As for FP being expensive? Lets compare: $80-90 for a City Commander/Shadow Commander set is the MSRP on many sites. [ eBay's non-sense doesn't count ]. Or CrazyDevy's MSRP of $40 for some lego style mech hands, and an oversized rifle? Really? That's pretty shoddy. And that's only one of many examples.

So you can pay $40 for some hands.... or $80 for an entire set that completes the character. Mind you Devy isn't THAT much bigger than a Classics Voyager Prime.

As for quality releases? You think putting plastic wrecking ball testicles on Movie Devy is really a "cool" product to buy? Lol.


LOL yourself. $40 is BBTS's (inflated) price, the set sold for $30 on CrazyDevy's website. Try getting your facts straight next time. I don't know what "lego-style" is supposed to mean, but what I got were articulated hands that far surpass the look of the 'boxing mitts' that came with Devastator. Again, if you add up the Power Parts sets, which arguably complete G1 Devastator, it's comparable to FP's $130 Snowman set.

And yes, Set 4 wasn't for everyone, but it still sold out, so quite a few TFans obviously wanted it.

Snowman set was originally the same price as the original Superion set, which was about $50 USD, IIRC. The higher prices were TFSource's 'take the last desperate saps who wanted to buy this and suck them dry' prices.
