THIS. The price for such a set is re-gawddamn-diculous. Especially since the bodies look out of proportion and the 'alt mode' is laughable. I mean...

If they were 15 dollars a piece, I could almost see some people-not me-stepping up to the plate and buying these. But SEVENTY dollars-that's crazy talk. No way these are worth the price of the City Commander set.
Hell, I can buy MP Megatron on sale right now at this price.
...every
bit of that is true.
Honestly? I don't care for Daniel. I liked him a better when I was a kid and my family was calling me by my middle name, the same - "Daniel", and a grown Spike I'd totally dig having as a figure among the collection, especially in a transforming exo-suit, but all that there is a very low level like. Seriously, if you have enough money to blow the asking price on that crap set, I'm happy that a fellow fan is doing so well in this economy but quite frankly you've got waaaaay too much cash to throw away on sub-par customs.
If the proportions were better, they had decent alt modes, the price was around fifteen or twenty, there wasn't any other TF figures I wanted at the time, all the bills were paid, my gas tank was full, and I'd taken the family out for a dinner, I
might consider the purchase. But this? Pft.
I just don't buy at all those figures cost so much to produce. And I understand they wish to make money, especially right now, but the recession is here and settling in so if they actually wish to make money they need to work on their products, get their process down on cost, lower prices - again, especially right now, and hope to make cash, because here lately its been a cointoss for "WIN!" and "FAIL!" on their products, and the "WIN!"s I still can't even afford.
