I know this is a really love it or a really hate it thing for this set. I can see why (almost). You have to realise that yes, this is Transformers 30th Ann. AND in the same respect so is 80's Glam/hair Metal! Both of these, for me, helped me through some tough times as a youngster, and still does today. (of course both TF'S and Metal are both evolved for the better). I grew up with a transformer in my hands and Heavy Metal wailin' in my ears! BOTH ARE METAL AS HELL!! I still rock out with my toys out! To me a GEN X'ER, I cant think of a better 30 year tribute to my youth!

I had already been using my daughters toy parts to make my current TF'S rock away with drum sticks and guitars from the Bratts Doll line and they are all posed out in Metal attire and equipment. Hasbro just made my fantasy a reality!! I just pre-ordered 2 sets, 1 to collect and one to display with my Metal collection.

I am just greatful they didn't try a One Direction theme...oh dear god.. I hope they don't get any ideas!

Now if they would just do a Death/Black metal version with all Decepticons and decked out in the Black and White face paint......I would go Nuts and buy them all!

I guess its really a matter of tastes (or whether your gen x or gen y) when it comes to this Crazy set!

I love my Music! I love my Transformers! ..and I love milk and cookies too! I guess it shows I am Gen X to the core.

As far as collector value goes...only time will tell...but it is priceless to me!!

Now will someone do up a Trypticon that transforms into a cool Stage!!! That would be the 'Rainbow in the Dark'

 

The way you put it, it does sound great but not $200 great.

 

I caved in and bought it, but late Saturday when Hasbro was requiring no tickets and had no line. They were also doling out the free CD's at the time as well. Granted I had to ship it home and probably saved maybe 10 bucks compared to ordering it from BBTS.

 

Sounds like there will be plenty of these available on HTS.

Pass. I'll wait for clearance.

 

Talking to multiple hasbro guys at the show, this was the least popular thing at their booth. They should have plenty available when it goes up.

 

Hm, i kinda like the idea actually, but the hair just looks off. It's funny and all but when humor ruins the quality of the figure it becomes less funny.

 

You can literally make these on your own.

 

Which you could also do with any repaint...

 

True. But I thought there would at least be some unique molding for a set like this.

 

Still nothing on HTS or did I miss them?

 

Mattell's not doing their post SDCC sale till 8/4 for subscribers and 8/5 for gen. I haven't seen anything from Hasbro yet.
