If you're referring to Rager and Spray, I'm pretty sure they're scout size. These guys are shown to be deluxe, so 40 is norm for third party. Now BBTS will rip you unless you wait for a decent pile.

Are these the CHMS versions ??? If not whats the difference ???

appears to be the kotoys/CHMS version. The difference is its all plastic, where as the Superalloy C-80 Wheelie Survivalist and their version of powerglide has some diecast parts.

This is the CHMS Xtransbot version, all plastic about Deluxe class. The iGear Mini Warriors are Legends size. The Superalloy version which is currently in production will be heavy on the diecast.

I have not dealt with robotkingdom before- what I am not seeing is average shipping time- anyone know how long shipping takes from them?

If you go regular air/the cheapest shipping it takes about a week for it to arrive. I ordered my Exgraver with them and Heavy Labor. HL should be here tomorrow or Thursday

iGears and Maketoys versions are legends size. These are the same size as Classics Bumblebee, so small deluxe size.

I'll take the all plastic CHMS versions. I hate die cast.

Placed my order- I need to have that powerglide; a favorite character

I think $40 is a decent price & the AVERAGE price.

Lets take into account that the TFCC club charges members $40 for the so-called club freebie deluxe size figure. which is a repaint.

At the very least buyers are getting a 100% new mold deluxe from the 3rd party guys. instead of a repainted deluxe toy from TFCC.

Those iGear toys are really closer to being Legends size if anything. They stand about as tall as Legends Optimus Prime at the head.

Anyone received theirs yet? mine seems to be lost in the mail system

I got mine from ii-toy.com already. It's a nice toy.
