Still interested in the MakeToys version, but I've already invested in Hercules. If they want to get serious preorders going, either MT should sell the figures at a more affordable price ($35 - 45/ea), or just wait until Hercules is finished and then start soliciting.

I'd be happy with them releasing the Mini-bottsu figures and G2 Prime trailer first, just so they aren't competing with a similar, costly project. Yes, I'm aware other companies have plans to release the same mini-bots beginning at the end of this year, but those are pretty affordable compared to $50+ figures.

I agree with Mkall. Unless you have the cash to put down on both sets, I think TFC will take a lot of customers here. MakeToy needs to get on the ball before the get left behind.
