I want it but I will wait till it goes down in price

[Megatron Wolf]

meh, its a cool idea but the crossover transformers have gotten really bad in the past few years. The first couple waves were great but then they just went to hell.

[Kibble]

Who's the other guy it turns into? And why does Vader have that weird symbol on his head?

This looks like something I'd like to mess around with for about a half hour, but not something I'd want to keep in my collection. Can I rent it for like an hour from one of you guys for like $5?
...why does that sound so dirty?

I prefer the one where Vader turns into the Death Star.

[Sidearm]

I'd get this if I liked star wars & the price was reduced to 20 bucks,because this is utter crap!

Encourages social skills?

If anything, I have so many toys because of my lack of social skills

[Rated X]

What a waste of plastic.

With all due respect, that sounds like a personal problem that has nothing to do with collecting toys.

[MGrotusque]

HA! That is one silly lookin figure!

All that "crossover" nonsense is silly to me.

[ric_tan]

i wonder how do they do the pricing for these, this particular quad changer has been available in Singapore for more than a week already, and its price is at S$39.90 which is about US$33 =\

[ArmadaPrime]

I'm surprised it's only $40, i mean thats what, a leader?
(can't say i'm familiar with american pricings)
i thought he was huge, as in, supreme-class huge.

I've only just realised that the two bot modes are virtually the same. It's really only the head that changes. And I've never seen so much Kibble in one figure.

[RhA]

It's awful. Much like any other Star wars TF.

[rpetras]

Some of the SW Crossovers have been pretty cool, like the Clone tank and some of the Jedi Starfighters. The Death Star was pretty great too!

I even repainted the Palpatine Shuttle, minus the wings, into Kup ages ago. He was a great stand in for years.

But the latest waves have been awful. Doughy sculpts on top of the cheap plastic they have always used make them all easy skips, and this seems to be no exception.

[Cyber Bishop]

People still buy these? I see them on the pegs all the time @ the stores.. Some in clearance.

Technically, it's a little more than that. It's not much, but it's more than just the head:

I said it was my lack of social skills.

Getting another figure...eases the pain.

[DJLazer]

i'm just gonna wait until the price lowers down

[Stormrider]

It sounded like a cool idea on paper but it has been executed horribly.

When I first saw pics of this STWF quad changer at hasbro's february 2011 toy Fair I got all excited & couldn't wait to buy the toy.

However as the months passed by,I kept seeing more & more pics. the more pics I saw,the more I started to dis-like this toy.

The toy literally has the entire alt mode on it's robot mode back. which looks horrible & I hate this sort of thing in transformers toys.

Another negative the toy has is its a bwneo styled shell former. where the whole entire robot mode is hidden inside a alt mode shell. I just prefer my transformers toys to actually use the alt mode pieces as arms,legs,chest & so forth.

Lastly I BEYOND hate Robot heads with robotic styled human hair & fascial features like eyebrows,pupils in the eyes,human teeth,ears & so forth.

The only SWTF toy I bought was the death star moon/planet darth vader toy. mainly because it looked nothing like the SWTF toys in sculpt,designs & engineering. I also bought the toy because I have a display shelf with unicron & primus on it. So I thought It would be beyond could to add another planet formers called SWTF Death star vader. I WAS KINDA HOPING HASBRO WOULD CREATE & REALEASE ANOTHER PLANET FORMER FOR THE MARVEL CROSSOVERS TOY LINE CALLED GALACTUS.

Yeah, I know, but the other difference is so small it's barely noticeable.

It sounded like a cool idea on paper but it has been executed horribly.

Did you expect anything else?
