Ya, Mkall, you're right. These just aren't worth it.

I think I'll just hang on to my extra Heavytreads. I like the mold as a simple troop builder grunt, and I think they fit in nicely with my Hardhead/HeadRobots headmasters trio. Maybe a clearance pick-up later, but if they never make it to clearance I'm willing to live without them. Close call on jumping the gun. Thanks for the slap back into financial reality.

If you think about it though, some people spend 30+ for Renderform and Beezleboss heads... I need a new hobby.

I never said they weren't worth it, just that I have no interest in them. They're neat figures and a cool idea to expand PCCs, but it's not my cup of tea. I had decided that if a 3rd party produced a figure that wasn't homage to any official TF, I wouldn't get it.

Comparing prices to other 3rd party things of various scales, it's pretty decent 20ish bucks for a slightly-smaller scout class figure with extra gimmicks.

My concern is still how much articulation can you really pull off with the original commander toys...there sadly isn't a lot of room for limb movement and posability. Btw, I keep seeing people mention that these are going to be in the $20 range, but every pre-order mention I've seen puts them at $30 or more for a set of two, meaning at least $60 total before shipping.Am I missing something like usual here?

each individual robot is around the $20 range, I think. That's how I read it anyway, and that makes them in line with other 3rd party bots of the same size, and cheaper than something like the Causality series which are a bit bigger. $20 for a Legends/small Basic sized guy that becomes a robot, vehicle and proper limb for a combiner doesn't seem too bad to me.

I might still get these. I'm really having a tough time deciding. The price is about ten bucks more per set than I'd originally heard they'd be. Or at least that's how I remember it. Decisions, decisions.

Well I like the idea of actually being able to do something with Bombshock rather than leaving him in a box ashamed of how crappy he looks competing for shelf-love with the likes of FP Brute and Maketoys Giant. So it's a question of bite the bullet now or regret it and buy at a higher price when everyones decides they wanted them after all.......what to do what to do....?

My take on these is that they just aren't Bruticus enough, even if I had Bombshock.

I mean, the whole combiner looks pretty nice; if all you want is a nice combiner this is great. But it isn't really Bruticus.
