Site sponsor TFsource hooks us up with the latest news on the World's Smallest Transformers by Justitoys. We're going to get all five of the Dinobots in a special edition set.

This set will be limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, and features all 5 dinorobots in a unique all chromed color variation. Each looks amazing in this heavily chromed look, and truly the pictures don't do these guys justice, in person they are amazing display pieces. Additionally, each set will come in an exclusive giftset, featuring all new artwork. Finally, the price will go up on these, so those who preorder early are guaranteed to get the best price. While supplies last, strict limit of 2 pieces per customer.

Feel free to check out the listing here.

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.
