Bad comedy.

They're going to need actual pics of finished product to get my wallet out for this.

Especially since I'm not sure that ladder is appropriate for Inferno's kind of fire truck.

Yeah, it's the same thing for me with that City Commander add-on set from iGear. 3D mock ups are nice but won't sell me on a product.

hey guys here's the update photos to explain the mix and match and
the size reduced laucher.

the 2 lauchers in 1 set will not be a same color.

BigBadToyStore has updated their pre-order page with a actual picture of the Gears of War set. You can see it here:

Why the hell do you get two random missiles and launchers?

Beats me :\ ...looking at it that does seem kind of a silly idea. I was kinda impressed at the set up until now.. but Im not digging this random mix and match missile thing.

.
I had it pre-ordered but now that I know, or better yet, not know what I'm getting, I've decided against purchasing this set.


.

I still have it preordered, but I'm going to wait to see more pictures before I cancel it. Also maybe if there's enough negative feedback about the mix 'n match, there will be a re-think.

It does seem stupid, especially since its obvious the only decent combo is the black launcher and silver missile

I do like that ladder though

That makes zero sense to me. Very odd-and they're still too damn big for Mirage, even remolded. Pass.

Good luck this weekend.

I just received this email from BBTS regarding the random missiles:

Hello!
We just wanted to let you know that the manufacturer has agreed to include one of each missile launcher set - black, sliver and red - at no additional charge. Instead of getting two randomly, you will now receive all three.

Thanks,

I guess there were enough complaints


.

Awesome sauce. Now let's see if they do a set without the ladder.

Look at the power of feedback!

Now this set is worth my money

Well well check that out. I'm going to have to reconsider and pick up this set.

Score for them! I'm back in!

Can anybody tell me how the silver missle fits on Mirage as there is no hole there like on Sideswipe. I thought it clipped on before but now I see that the launchers for him have a peg too.

I know! I totally saw that and was wonderng if the notch on the top clips onto mirage if you turn it upside down. So far it looks like you just lay it on top of him and against the wheel suspension!

And here I just went and made a fool of myself bictching about this (quantities) in the other thread. I just love it when my browser does the jerky scrolling and skips right past the important stuff. Leaves me wide open for dumb mistakes. On the plus side, now I can get a black launcher to offset Prowls white one and still keep his cop motif.

Doesnt matter. I dont want anything except what was pictured originally. The slight exaggeration in the size is what I liked about them. People, if you dont like something then dont buy it, dont ruin sh#t for other people who do like it by writing to someone and complaining until they change it. #ssholes.

and for the morons wondering about how it fits onto Mirage. Look at the back of the missle, there is a notch that slides over the frame between the wheel and the body of the car, it doesnt just lay on his shoulder!! you people are so stupid, you piss me off.

You've got legitimate points but your delivery could you some finesse. If you keep up the out-of-proportion responses, I'm pretty sure the party will be over for you soon.

Do you think I care moron? Are you going to "end the party" for me??

Funny the picture I'm looking at of the missle on Mirage has the notch above his shoulder which leads me to believe that the front part is the launching mechanism. Do you actually have the missle? No I think not so most likely your just talking out of your butt cheeks instead stating that of which you know as fact. Until there is an actual review or the maker releases something that explains how everything about how the missle fits on is all speculation so I don't see how anybody is calling anyone a moron except you for posting this B*tch session.

Dude, you've got some serious issues. It's called constructive criticism and it's aimed at keeping a mod from kicking your ass off of here. However, it's clear you deserve to.
