YEAH!

Ok got an update I got my crane and dump truck to connect I was actually doing it wrong when you put yours together you will probably see what I was doing. But that makes me feel a lot better about my set but the left arm still doesn't connect very well the right arm is great

Ok got the left arm to go in good to there is a small button you have to push to release the arm but if yo press it to insert the arm it goes in better but in the instruction they only say to press the button to remove. So honestly IMO giant is turning out to be really nice I mean I love my herc but the shoulder articulation is superior on giant. We are gonna get some nice poses as long as the leg come out just the same

Phew - you had me worried there. I have a lot of respect for the 'early adopter' pioneers who have to deal with QC issues on initial runs. Although it does seem that maketoys are good about remedying problems (as are the other reputable 3rd parties)

The only other set I have of theirs is battle tanker but I was getting pretty upset my self because I watched videos and he looked pretty good then I get mine and I'm like WTF did I get the one defective one. I've heard horror stories about some of the figures I own but I never had a problem but I was really starting to think it was my turn lol. Also I modded the head so it can lift up straight it's very easy all you need is a dremel or an exacto knife you just have to shave of a little plastic on the back of the whole where the ball joint meets the head. I only messed with it because they are giving us a new head anyways

Hey! We're constructicons... Might as well put us to work...

After seeing the side by sides of the yellow and green, I'm definitely getting the green one now. $355 plus shipping ain't a bad little deal.

I really like how the individual bots look. I'm eagerly awaiting Green.

I just hope for Green that all the faces get red eyes and bright silver faces? We haven't seen all the final green prototype ones, but it look like Bulldozer still has the blue eyes....still crossing my fingers though....

MakeToys is in the middle of distributing their yellow version of Giant with Set "B" consisting of Mobile Crane and Dump Truck currently hitting online retailers. According to MakeToys the green version of Giant will be released as giftset featuring all six figures later this year. Images mirrored below.

Update: MakeToys have now released official versions of these images and announced these will be released as one set priced at 31,500 Yen (approx $386.50).

That is very interesting to see. I like it and I also want know something about it. I think you have more knowledge about it, so would you like to share your knowledge with me? I really excited to know about it.
