As if "Erector" wasn't bad enough...

I kinda want this, but not for the 100 bucks it would cost me as a non-attendee. Can anyone who's going consider picking me up an extra?
edit: looks like I got a guy helping me out.

I'm hoping iGear has plans for Road Ranger in the near future!

It's sad that the fact that it's "Erector" is the only reason I want it and I wasn't even part of the "Erector for Hall of Fame" crowd. Now if he was Overload, I'd be all over it!

Love it! Erector was always a nice wee figure, and Rager is a cool toy. If I could get this at the same price as Rager, I would. Not likely to be scouring ebay for it though.

I read the title thinking that there's a shady character going around giving people at convention the, well, shaft...

Didn't we beat the dick jokes into the ground a couple years ago now? I know it's in fun but stop kicking the horse, it's dead. I like the little guy and have someone hooking me up. Wonder if he'll color match 07 Mudflap at all.
I would much rather have a RTS Grapple retool as Erector with 2 big wrecking balls hanging from the crane. Crazydevy hook us up with a set !

A couple years? I'm ready to go again.

Shafter turned up Friday and even knowing what to expect from the figure, I like him better than his mold mate. The color match I hoped for is kind of a stretch but I think I can manage a half-assed base mode homage. Maybe. It'll be good enough.

My Shafter arrived recently and I've now snapped pics of him and completed my review. Very nice repaint of a great little toy.
It's a shame the molds dont have screws. For me, Shafter and Black Rager are pointless characters for that mold. But a little kitbashing could produce a nice Gobot Road Ranger. Are the figures held together by glue r do they snap together ? Im not going to break my Rager to find out...
