I dig these, Size and articulation are great, but I'm not at all into the alt modes.

I suppose they are current IDW cybertronian alt modes?

But price depending, I'll get these.
I hope the $100-$120 is a rumor. I'd pay around $75.

If it is, then I'm out. I highly suspect this isn't accurate.

Packing things in two's and charging large quantities of money is a recipe for disaster! *waves at Xovergen*

I am so annoyed with myself that I bought the iGear versions of these. I think if I end up getting the Maketoys versions I will set fire to my iGear ones. They really are dreadful. I'm hoping that they are not as expensive as rumoured.

I think dreadful is a bit harsh of a description for the iGear ones.

Disappointing, yes, especially after how happy I was with Brawn and Cosmos.

Set-em-on-fire dreadful ... nah, not quite that bad, and I can always migrate them to my MP shelf.

Such a shame this take on Swerve is so small as he looks like a great figure, just needed him at least the size of Classics Bee... never mind. :-(

: I can see your gears!

Also after seeing the gallery of photos, has there been any confirmation that the MFB comes with this set or is it being sold seperately as a kit?

It doesnt appear in the clear package tray, but comes in its own little bag and box. Would that box be found under the clear tray, inside the main package, or does it need to be ordered seperately? :???:

The way the Hasbro figure seems to be taking 40 years to come out to mass retail/online suppliers, I might just have to go with this. It's not as small as the Legends figure. And since I just realized Gear is in the comics...... will be buying this

Probably a 1st wave pre-order bonus, like original tanker Drift sword. Cause for concern though is that SwervexGears and MFB are two different listings on the MakeToys website.

If it's a separate item then I'm game either way, at least those who want the MFB can get it bereft of the need to get the other 2. If it's a 1st edition bonus though I'm more than a little bit concerned, and hope to Primus I can snag it on BBTS.

Wow, that is half the price I paid for the 2 iGear figures. I just ordered both for under £38 delivered! I didnt bother with the extra shooter though...

nice one. still on the fence, as I'm okay without Gears until there's a tiny wee Spider-man to go with him. i'll be having that gun though.

The figures were £30.38 and the shipping was £7.29, I would be mad to miss out on that! Now I only need to replace iGear Brawn and Outback, Seaspray and Cosmos aren't too bad. I prefer something more akin to 'scout' scale for my minis.

It's definitely the exchange rate - it's currently 1 British pound to 1.66 US dollars.

The Brits sure do come out on top with imports.

I remember the halcyon days when it was not far off 2 dollars to the pound... the force is not strong with the pound anymore

Ohhh haha GBP for some reason I was thinking of euros. That makes alot more sense now

On a side note, I can't believe swerves still using MFB in the most recent comic! Pretty awesome
