If you have Maketoys TT/CW, here's an alternative way to pose the head. Pull down the vehicle canopy, and then slide out the hood. Now you can access the head without pulling out the whole chest piece.

Why are these still on pre-order at BBTS? Are they really slow at getting their shipments or are you guys really fast at getting yours?

A batch was released prior to Chinese New Year to some asian-based retailers. Those of us wanting to get them from North American retailers had to wait for the larger batches to get made/released.

And, while not very good news, we have the precedent of Paladin/Chaos and the Mobine types, which saw an initial release, then a wider release, what, months if not a year later? I hope this is not the case here...

As long as they come, im not in a hurry. I want them for my ancient cybertronian shelf. But its not like gears/swerve are missing in my collection. Igear filled that void a year ago. I just got paladin last week and I love him. I could have had him at botcon but decided to be patient instead of paying those "gotta have it now" prices from dealers who got a few early. Chimungmung has these and Armageddon sets already so you know theyre coming soon. Patience is a virtue.

I already have Legends Swerve on pre-order and I JUST bought IGear Cogz like two days ago. After seeing that this is what Gears currently looks like I am buying these too. Thanks for nothin'! Haha. Ugh, my money. It's all gone.

So are these guys worth the $70 for the pair?

That seems to be the general consensus I've been seeing.

Being worth it is relative. For me I think these guys are definitely worth it. But to someone who thinks $15 for a new Hasbro Deluxe is too much this will not be.
I'm very happy with this set though.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

they have been to me. Swerve was the real draw of the set, and whilst he is everything he was promised to be, I'm really loving Gears too.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.
