too hard.

    I appreciate the reassurances... and it's true "ever" is not "never" but I'm thinking of that Hot Spot figure needed to complete someone's Not-Defensor. Wasn't it years between it and the previous piece?

    Anyway, I've been following this thread a long time and am happy for those invested in this MASSIVE piece that they are getting to complete it.
