I love it so much I have both the Hasbro and Takara one.

Cause it's not the best I prefer Silverbolt and I don't really care for that mold in any form other than torso.

Also maybe because Cram has it and this is a limb party

I have ... Grand Galvatron ...

Now that's a sexy mofo. I'd love to just have Starscream out of that set, well hell all the limbs honestly

I'm kinda surprised we never saw any Seekers in the Repaint Wars

Dat SS head scult

Its realy good. I really think this is my proudest purchase of the year (a year which includes G1 Fort Freaken Max!). Its one of the best painted toys I have ever seen. And if I had o pick the best deco in that set, it might go to armada thrust. Thats also a super sexy facesculpt. Takara went above and beyond with that set and I think its the crown jewel of Unite Warriors/Combiner Wars.

I have no room or need for that set, but if the price was right (and it'd have to be pretty damn right), I'd jump!

Personally, I wouldnt have bought it if it wasnt at the right price. The price in the US ws $160 which sounded fair for a premium set (I mean exclusive premium solo figures usually go for like 50$ and you have 5 of them at once). But being in Canada, that price was unavailable. It would be 160 US plus shipping plus import fees plus taxes bla bla, no thanks. But I found it from Japan for 160 US shipped to me, no duties or exta fees nothing. Its not a great deal by any standards, but it was the best deal a canadian could get for that set and I was happy enough.

I felt the $160 that BBTS and TFS was asking was a pretty fair price, especially after the reviews and I almost jumped myself. I'm glad I didn't, but that doesn't mean I can't admire it from afar

Now let's steer this ship back on Coursetasic! Which 'Con limbs do you recommend to the CW newbie

Ehrmahgerd, all of the postings!!

Cary, today may be an Amazon purchase day. Liokaiser still sends to be floating around $82, which I'm cool with. As you said, I have none of those limbs so why not? I do like the idea of tracking down Swindle and Vortex, maybe even Blast Off if one of the two jets that Liokaiser comes with ISN'T that jet mode.

I think a friend of mine said something about Offroad..........

WJ, Grand Galvatron would be AMAZING. As Cary said, it would have to be the right price and for me that world probably be the unfeasible price of $100 USD shipped. I thoroughly enjoy Cyclonus, especially after I Reprolabeled him!!

If you have one CW jet, you have all the CW jets. I'd say there is basically two major variations with little differences between each. There is two different legs (which all transform the same), two upper bodies with a good bit of retooling and a few wing and arm variations.

I'm pretty sure Lio comes with my preferred molds.

The CW limbs are pretty consistently good, so really either pick your favorite characters, colors or shapes

Jets > Sharks Ground vehicles

I am trying to think of who hits what sweet spot the best.. That dang Grand Galvatronus has all the pretty doesn't it?!

Limb talk!

The first two Decepticon "must haves" that come to mind are Offroad and Vortex.
I'd would also highly recommend a deeply clearanced Wheeljack with the Exhaust Repro set. Especially if you wanna build a team of weirdos for Galvatron.

2 cents!

Oooooooooh Exhaust from WJ/TH! Sounds extremely bees knees

That dang Offroad, so hot right now I also shoulda bought Vortex when I had a chance from HTS!!

Repro and Renderform need to do more joint ventures, like their Thunderclash. Or was that just a ridiculous coincidence? I want to do a CW Exhaust but after seeing the unique and and awesome head on MP Exhaust, I can't help but wonder how awesome a new Renderform one would be

That would be awesome
I'm sad now

To beef up decepticon ranks one could get UW Bruticus and then get all the cw bruticus limbs to plug to cw voyager cyclonus.

Coincidence or not, more team-ups = more awesome. Just ask Spider-Man and Deadpool

Yes awesome. Why sad?!

You reaaaaaaaaally want me to hook up a Galvatronus don't you

I'm sad bc Carrie fisher died
I heard some us bruticus' are a QC mess.
Pretty much all the blast offs are horrible from what I've heard.

Ah yes. 'Tis sad that our Princess has left us.

Bumblebeevis21 wrote:I heard some us bruticus' are a QC mess.

Well that is unfortunate. It's a good thing I won't be buying him anyway

Bumblebeevis21 wrote:Pretty much all the blast offs are horrible from what I've heard.

Now that's kind of sad. I wouldn't mind having an attack shuttle in the group. Yes, a jet works better, but it would've been neat if it wasn't just a recolored Aerialbot. Like Vortex. Two recolored Aerialbots. Sad. At least the other parts of Bruticus are retools AND recolors.

I have 0 issues with mine.

And cram, I was just trying to find ways for you to beef up the decepticons on a budget and without repeating torsos.

UW Bruticus is available HERE IN THE US for cheap?! I won't succumb to your import ways WJ!!!

Holiwhu?

I was fundraising from 8th to 24th Dec, spent time with two families eve and day, friends on 26th. Was a good weekend, yeah! My fingers are restless. They feel like wanting new plastic. Or similar. Tips? Suggestions? Prevention?

Raising funds?! Did you raise enough? Or at least spend your raising time productively?!

We had a good Christmas weekend too. New bots will be arriving today!! Have you heard of this thing called Combiner Wars?! It's amazing!! All of these bots combine into other bots!! Apparently it happened in 2014 and 2015...

Well, I'm currently trying to enhance what I have (re: upgrades). Patiently waiting for the re-stock of DNA's Devastator kit..and it looks like I'm going to pick up the rest of the CW Combaticons and possibly the Perfect Effect kit too. SND's Primo Vitalis, the Perfect Effect cannon for Fort Max, and Perfect Effect's kit for G2asor are already in my BBTS PoL!

So, ENHANCE what you have to add play value!! I also went crazy and bought a few extra Bumblebee figures..which I sort of have the regrets about..I dunno. So much happening!!
