    Man, 5 bucks a legion. about time these things were fairly priced, 8 bucks a legion is too much.

    Good thing I like the individual figures a fair bit because that... 'combined' mode is dire.

    Every one of these dudes short of Sinnertwin is a struggle to find in singles. Really hope I can scoop up this boxset.

    Have they even been sighted at US retail? I don't remember seeing any reports.

    I gave up and went through BBTS.

    Where are Legions priced for $8 at retail? Or are you referring to BBTS?

    It's hilarious just how little of the box he fills...

    ...

    I'm still buying it when I find it. Don't care if they're translucent plastic, it's way better than only being able to find Twinstrike wherever you go.

    I sincerely don't understand why that combined mode is so hated. It just... fits. It's a beastly, grotesque abomination. I love it.

    Want it in deluxe size.

    why were these released single carded? I only saw 2 at retail and I bought them waiting to make the complete combiner. were all of them available single carded?

    now they have a box set? why do they have to eff with people so much? just make good product and make it available. if I stop collecting or buying these for my son, these types of practices will be WHY.

    All five of them were released single carded. People have been able to order all of them online even though they all haven't necessarily hit retail stores.

    Freaking out about it won't change that.

    freaking out? really? exaggerate much?

    im just tired. hardly "freaking out." sometimes I look at it from a normal person's perspective and not someone who scours the internet daily for the newest transformer toy info.
