I'm already looking forward to the no money I'mma have this summer.

See, now this is a much more logical "I have to let this one go" sacrifice.

$150 (even way out in may) is too much for me right now. I got Hasbro pushing RID (and FOC soon enough), two more rounds of Giant, PE's take Arcee; something has to give. If I'm in a better place come late April (and he's still available) I'll go all in.

While this mammoth is beautiful (and I do believe he is freaking huge), he's on back burner duty.

I love the look of it, but that price is just way too much for me. Maybe if it goes on sale I'll pick one up.

That right arm doesn't look like it has much mobility. It looks like a shed stuck on the side.

Good thing that May comes after April then, eh?

In all seriousness, I hope you're able to get it.

They used purple, yay!

I'm with Requiem, the next few months are pretty rough. Don't forget Hegemon in June! Looking at MMC's record with Knight Morpher, I think I'll be okay waiting for some early adopters to review. Mind you, I really hope this release goes without fail, because Cyclops looks BEAUTIFUL! That price just needs to be a wee bit smaller.

PRE-ORDERED!

I've been looking forward to this figure for a long time. He will look awsome next to my mp-figs and combiners. Now if Takara would only get to making a true mp shockwave and soundwave I'd be set.....maybe....probably not.

Screw Cyclops! Gimme Hexatron already!!

How much!!

Are these people laughing at us? I shudder to think what this will cost in the UK.

I want it though.

Wait, this is a different Hearts of Steel Starscream right? the one we saw before wasn't by Mastermind Creations if I recall correctly, can't remember who it was by though.

by **DeceptiCobra** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 3:37 pm

Entirely gorgeous! :BOOM:

Now that is sexy. :APPLAUSE:

Cyclops, I had my flexability hat for compromises, like having a quarter of the boat for a forearm. But this I can't find any issues I'll just have to deal with.

I may forgo Cyclops all together and save my pennies for Screamer.

Damn and I wanted MP-11 well I guess I'll have to wait :WRECK:

News Credits: 2 · by **Requiem Prime** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 3:50 pm

i forgot to mention earlier, but is BBTS our first mention of pre-orders? I'm stunned... unless Mastermind set up and exclusive deal, but that wouldn't be in their favor.

by **AnimeFreak505** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 3:51 pm

Damn I wanted cyclops I hope there is a time gap between releases also where is insectatrain? :WRECK:

damnit this looks good

Soooo psyched for Starscream, he's my absolute favorite design from that series. Hope they do Thundercracker and Skywarp, too.

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 4:18 pm

Hell yeah!

Shockwave pre-ordered and I can't wait for Starscream and the inevitable Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints!

by **combiner711** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 4:39 pm

KM Cyclops figure = Good
Price = Too much! :HEADHURTS:

I'm sorry, but that has got to be one of the most uninspiring paint apps on a 3rd party Transformer that I have ever seen. For $159 you get grey and flat purple? Well two shades of purple, but they look very close to the same color. Please tell me it is a prototype! I really wanted this one bad when I saw it several months ago. But now it is an easy pass, unless of course that isn't the finished product.

by **barricade2218** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:43 pm

These third party prices are really getting out of control...I had planned on getting this but not for $160. Of course, as long as people keep paying these prices they will keep overcharging us.
