If you use the pile of loot at bbts, shipping gets broken down even further. I got Exgraver, Thundershred, one of the New Era Decepticon hats they got on clearance and some other stuff I've had sitting there for a few months. Shipping per item after all that is less than a dollar. Gotta love the Pile of loot!

The Pile of loot feature is great, I just shipped Jetwing prime, Thundershread, Roadbuster/dirge 2 pack and Clear protector. Shipping $9..

LIke I said the price is a contributing factor but maketoys version seems more pleasing IMO..Besides Exgraver still has close to 50 units leftover and HL has 150 units available for preorder..So its not like they are flying off the shelves..

I'd link the actual source, but I don't know what the hell it says so I'll just post where I saw it first and give them credit:

All I can say is NEAT!

Naturally they won't be on my shelf until something like March, but it will be oddly comforting to see the rest.

Out of interest, are there any pictures of Exgraver and Heavylabor next to each other in robot mode? Just interested to see if there is a height difference, as I picture them it seems Heavylabor will be shorter but that's all in my head so I could be wrong.

Willing to bet the third release will be the left arm, so no connecting pieces till the fourth release. Unless someone has seen the statement for which the next one is...

Sweet, they scale really well together

. I figured they would, but it's nice to actually see them standing side by side (my toy shelf wants to see the same thing SOOOOOOON

).

I thought that Structor is Hook/Hightower... But I'm certainly not positive...

TFC Toys have posted new promotional images of the next figure in their Hercules set, Heavylabor. These images reveal the figure in full color including the painted details that where absent from the initial color test shot image they previously released. The figure is also displayed with the first Hercules team member, Exgraver. Check out the new images below.

That looks amazing! They even covered up his va-jay-jay! LOL

Somebody here please help me, I want these guys sooooo bad, but I can't even come CLOSE to affording them.... :-x

by 009* » Sat Aug 20, 2011 1:45 am

Are there any pics of the re-designed replacement shovel for Exgraver that this figure is supposed to be coming with?

by **Lord Raze** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:40 am

Hell yes, the only disappointing thing I can think of is the weapons which don't look much cop. But that's probably more down to the combining weapon gimmick then anything.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:50 am

Well, that looks even better than the last one! :shock:

Really too bad I can't afford these. I'm liking the styling and colors. Very Unicron Trilogy, which is a good thing IMO.

And the whole combining gun is totally badass.

Okay, now this guy impresses me. (Well, the pics with the paint I should say)

Leaps and bounds better than Exgraver. Still not enough to get me to pony up $600.00

EDIT: Oh, I'm sorry. $587.94 before shipping, if current Exgraver pricing is extended to the other figures. My bad.

Bah.

Me Grimlock must order this Guy! :KREMZEEK:

...when Me have enough money for it again! :sad:

by **wilcosu35** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 7:14 am

that looks absolutely fantastic. so glad i ordered this guy

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:41 am

Wow! I can't believe how well he's turned out. I'm not regretting getting any of these guys at all. I also like that they integrated his bucket better than it just folding down and becoming his legs a la G1
