Right now my biggest concern is whether Metroplex has enough holes for everything.

I don't have a Metroplex in had yet, so I shall admit to being no expert, but I'd question if he even has enough holes in robot mode.
This comes with two pairs of smaller (presumably) black guns, and one large (presumably) red gun. This is in addition to the single (if you have the Hasbro mass retail version) large red and two smaller black guns that Metroplex comes with. It looks like you're supposed to just toss his out of the box black guns. (Shame they couldn't have incorporated them somehow.)
So you use one pair of this set's smaller guns as new shoulder mounted guns. Then you have two choices of hand held weaponry: The other pair of smaller black guns, or Metroplex's large red gun and the large red gun from this set. If you go with the two smaller guns, you could take Metroplex's large red gun and mount it on his back, then pivot it down as an over-the-shoulder cannon. But then you're at the least still left with this set's large red gun with no place to go.

I went for the Takara version so I've already got two of the big red guns. Then you've got X2 Toys' big gun/tank thing coming.
Crap. I think we need a bigger Metroplex.

TFC cop a lot of crap, and some of it is deserved, but not the stuff relating to the upgrade sets. TFC seem more interested in releasing "Neo" gestalts which cause the geewuners to bitch so they release sets that make their gestalts more G1. Rage of Hercules was made because of fan feedback, as was wings of Uranos, they just started working on WoU earlier is all. The sets are the result of the fandom, TFC, as a business, just capitalised on it.Banjo-Tron wrote:Same old TFC, a 3rd party company that's hard to love. They seem lazy and a bit disrespectful imo, from the comical reuse of parts, the 'upgrade' sets in the pipeline before the main set has even released, to their dull robot designs and abysmal packaging.

Dull designs is an opinion, you're stating it like a fact
And what's wrong with the packaging?
This sounds more like a "haters gotta hate post" to me

Maybe it's just me, but why does the box have to be lively, or whatever? As far as I'm concerned it could be a plain brown box with the toys name on it. As long as the toy inside is nice and safe that's all that matters. Yes a nice looking box can be cool, but it has nothing to do with the toy.
As for Sixgun, if TFC don't charge a stupid amount I might not be able to resist
Never even noticed how dull TW's boxes were, just threw em in the bin! I do like the headmaster boxes, partly because there is no waste with them, and they do look cool. They are also among the few boxes I've kept, but more for ensuring the safety of my favourite figures when I inevitably move than anything else.Banjo-Tron wrote:Arctorro wrote:Sorry, was tired and missed the "imo" bitBanjo-Tron wrote:Since when did I state any of that as fact?

I do agree regarding the boxes being non-essential, but it shows an attention to detail, and also for those that like to collect and display boxes it is always nice to have a more 'prestige' box. TFCs are pretty dull but they are leagues ahead of their 'sister' company Toyworld. Maniaking's box is an example of a decent one, but my favourites are probably the FansProject Headmasters, which is odd because you can't even see the toy. I just think they look cool.
