The long and expensive journey is nearing it's end for collectors of TFC Toys Hercules! Site sponsor Robotkingdom has posted new in-package images of the last figure in the set, Mad Blender, who they state will start shipping tomorrow. Will the last two figures arrive defect free? If they don't how will they distribute repairs with Mad Blender being the last figure? We'll know shortly, it's almost time to combine these bad boys!

OMG!!! Shipping part six tomorrow? I just got my shipping notice for Neckbreaker yesterday. Major props to TFC for getting them all out before Chinese New Year. I hope they are free from defects since they are ahead of schedule. I should have a completed Hercules on Monday considering the super fast shipping RK provide, and that is on the cheapest delivery option.

It looks SWEET!! Wish I had the $$$ to get em all, but alas I do not!!

Not to sound like a G1 hard ass, but weren't there 7 Constructicons??

Nope, just six. You will be hard pressed to find a project more G1 inspired than this one.

Well, only 6 for Devastator but you could say there is an unnoficial constructicon called Hauler. He was a constructicon who escaped the Decepticon conversion and joined the Autobots. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hauler

Am I right in thinking you weren't too keen on the weapons either?

I had a sneaking suspicion that these two would be out earlier than their original March/April release dates, but now I haven't a penny until I get paid in 10 days.

My only disappointment with these figures is that the combined figure isnt as big as I thought it would be. Its still huge but not as huge as I would have liked.

Still, bring on the last two figures please.

Add green blade. Thanks.

I'm as giddy as a little school girl!

I expect that someone will come out with add-ons to fulfill all possible wishes.

Toon/comic/G1 toy accurate heads, purple barrel, legs/blade for bonebreaker, gun (though I personally love the combiner gun) ... all that.

I can't WAIT to have all of these!

I think I'll keep them in individual bot mode for a little while though.
I've gotten to enjoy the first 4 for several months, I'll probably keep them separate for a bit, before keeping them in Devy mode more permanently.

Next up for me, Hegemon ...

Okay...all the fun aside....all I really wanna know is when is BBTS going to ship my figures!

Off the cuff answer: After they ship my order.

Answer with some reality: RK gets their shipment first because they are closer to reach than the US, hence BBTS. Hopefully these get through customs and into Joel's warehouse in about a week, then we can all decide whether or not to ship that loot!

All likelihood, both figures can be in US collectors' hands by the end of January.

I can't believe how fast they got these guys out!! I also can't believe what a great job they have been doing to redeem any errors on their part. I, for one, have no worries that if something is wrong with the last two...we'll get fixes somehow.

I should also note, I was a hater. I did not want to spend this kind of money on these guys. BUT, I'm a tformer fan, I'm a collector, I'm a sucker, AND I'm happy!

Word on the street is Heavy Labor's fix may just be greased gears...if so, I'm a little skeptical that that's a good long term solution.

Okay, let's grow up here. El Duque and the News Team put alot of time and effort into getting the news out and none of you deserve to light up this thread by trolling or feeding the troll. You have third party problems? I feel bad for you son. Go create another thread and spew it out there. As blunt as it is, this thread is meant to discuss Mad Blender/Neo-Classics Devastator. I see this again, and it's not going to be tolerated. You have been warned, and please, let proper discussion ensue.

Deleteing people's comments, eh? I'd have thought you'd be more sensitive to folk's right to free speech after yesterday.

maybe they should have just blacked out the lines they didn't like.....you know partial censorship. Some of the comments, within the idiocy, were pertinent.

Like this, I think I'll ship my POL just so the last two hit!! You know that's how it works.

Free speech? █ ████ everything ███ █████ is █████ ████ ████ fine. ████ ███ █ ██████ love █████ ██████ ███ your █████ ████ government

Nah seriously. Yesterday wasn't mouth off and try to make snide comments against fellow collectors day. The guy who started it only wanted to derail this thread.

In regards to Mad Blender, congratulations to those who have forked over so much cash so far.

Nice rebound Blurrz!!

Well played, sir. I would like to protest about this:
