What an amazing toy!. I love how solid it is for such a big toy, wish the other UW/CW toys were as sturdy in their combined modes. It is nice being so BIG, but my only regret is that it is not to scale with al the others, well that and the fact that the packaging was not window boxed, or that TT used Hasbro box art recolored instead of their own, but those are minor nitpicks. Kind of hard to play out "Starscream's Brigade" with Dev being 1/3 taller than Bruticus. But all that aside, it is a great toy. Looks like BBTS still has plenty of stock, though they lowered their price by $40 (From $220 down to $180), I foresee another price drop coming soon, they wont want to hand on to those forever, so anyone waiting, the holiday time might be a good time to pick up this giant, as the price goes down, the value for what you get definitely goes up.

I think it's a little more Mahou Shoujo/Magical Girl than Super Sentai.

There was one evil all-female Sentai team in Kakuranger (the series that was adapted into MMPR season 3 and MMAR) whose main colors were atypical of the usual Sentai color coding (i.e. - no red or yellow), and who also had black as their secondary color and silver as their tertiary color.william-james88 wrote:Emerje wrote:Randomhero wrote:Because it's intended to homage Sentai(power rangers)?

Yeah I am not seeing super sentai. Especially when the colours used arent primary.

They do represent earth, wind, fire, water, and heart and their powers do combine...

o.supreme wrote:Just for fun, I decided to rank the UW sets thus far in terms of perceived popularity. I've looked at several websites, most of which sell out of these items fairly quickly due to limited quantities, but of the few that have some left, trying to judge between quantities, exclusivity etc... and here's what I've come up with in ascending orer, I've only done the first 8 because although Lynx Master is out, he is relatively new, and the others are still available for pre-order on most sites:
8. Devastator (price may be a factor here, but is the seemingly most easily available as of this date)
o.supreme wrote:7. Defensor (same, the exclusive Groove may have been a draw for some, until Hasbro complied with the CW release, still many UW-03's out there in stock)
o.supreme wrote:6. Menasor -After being out for a year, this one has finally started to sell out on most sites
o.supreme wrote:5.Superion-almost the same as Menasor, but gets a higher ranking for being the only UW (that I am aware of) to have a second release, and is still sold out on most sites
o.supreme wrote:4.Bruticus-Sold out fairly quickly after its release, exclusive Shuttle Blast-Off, and animation accurate colors for the rest, and 4 rotor Vortex no doubt contributed to this
o.supreme wrote:3. Grand Convoy Prime -sold out even quicker, praised for having the "Right" Prime with limbs as opposed to Hasbro's pushing of the BC version with the series 1 Autobot car limbs
o.supreme wrote:2.Grand Galvatron-Sold out very quickly, and is demanding higher prices every day on the secondary market for its exclusivity
o.supreme wrote:1. Computron -For its uniqueness from the Hasbro version, also for being the only UW that was sold out in pre-order on most sites before the toy actually came out.

I had expected him to be 2, and Galvatron 1. People seem to like Hasbro's as much as this one, what with Scrounge? (IIRC), well, the yellow UFO and tiny shuttle. But he is a very cool set of bots indeed.
