I'm okay with once a month, considering other items I'm expecting. However, I can't fault anyone for wanting to get a complete set sooner than later, or those who want the yellow set finished just to hear more about the green set being released.

I'd really like to have all of them at once. Tway they are releasing these, and like they released TFC's Hercules figures, it lets you play around with them individually for a bit and you don't end up trying to figure out if what mode you should be displaying first and stuff.

I'm glad BBTS has them now, as they have been on the Asian market for a few weeks now. Hopefully the yellow versions aren't as limited as they are claiming though, and that everyone gets them if they order them.

I hope more people will back up my sentiments on these guys once they've had them in hand.

Just checked the numbers on this set at BBTS. Only 18 left in stock at this time with another 60 sets on order/awaiting delivery. Not sure how many they had to begin with but it looks as though this may be a limited edition set that actually IS pretty limited.

Agreed, looking forward to having them in-hand. One thing does leave me a bit puzzled; why has Maketoys not shown us final images of the complete set? I'd really like to see some pictures of Giant in color-would also see what the final head design is going to look like. No use in keeping us in the dark on this any longer.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The first thing we saw of Giant was a complete prototype followed quickly by a comparison shot with a FP upgraded Bruticus for scale. Hercules was the one we didn't see complete until the 4th or 5th figure was up for order. If you mean a pic of the Giant in it's final colors, I guess they've been busy getting the figures shipped and ready to go early. Look at it this way: at this rate, you can have your entire Giant on your shelf by Easter (not to mention before TFC's first Hercules upgrade set ships!)

For all the speed this is coming out, I have yet to hear anything but glowing reviews!

They've showed us two of the three sets in color, why not show us them combined, even if two limbs are still prototypes. And considering they solicited feedback from fans via Encline as to what type of head they should release, we've never seen a close up of Giant's head-ever. Don't get me wrong, I've been in the Giant camp from day 1, but TFC flooded the internet with photos of Hercules as the project was on going, I'm just surprised we're at the ship date for set 1 with the other two just months away and still have so little to go on.

TFC was showing us pictures every step of the way because they had to prove they were still working on it. When the first ones were shipping they still didn't have hard prototypes of the last ones. They knew they weren't going to succeed on the faith and goodwill of a notoriously fickle fanbase, especially once Giant was shown complete and ready to go in the first photo. They needed the attention that constant access gave them or they might not have ever finished Hercules. The only question that we had with Giant was "Who the hell is Maktoys?"

i think its a good move for them because this a limited interest piece(the color anyway) even if an official reissue came out in these colors id pass but the posability on them completely sold me. :D

I don't know, Maketoys only has 1 real release to date (hover and glider) are just being released widely now) so we're still kind of asking that question. But hey, if this set is a home run for them, won't be any questions from here on out.

You're correct, my post wasn't clear. Meant to say that asides from the Tanker set, the only other product they have out is Bomber & Hover which are just being widely released now.

Got my Bulldozer and Excavator today, and I'm really pleased with them. Great figures. Good size, excellent quality. Can't wait for the other two sets, especially since I can set him up next to my G2 Devastator!
