Nice, but looking forward to updates on the specific Superion/Menasor upgrades more. Tired of seeing floppy antennae on my Superion.

Well, dang it. There's $70.00 I wasn't expecting to spend. *sighs*

These are necessary additions for the Hasbro combiners, especially Menasor. They'll help in many ways with getting him to balance. He's too top heavy to make it work.

I don't like the feet very much on this set. They seem too large for Superion, alright on Menasor but perfect for Defensor. He's my only combiner that would receive this set if i did decide to get it.
I can wait for something else to come along for SUperion that may be more to my liking. WHich i'm sure there will be.

There is a solution to that problem already:

Yeah, I remember seeing when Nonnef first offered these and was about to pick up a pair (or two). But then I saw the additional add-on kit from PE and realized I would just wait to pick that one instead.

I like how the feet have an ankle tilt however those hands look really thin from the side i hope they have good QC .

You can always get the black hands/feet set for Superion and use it for Defensor.

Hands and feet shipping in 7-10 days from BBTS.

I got the same e-mail. Ive never recieved a "processing soon" e-mail before. Thats pretty cool the system gives you one last warning before processing automatically. Got the same e-mails for MMC elita one and solis prime. A little bummed about 7-10 days though since tf source got em yesterday. Im considering shipping because im getting very impatient waiting for the throttlebots. But ill probably wait for them to come through and MMC Vos should be in stock soon as well.

Personally, I'm waiting to see if PE does white hands and feet for Superion. And this whole 7-10 days emails they've been sending out seems to me that they're telling their customers not to drop their preorders and go to another seller who got theirs in stock.

BBTS is getting their stuff later and later now, it's kind of disappointing.

Tell me about it...

I was considering buying an extra figure im gonna buy anyways just to get the free shipping from tfsource on the fembots. But since ive already got a decent sized pile of loot, im hanging on to my bbts preorders. My work schedule makes it difficult to be present for a bunch of deliveries. Its not worth it to me to save the couple bucks bbts will add on to the shipping fee calculated by weight of my POL. Buts whats really killing me is those damn throttlebots. No info from bbts on why chimungmung has them almost 2 months now. I sent bbts an e-mail and they had no new news. I dont see what would have been so hard for them to send an e-mail to their toyworld point of contact for an update. Especially since a grind rod 2nd run has been announced. Anyways, back on topic, the white versions of the PE set are inevitable. Their just doing the "vintage toy accurate" colors first to match Hasbro's CW decos. The good news is they look great on Defensor. Theres a pic on TFW. And after seeing the how maketoys copied FP Intimidator's leg configuration, Guardia is officially off my radar. Rook or not, Im going with Hasfensor. Hopefully somebody will do a proper Groove down the line.

Not gonna lie, I'm losing confidence in BBTS, but unlike you I have a very good receiving solution and I'm a patient person. Those damned Throttlebots are really trying my patience though.

Either way, as soon as I get Hot Spot, I'm shipping my POL.

I wouldn't panic about the 7-10 days just yet. TFSource and BBTS are next door neighbors, so to speak. Both of them service the same area/region/metro and TFSource got theirs in already, so I'd imagine BBTS will either today or at least by the end of the week.

I received the 7-10 day thing about Apollyon and it wasn't even a week before he came in stock yesterday. So, don't panic, they'll get to you and soon.

Review of hand/feet set via Kapow!



They're already out of stock for the black ones, too, but I'd be interested if they brought some more back in. Still not too sure about the head.

I'm abit on the fence with these. The feet look awesome as feet but look pretty rushed as weapons and overly large gatling guns. And the hands look great as weapons but look flimsy as hands.

I still think the fee should have been missile pods with maybe some other weapons stashed in there too.

Ont he plus side the kit does make Menasor look a hell of a lot better in his official combined mode.

Hands/feet sets are processing at BBTS this morning.

For those (like me) who have that preference for Superion, looks like there is a white set of hands and feet coming!





I really like these ones! The extra color on the foot pieces is a really nice touch that breaks things up.

Guess I'll be ordering some of these, now. This new white set for Superion, and a black set for Defensor.

ooooooooo white is pudry

Hell yeah !

Would ya look at that!

...I'd buy that for a dollar.

Hooray! Now let's hope that these actually turn up on UK websites, unlike the black set.

I'd buy us all (the 10 or so "usuals" in this forum) a set if it were really that price. At $33/ea, I have to be a bit selfish.

Indeed sir, but once I happen upon that small fortune I misplaced somewhere
I've got ya in mind good sir!

The white color looks pretty awesome on those feet especially with the other color to bring out the detail abit. This has me torn so much I really want to get the purple set but I probably will just use the feet only

Why not the hands ?

You like the Hasbro hands with toe knuckles ?
