That's utter crap if you ask me. They're not 14k gold plated...it's gold chrome

I haven't been buying these G1 upgrades to begin with, but that's because they're on the back burner for me until my finances improve. This is the first one that I can honestly say I have no interest in, even if they claim to work out a fix. Not if it ruins a toy I'd have to pay triple-digits to replace. For that matter, this upgrade should have been a whole new wing assembly that attaches more securely to Razorclaw, and possibly Divebomb, to replace the original wobbly one. Maybe some other 3rd party company can take a crack at new King-Wings if this crashes and burns.
Am I the only one who's much more excited about those twin shoulder cannons in the silhouette? That's a feature of Predaking's animation model totally absent from the toy, and therefore much more worthwhile IMHO. Some articulated hands and a bigger sword to go in them would rock too. I WANT to believe...

I just so happen to have a damaged pair of wings for this but to even have to have a second pair of damaged ones to make these work is ridiculous.
On top of having to pay an outrageous price for the Crazydevy product. You now need to buy more wings!?! that's a major deal breaker for me.
I hope this review might take CrazyDevy down a notch. I feel these guys are really taking advantage of the fans by pricing their product so high.
I really like what they're making but am not going to purchase anything from them. Not gonna fuel the "gouge my wallet" machine that these guys are.

G1 Devy upgrades: all good and improve his appearance, with the exception of this last set that leave a hole in his torso. I'm willing to bet they will release a set with a new chest wing and new waist armor that will cover it though.

This set, i do see as looking massive and impressive once it's fully released. But i can't recommend this set to anyone that might only have one of the vintage pieces to put this one. If it damaged mine, it could easily damage someone elses. As we all know, Predaking isn't a cheap figure to have...and i'd hate to see anyone else go through what i had to.

My opinion of this is CD should recall this ad on and make a better one. i know it would piss some people off to have to wait longer, but if they put a better one out, it would be worth the wait.
BBTS really picked a good time to up the price on the wings with this new situation at hand.
This is why I love watching these reviews. Keep putting them out for the fans, optibotimus. You're being a great help....
