    $50 a pop per section?! :sly: 

    BOUGHT! :bowdown: 

    I just hope that they sprend out the release dates per section a little, so as I can afford to buy each one as they come out, and not as one lump release for all 3 at the same time. It'll be too expensive otherwise. :redface2: 

    Bah! Who I'm kidding? It'll be bought regardless. :ev:

    I can do $50 per chunk for this assuming it comes with a decent amount of panels, it's like the ultimate Classics dream come true...
    (man i hope Hasbro goes back to the Classic well again next year...)

    just hope they have a nice finish to them...

    So are these actually going to be TF-005, TF-006 and TF-007 as seperate pieces?

    If not, then why did they skip TF-005 and TF-006? I don't recall seeing anything about either of those yet.

    Wow! That's fantastic!

    Will get, if the price is good.

    And if I do, my TFs can finally stop crashing on the Death Star and G.I.Joe's Transportable Tactical Battle Platform. :D

    If the price is as said...$50 a piece (300 for both sets) Then I am buying these sets without a secodn thought.

    As mentioned before though, I can't see it being much more, it is just a bunch of detailed plastic slabs. Not to put this set down because it is F'n brilliant.

    Thanx

    That......is awesome. Time to make a fiberglass and foam rock ceiling. I think that $10 t-rex in rock at TRU would make a great addition behind a wall.

    I say this as someone who owns the iGear Ark Playset: When it comes to the 'Cons I just ordered a bunch of Gundam Machine Chain Bases and saved myself the inevitable disappointment of purple walls that don't fit together right and stickers that fall off.

    Yeah. I posted this in another thread, they said that they don't have any plans to do the Cons playset. Said the demand was to low, and the cost to make them didn't warrant them to be made.

    The demand was low because the price when it first came out was too high and there are no directions for it and it is a pain to put together.These companies never look at there faults and blame it on lack of demand

    This set only had TWO Faults, maybe three.

    Fault 1 this is the biggest but with such a small fix. The pieces didn't fit
    well. I applied 1 drop of Krazy glue to each connection point and the playset
    became solid enough to carry with one hand. AKA it is now one solid piece, and by gluing it, for some reason, it became super flat, straight edged and sexy, the way it was intended to be.

    Fault 2 The stickers fell off. I'm sure getting better stickers won't increase price
    of production at all.

    Fault 3 I will mention this because it did bother people. You need instructions.

    Seeing as the mould already exists I don't see why iGear won't put out the Decepticon set. Just inform people that some construction is required. Hell I don't even need the computer and the awesome Megatron thrown. Just give me purple walls so I can have a matching display for my Classic Decepticons.

    iGear I beg you....PUT OUT THE DECEPTICON SET!!!

    Thanx

    I would really like to pick this up but dropping $100 on this with all the United figures coming out. Well it just is not going to happen. :(

    Part of the set appeal to me was that it was modular and I'd be able to adjust it as my collection got periodically rearranged. I have found a stable way to display it, but I hesitate to move it now and it's kind of irritating.

    Conversely, I would love to buy the throne on it's own for about $20 or so.

    If it's a throne that'll seat Alternity Megatron I'd be game.

    I'm a playset-whore so I loved the Ark set and would pick up the 'Con one in a heartbeat, but if they lost money on the first outing, I can't blame them for not wanting to try again...

    The only draw back to the set, once it is glued and one super stable piece (I really want to stress that because that was the main complaint), you can not rearrange it.

    It is too bad this set had it's flaws. It originally generated a lot of hype. I think the amount of negativity about this set was more so because it became "IN" to hate on it. I wish it had more appeal because I really want the Decepticon version. I guess I can put that on the same shelf as my Animated Omega Supreme and Animate Constructicons.:(  (the shelf obviously doesn't exist)
