I'm kind of feeling the same way you are TT24. I'm getting tired of seeing almost completed pictures. I just want to see the final product and have it in my hands.

I know this thing is big, but being built with 6 voyagers, I was hoping it would be a little bigger. (always wanting more..I know I know)

i thought he was going to be just as big as supreme class. but its good that he is a little bit smaller. that puts him in scale with everthing else.

Lookin' pretty drool-worthy!

green shovel please!

"I really can't give Hasbro a pass on this anymore. I have a hard time believing that they have a more limited budget than these guys, it just doesn't make sense. I remember sitting at Botcon 2007 when they told us that the gestalts were just too complicated for their designers to do in their time frame. I'm gonna have to call bull on them. The transformations for Hercules are not all that complicated, but they are very effective. So Hasbro is telling me that they're paid designers can't do what a couple of guys in China who are basically doing what amounts to guerilla warfare with toys are doing.

Time to step it up boys."

I agree with you. Hasbro is telling us that its too complicated and professional designers can't tackle this problem but third parties designer can do it, what kind of BS is that. I know that want to make figures compatible to all ages but cant they see that its the fan that will really spend money on these thing. I feel like Hasbro is just not as good as it use to be at designing these figures. Im one of your biggest fan and you're leting down Hasbro.

Because Hasbro has to build toys to a specific price-point.

If this thing hit Walmart or Toy R Us with its $600.00 price tag no one would buy it. Hell, most stores probably wouldn't even wanna stock it since it is so far outside the price range most consumers will pay for a toy.

When you are building a toy to a particular price point you need to make sure you don't over-invest in designing and manufacturing the toy so that the toy remains profitable to sell. 3rd parties have less constraints in this regard, especially if said 3rd party don't have a whole lot of overhead costs such as labor, facilities, etc to worry about.

Interesting still but I figured this guy would tower over Unicron. But I'm still with the few and hold out for the MakeToys Devy...'nuff said!

Thats what she said

Moving on I agree with you this thing is huge

I got HeavyLabor in the mail Wednesday and he is awesome!

I just need Hook to be able to form a passable Devastator on the shelf.

I'll have him behind the rest of my Decepticons so you won't notice the lack of actual legs and missing arm.

My 11 year old self is finally getting the Devastator he's always wanted.
