    I wouldn't count on these upscaled minis to be $15 shipped anymore. In fact Rager and Spray were bumped up to $18 shipped thru IGear correct? At Scout size I expect these guys to be around $30 shipped at the most.

    I love it so much. The new size is perfect. I think I'll keep HFTD Seaspray and Universe Powerglide the sizes they are. I don't mind my Minibots being on steroids.

    Size does not dictate price, engineering and part count does. Ug anything I can see these at 20 not 30.

    iGear's prices almost always go up a few dollars more once the product starts shipping initially.

    So do I :p  I guess we will know for sure in the next little while.

    It would be wise for iGear to follow through with their low price on these things. I think a lot of people jumped on board becuase of the price, I know I did.

    Yep, the cheap price is what drew me in as well. The fact that they're made of pure win was just a bonus.:lol

    If this ends up being cheap enough, I just might consider it. It looks absolutely awesome, and it's just big enough so that I'm not worried that it would look ridiculously tiny in my collection.

    I would rather get these in a box not and not piecemeal. As of now it's a pass

    Wasn't planning on getting this, but it looks really good. And the bigger size is a definitive plus.

    If the price is still good ($ 20 tops) then it's a definitive buy.


    But I'm bit frustrated that they apparently aren't planning on making a Gears. Together with Brawn that's the mini-vehicle I most want.

    If he's anything like their Huffer or Seaspray, you're in for a real treat. THe price point is excellent, and the quality and design of the toy are just amazing. It looks like iGear is upping the bar with their Brawn and Cosmos, both seem to have more paint, they are slightly larger in scale...this is going to be a HUGE success for iGear.

    I can't wait for them to do ALL the mini-bots!

    I agree with this post. My only issue with Spray and Rager was their size, I'm of the school that they are too small. Even then the fandom seems split on the size being either perfect or two small, thus it being a small issue. That said, they upped the size for my side of the fandom so now there is zero issues.

    These guys are solid, look amazing, and even the transformations are neat, not difficult by any stretch of the imagination, but neat. They also come with weapons which is a huge bonus. Even Classics BB and CJ are missing weapons.

    I welcome the upscale with open arms and I hope they keep the price as low as they had it because that was my main reason for jumping on board.

    I think the original 8 shown were a test run and now seeing as these guys are going to sell a boat load of each figure I can assume that iGear is smart enough to tackle the rest. I also (and this will be the only time) encourage iGear to "borrow" the Windcharger mould and give us a Tailgate.(I don't know why Hasbro is constantly throwing away Scout moulds like a WC repaint to TG and FRumble) I want me all the Minibots in Scout sized and I want them from iGear.
