I agree on both fronts. I even display my PE with Hercules. Makes Herc look even more huge and kickass.

I'll watch with interest but I'm more looking forward to Their Aerialbots.

I'm looking forward to Reflector, it really is looking good...

I have the PE special 'dark' edition, and, tbh, its too small - every time I take it out, I end up repacking it for fear of losing any parts!

So Viewfinder is bigger than Spyglass and Spectro? FAIL!

You do notice how Viewfinder is the only one standing upright while the other two are crouching?
When you're crouching you're lower tot he ground than when standing upright.

Crouching or not, one is obviously larger than the other two.

I'm pretty sure there are older pics that show the size difference a little better. Too lazy to look for them though. Size aside, I'm passing on them. Rage of Hercules=worthless IMO as well. It's cool they listened to the fan outcry but I think that set diminishes the exact thing that made their take on Devy unique.

When is this set due for release?

Except for the different heights of the robots, this set is looking VERY nice. My biggest concern at this point is that what ought to cost in the $100-$120 range will be somewhere closer to $200, given TFC's tendency to inflate their prices. I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise...

Dammit, I thought someone had posted new pictures and all I found was a new comment. This forum system doesnt work when youre just looking for news on one particular product.

I'm pretty sure these are new pictures, and it's looking pretty good to me. I may get this .

...as far as I can see, they're new pics...

The more I see of this set, the more I'm liking it -

....and I liked it to begin with!

Uhm... Yes, I posted new pics.

Well, I even giot the Iron Army so It's really going to come down to price. It looks great, I will want it but can I afford it in the blizzard of other 3rd party stuff I'm working through when the PE set - however small - is already on my shelf and doing a fine job by me?

Don't get gready TFC.......

Hurry Up and Take My Money, TFC.

I'd love a dead-on G1 Cartoon Masterpiece version, but I'm not holding my breath for that. In any case this looks fantastic.

The more I see, the more I am getting turned off. It definitely looks nice, but it doesn't see to fit the bill of what I am looking for: Anime accurate bots and the PE one doesn't cut it either.

What page are they ? On page 1 all I saw was the old pics. Let me go back and look again.

Edit:

i see the difference now but they look similar to the last batch of pics. I was looking for color prototypes by now.

The weibo link ? Dont you have to have a Weibo account to view them ? Ive wanted to open one but there is no english translation on Weibo.

Edit:

i finally saw the new pics. Im not a fan of the black camera. I wanted G1 colors.

Nope, I meant the link contained in the word these in my quoted post above. It's a direct link to the post containing the new pics in this very topic (no Weibo account required as I saw them yet I have no Weibo account myself).

Gotcha. Just curious, does anyone know how to open a weibo account without knowing Japanese. How are these news crews getting on Weibo ?

I have not seen this mentioned yet and figured this would be the best spot. Robotkingdom now has TFC-07 listed as in stock. So within a week or to the other dealers should start receiving their stock.

Edit: Just noticed that they have a lot of things listed as in stock that are really just preorders so I may have jumped the gun on this, I don't browse their site often enough.

Yeah, I'm afraid you've jumped the gun. RobotKingdom's 'In Stock' status denotes that they have a product available to order whether it is in-hand stock or numbers they are expecting to receive. The title of the listing and the description both state that it's still a pre-order.
