    So how do you feel when the upgrade cost almost matches the cost of the original, loose figures? Personally, I find that rather sad. I have said it once and I will say it again: this one upgrade kit at a time business is going to be the death of Crazy Devy.

    Also I don't find LED eyes as much of an upgrade. At least not worth the $30 price tag or so. I'd rather see an upgrade that adds something useful to the figure (new thighs, hands, etc).

    I really hope they make a more in-scale sword for Predaking, that's all I'm asking for

    To each their own.

    It doesn't bother me at all that these upgrades cost more than the original figure itself because I'm just thankful that somebody is actually doing something to enhance the appeal of a toy that I grew up with in the 80's.

    25 years later, people still give a damn and that's cool.

    Besides, collecting Transformers isn't the cheap and you don't have to buy it if you don't like it.

    As for the LED eyes, they just look awesome and give it that cool factor IMO.

    LOL, I know collecting Transformers, especially G1 TFs, is not cheap. I just feel Crazy Devy won't be in business much longer if they continue with this release pattern. Quite frankly, I'm shocked they haven't alienated more of their customer base.

    I like LED eyes too, but not for $30. Heck, that head for Predaking looks just like the original head. Not much difference at all. At least the Devastator LED head is more show accurate.

    All my complaining aside, I think these guys make quality kits. Haven't heard any issues regarding quality. So that is big plus (unlike the recently released Impossible Toys Arcee).

    Looks like I'll have to cancel this since it won't be matching the new metallic shade that the 2010 version will be. I guess we'll get a CDMW-10* by Christmas then:lol

    I don't know if i'll buy all that stuff but I want those massive Cannons!!! Hopefully, they will be black so I don't have to worry about color matching with the new Predaking reissue.

    oh wow, all these years and I never even noticed it was ever missing from the figure. Plus, looking at that silhouette, I cant wait to finally get rid of the "monkey arms" look that has always bothered me about the Predaking figure. I'm so ready for this set:rock

    Anybody have any comparison pics between this and the original Predaking head? I guess all the Crazy Devy youtube reviews were taken down and that was the only place I remember seeing some.
