I started keeping an eye on "Fruiticus" (damn you X ) yesterday after I started thinking about the Voyager. Even with shipping and the exchange rate it is the single best option for buying them. If stock ends up dropping to low (doubt it'll happen tho) I'll probably just bite the bullet and make em my Classics Combaticons and commit to the Voyager.megatronus wrote:Arctorro wrote:In the end multiple versions just might save this. I love the G2 version myself, but part of that is seeing it in the box, so not in need of upgrades for that myself. I am very tempted by "Fruiticus" ( ) and the more I look at the Voyager the more tempted I am to get the limbs. This set never did that to me, but if they did a pure black version I might get it for my Nexus Prime repaint.
Right now, we have some nice, clearance options.
BBTS has:
(1) "Fruiticus" for $75 (originally $100): http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
(2) Takara Bruticus for $120 (originally $175): http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
(3) Grimlock vs. Bruticus shared exclusive for $100: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
I'm not jumping on any of these sets until I see the final ECHO kit or the Voyager Onslaught, but there's a lot to like as these sets continue to be clearanced (hopefully for even lower prices!).
Only ever buy Takara if there is no other option or it is MP. Not a fan of the Grimlock set.
