Not a good way to run a line.

Looks like I will have to shell out 300 for city commander after all...yay... :BANG_HEAD:

you could buy a new one, and the United Magnus, should be much less than $300. well, okay, not "much less" but enough to buy a deluxe and a happy meal or something.


Megs, I'm not sure why you keep going back to this $300 price point. Others have shown you that the City Commander set with the add-on pieces isn't marked up like the original run of it is. Assuming you're in the US, follow this link, look at the bottom right of the page where the vendor is helpful in suggesting buying this + the Asian exclusive UM = $219.94.

http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/847/

Again, with the assumption you're in the US, shipping will be free if you choose this option. The completed Ultra Magnus will be roughly Ultra Class size and it's a damn good placement in someone's Classics collection. Just don't keep him posed with the BFG lifted it, it'll kill UM's arm joint.

Back on topic, no news yet regarding the FoC upgrade but considering the impish deluxe size of the OP/UM figure, I don't see this figure getting larger than Voyager. Still interested, but just because they haven't given an estimated release date doesn't mean the project has been abandoned.

Methinks this particular image might be a preliminary "teaser" for this here teaser: transformazing-toys-foc-optimus-prime-trailer-armor-t92689.php

After all, actoys is NOT a third-party entity, but a site for third-party news. Of course, I could be wrong.

I'm sold, just please, let's have the armor turn into a trailer that makes the vehicle mode look more like the concept art for the game!

Oh Wow! I didnt see the option to buy both down there. So Ill get the whole thing for just over 200? Thats actually very reasonable for me.
What were you sasying would kill the arm joint again? Did you mean holding that big honking gun?
I cant for the life of me understand why people will try to sell this set on ebay for 300 plus loose when you can get it new for 200.
Ebay was where I got that price. I have had to do Most my shopping fom ebay.

Megs, where do you usually shop? Giant has never been over $400 has it? Are you getting confused with Hercules?

Anyway, yeah, I shop at TFSource a lot, they're pretty decent on selection and pricing and have great customer service.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

LOL Until a few weeks ago I shopped almost exclusively at ebay. I know herc is comprised of voyager figures and that he goes for about 600. Thats why I was shocked to see make toys devestator for about the same on ebay.
Any time I go to the main places that seibertron supports they are sold out for loooong periods of time and if you arent fast youll miss their restocks.
I also need the insecticons by fans project. The best price I say on ebay was 350 not including shipping. I havnt found an online store with them in stock either but dont mind waiting for their restock.
Thanks for the links guys really. I apreiciate you helping a brother out! :D

TFsource is the way to go they even do free shipping after $150. And this Magnus armour looks like it might have folded no updates or nothing.

I ordered it back in December. Still no news. The page says, back in January, that it was delayed. I really thought I'd have it by now.

You can actually order it already? How? Could you provide me with the link you unes please?
Is it often that things are announced and available for preorder only to cave later? If so, How do you get a refund?
I love the price for the city commander in that link but if I can get this for fiftyish dollars then that would be even better!

I will believe it when I see it not in a stupid silhouette advertisement because that's pretty much two teasers and nothing much else. I don't preorder anything unless i get a solid look at what is going to be

I don't blame you in the slightest. This stuff runs expensive, nobody wants to spend that much without knowing what they're getting into.

No one here is an expert (to my knowledge), think of it more like... educated guesses.

In any case, never say never. Teaser images sometimes stew in the pot for a year before finally being realized. Only time will tell to be sure.
