    Anyway to pass on this survey to TFC :p  Who knows...they may listen...yeah right. I'm expecting it to be similar to herc, but if the rest of the planes look as good as Fireflight and Air RRaid, it's a good buy!

    It's funny to see people debating price in one thread and the size of the figures in another.
    How can you stat a price for something if you dont know how big it is.

    Me personally I don't want the arialbots bigger then the deluxe seekers so Im shooting for a 60-70 price range.

    Realistically, the detail on the figures from the pictures puts them closer to voyager sized so I expect to pay 75-90 for the limbs

    I would assume if the figures are similar to build and construction as the Hercules bots, they will be similar in cost too.

    Doesn't matter to me what they cost at first. No doubt I'll just wait until they're about $350-$400 like you can now get Hercules for.

    Honestly, I don't see how it would matter. These poll shouldn't be taken all that seriously. We have 101 votes, but only 34 of the voters actually took the time to say something about their votes--but how many of these people are actually going to purchase this set? A few folks here have already made up their minds, but many here haven't. I myself want to see the price first, and the quality second. I said so before, but I'll say so again, Hercules has left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, as I'm still waiting for TFC Toys via Robot Kingdom to send me my replacement piece--I've been waiting 5 months now:mad 

    Should I purchase this set, it'll be after it comes out and all problems have been fixed. D.I.Y. Hercules isn't what was advertised and not exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I have him, sure, but he was more work than anyone paying as much as many did for him should have to do. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more that feel the same way as I do.

    I voted "$50-$70 per limb and $70-$90 for torso," because after fees from sellers, it'd be about what sellers are selling other 3rd party figures for, around $90 a limb (Hercules)

    Well considering the limbs are supposedly the same size as Herc's limbs, I'd be willing to pay 70-90 for each, and seeing as how the torso has to be a lot bigger to make up for everything, paying more for it. I really hope that I can just order/preorder them all as a set and get everything at once. I'd be willing to pay $485-$515 for the whole shebang.

    I think I'd quite like the figure, but having just come off Hercules, Hegemon and Steel Core, I don't think I could justify anything above $300. Not that I'm miserly, but other priorities are taking over : /

    All depends on Silverbolt---if he has no more kibble than the limb-jets we've seen, I will absolutely definitely buy the whole set.

    But if they keep him a skinny tubular Concorde for "Geewun" reasons, and that requires a G1 amount of robot kibble hanging below and out to the sides in jet mode---that'll just ruin it, for me at least.

    Really herc was a smaller run which would add to the price, so the need/cost effectiveness for a second run. They have a fan base now, they can pull off a bigger production run and retailers will pick up the stock. Also they have more knowledg of design, marking and sales etc so I can see the costs going down. Now weather they pass any of the saving on to us is another question but given the real biggest grip about herc seemed to be its not worth $600+ it'll cost lowing the price could well help them sell more and make more money. Really I hope they do what ever is most cost effective for them so they can keep on producing these and maybe have a real go at a dinobots combiner cos that one they did as part of star q or what ever its called doesn't cut it.
