I really like the size of the hand in the box. The problem is the price. If this does come to completion and is truly a Devastator in scale with deluxe characters, it'll go up even more when everybody now wants it. Hopefully the sales will be limited enough to cause a price drop, but strong enough to have them continue to make the rest. I think $600 is reasonable for a nice full scale Devastator, if it is the quality of Fansproject or Perfecteffect.

Box looks great, figure looks great, hope they ship soon! I will feel better about my investment when we've seen pics of all 6 figures! I swear if I end up having to double up on this one for limbs I'm gonna be pissed!

Off topic: where are the FP insecticons? Were we not supposed to have two of them by now? Come on FansProject!!! Fansproject SUPERIOR, TFClubinferior :lol:

Just got my shipping notice from RK. How long does it take their orders to arrive in the States using EMS shipping? This my first order from them.

In their lastest newsletter, TFSource said Fansproject informed them that Thundershred was shipping out sometime this week and they should have it baring any delays sometime next week. Apparently there was some last minute changes made to the figure which is pretty typical of Fansproject. Gotta make the best figure they can.

Don't be gettin in no hurry, yuck yuck! :lol:

Honestly it's only a couple of days to get to the states, but customs and domestic travel will tack on about a week and half! This is good news though!

Sounds like you should have it within a week... The 'regular' shipping takes a week or two. Sounds like EMS is quicker and you might have by the end of the week.

I was really hoping they going to lose the one purple gun one red gun and just go with both purple. oh well… just not a fan of the "clear plastic" and it kind of gives me Energon flashbacks. brrrrrrr.

this isn't the 80's. toys are not made that way anymore. not to mention that completely plastic toys are better. especially for something in this scale.

i don't get the fascination with diecast anymore.. i mean, it's cool for some stuff.. like the binaltech line.. but other than that it just doesn't make much sense. it really limits poseability. it wears out joints faster. and it adds more to a price tag.. i'd rather spend $100 on this without diecast than $100 with. with a history of loose joints. imagine each arm of this figure having a bulk of metal.. it just wouldn't work.

I knew if I just held my tongue someone would voice my opinion more eloquently and without ad hominen attacks and foul language. Thank you.

I plan on masking the inside of the barrel and some of the vents and things and spraying it black, that way I will have a G1 coloured gun which when it catches the light in the right way will glow red inside, and the purple gun can be for the combined mode.

I think when it arrives at BBTS, I'll be shipping it and posting a review when it arrives.

Let's start the reviews.

Wasn't paying close enough attention to my shipping notice, it was if I don't have it within 5 days to contact them. So I should have him by the weekend with any luck.

Has anyone heard any news as to when Heavy Labor would begin shipping? Originally it was supposed to ship last month, September 2011. However, there was a post at the beginning of September stating it would be delayed until October 2011. We're currently halfway through the month of October and I've yet to see anything more on any of the remaining Hercules figures. If someone out there reading this has an inside scoop on what's going on with Heavy Labor and the rest of the team, please let the rest of us know. With Heavy Labor being delayed, I wonder if the remaining figures will be delayed as well. Structor was due out next month (according to the shipping schedule) and I can't help but wonder if it too will be delayed.

i think el duque covered the delay with heavylabor a day or two ago. he posted that tfc will start shipping out to retailers oct 25. so we should see it by november(hopefully). no pre orders for the 3rd not-constructicon yet....
