iGear PP05W, PP05M, MW-01, & MW-02 Now Available for Preorder at BBTS & TFsource

Not-Ironhide looks really good. If only he wasn't 120 bucks...

Ironhide looks great. But the scale doesnt work for me. He should not be tall as voyager Prime. Hope KO toys hooks us up with a deluxe size version down the road.

They look amazing. Tons of accessories. Not sure about the $120 price tag though. They'd have to be a good scale for that price to be worth it. Now the minibots, I'd pay $20 a pop for them. They look great, and they are about the size of the original minibots with much better articulation..

I would love to get my hands on Ratchet, but uh... I also think that it's too much.

I preordered their Huffer.

You're "not" Grimlock.

Am I the only one who thinks that these grey prototypes look better than the fully coloured production toys? Maybe its the bright colours that ruin it. Maybe these would better with darker, more metalic colours applied?

I want these.

Lets just hope these pics arent the only thing doing these figures justice. If these come out ANTHIN like sonicron, I wont touch them.
As prime from "Prime Reviews" said so clearly on the matter:
FLOPPY FLOPPY!

I hope you understand these are made by different groups.
You probably don't have any iGear seekers, the level of quality is far superior to Sonicron.

Awesome figs i preorderd them and i can't wait.

The scale is great in my opinion, as deluxe these characters would not work in their altmodes compared to other classics. On top of that the Autobots needed some voyagers to even it out.

No offense to both stores but if you pre-order them from the Igear shop you get free shipping and on top of that their prices are lower.

Wont you have to pay customs fees though?

Two things working for the reason to by from TFsource or BBTS.


Number One: Customer Service and Support are the biggest reasons.


I choose BBTS usually due to POL and Not charging your CC until it's shipped. Which is better, It means I have some time before both this 100$ figure, and this 100$ figure some out.

It means I can Pre-order PP05W (which I did the second this was posted) and I don't have to worry about missing it, and I don't have to pay for it until it's on its way to me.

I have the same logic going for TFC Not-Devy, break up that 600 figure over the course of 8 months, so I'm spending roughly 100 every month and a half and it's affordable.

No Offense to any one of the third party companies but I will not give CC information out overseas, with out some sort of Paypal transaction. Plus the difference in price is like 10$.
Then add in the customs tax, and it's worth just buying it from one of our great sponsors TFsource or BBTS.


I hope they post color pics soon.
and why hasn't BBTS taken per-orders for the PP03 seekers yet?
I still want "not Thrust"

Who knows.

The 'Not-Ironhide' looks pretty good.

A while back when TFSource put up the pre-orders for the iGear Seekers, I contacted BBTS to inquire if they would be putting up pre-orders as well. They told me that they won't be due to the product being too close on infringing on Hasbro/TT IP. I guess BBTS changed their mind with this batch of iGear figures...

I have been priced right out of the 3rd party market. I really would love to have Ratchet and Ironhide, but that's WAY too much money for that kind of figure. I know that they are selling it at that price due to the cost, but it's just too much for a voyager sized figure that's not really an exlusive.

If "Not Ratchet" and "Not Ironhide" are basically voyager sized I think it lines them up perfectly scale wise with Masterpiece Seekers, iGear Seekers and the new MP-10 Prime (not including the original MP Prime and MP Megs.)
Only one I am unsure of is Hotrod/Rodimus Prime. From pics I've seen, it looks like Hotrod is larger than voyager.

All though $120 is a bit too rich for my blood at the moment anyway so I don;t have to worry about it!

All your comments previous to what I've quoted are valid, except I'm unaware that TFClub is letting anyone order Hercules pieces directly from them, so you have to order from an online shop like BBTS or TFSource.

I've ordered from iGear directly in the past. They allow PayPal transactions AND I did not have to pay any additional customs taxes.

BBTS hasn't let me down yet, but this is simply a case of a cheaper price from the manufacturer. When I'm financially able, I will preorder the PP05 set directly from iGear.

If you are in the US then yes you can save some cash there. For anyone living outside the US it really doesn't matter, they can get the charge no matter what. When ordering from Igear you do get free shipping on top of the difference in price, so it was a go for me to buy it straight from the source.

I also don't know where they ship the items from. I got my Arcee from the UK so there was no import charge there as i am also located in Europe.
