Wow! I'm tempted to get that, though I don't deal through TFSource. Shame really.

I already have two or three versions of most of the WS Dinobots... the original five WS Dinobots, prototype Snarl, stocking stuffer Grimlock and Swoop, and the Dark Retribution giftset.
The Dark Retribution set really added something new to the molds, but this new chrome metal color doesn't really do it for me.
Still, if there was a chance Justitoys finally made a tight Snarl I might actually be slightly tempted.

I'm sure TFSource will raise the price on this set after a while, but I severely doubt these will really retain their value. Of course, please don't quote me on this when the price actualy does go through the roof!
Actually, does anyone have an idea what the Dark Retribution set goes for these days?

I also have the Dark Retribution set and the standard individual figures + a couple of those G2 editions.

For some reason these really don't appeal to me. Are they too shiny? Is that even possible?

I already a set of the 5 originals, and I'm fine with those.

If these guys want to have some staying power with the other 3rd party companies out there, they are going to have to develop more new items (like their Shockwave and Blaster releases) than continuously releasing repaints and expecting constant sell-thru. Good thing they are keeping the numbers low on this set.

These are actually really nice, I have none of the previous so this might sway me.

I don't like them, with the blue parts, they look like knockoffs.

I would love that set, but I'm not sure it's worth $100+ to me.

Like MP King Grimlock, it's comic accurate

Meh.

This could be cool for anyone who doesn't have the original ones and doesn't mind this color scheme, but it's a total pass otherwise. Not to mention the fact that it's a TFsource exclusive.

Next time Justitoys does a new WST I'm going to email BBTS and see if they can get it in, as I don't deal with TFsource either.

Now that you mention it.... Still, the blue could be darker and a little more grey-ish.

I only have the Snarl from the first go-round. And nothing else.


So, on the 0.0001% chance I can muster the cash I might have to get in on these! Otherwise I'll just have to dream....
