HR stated in their update that Centurion would be a limited release and because of that have a higher price point.

I am glad I picked up that TRU Bludgeon/Whirl set a few years ago because that Blood set looks fantastic. Nice to see Trailbreaker getting some love, but I'm hoping the rumors of a Hasbro release for Trailbreaker and Hoist proves to be true so that will be affordable for my budget. I like the Centurion set as well, but alas I lack the figures it goes with. I actually love how that US head looks though.

So lemme get this straight. They're limiting their own release which in turn drives the price up to double what previous sets have been. You get the same robot mode that they've used for the FIFTH(!) time now. You get no guns or robot additions but one sword. Look, I want to support these guys because they have huge potential, I think. This is a frustratingly confusing move to make. Nevermind the fact that this is their third move that feels like they're trying to alienate their fan base. Gyro and Toxin, anyone? Come on guys, get it together.

FRAGNALH! I JUST GOT STRONGHOLD LAST WEEK!!! :BOOM:

I'm glad I didn't use any of the stickers from the set so I can resell it if I have to but this is closer to what I wanted anyway. Man, between this and the Shapeways stuff I ordered, I'm spending as much on a Classics Maximus as I did on RiD Brave Max!

I have. I'm bidding on both E Scorponok and E Dark Scorponok on eBay now. I never handled the mold before but unless is too outlandishly over sized on it, it's getting a modified Headrobots head. I'm even planning to make his large orange antennae attach to the joint slots on his shoulders in head mode and be swords for Zarak to hold. I'm gonna go nuts on it!

Color me interested. Since the set for TRU Whirl set was a bust, DX Blood is my last hope of making that set worth a damn. The Drone set is a fair enough compromise.

Big Road catches my eye. I'm not exactly dreaming of Trailbreaker, but the natural retool option is right up their alley.
