I don't really care what the final colors are going to be. I just cannot wait to have this huge combiner bot on top of my display standing with one foot on top of FP Bruticus and FP Superion in his grasp held over his head. Total Devastation!!

Off topic: I swear, only in the TF collecting world do people blur their advertisments to create teasers. I wonder if Chevy or Ford could get away with that type of nonsense in their advertisments ? And from the comments above mine, it looks like Im not the only one who does not respect this tactic.

I don't know that there's any differences to the head, I think that's just blurring. It would be strange if there are at this point, since the head is part of Dr. Crunk Crank, who has already begun shipping (I hope to have mine this week).
In any case, TFC, SHOW US THE DEVY!

I personally wouldn't have minded a purple drum on Blender. In fact, I think I would've preferred it. I don't think it would have looked too weird as most cement mixing trucks have drums that are coloured differently to the rest of the bodywork. Plus it would mean we wouldn't have eight bright green weapons.
I know Neckbreaker can't be seen clearly (even if it wasn't for the pointless blur), but looking at him I wouldn't be surprised if he had some paint apps on him too.

Holy sh*t this is Devastator?!
But seriously TFC, enough with the damn blurry teasers we know what 70% of it looks like, just show us the full thing with all of it's damn detailing already.
I mean seriously, most of those who care to see what it looks like already own half of the damn thing, just throw us a bone.

Yeah, some contrast there would be nice. Maybe they'll include both purple and green drum parts?Sodan-1 wrote:I personally wouldn't have minded a purple drum on Blender.

Yeah, right.
At least it isn't translucent red.
He very well could, it's just pretty obvious that Mad Blender's windows are unpainted.Sodan-1 wrote:I know Neckbreaker can't be seen clearly (even if it wasn't for the pointless blur), but looking at him I wouldn't be surprised if he had some paint apps on him too.

This has got to be the ABSOLUTE WORST FIGURE in the history of Transformers collecting. Everyone that foolish enough to spend this much money on a stupid piece of plastic should be led to the Cybertronian Smelting Pool. What a pile of scrap!

Don't you have a bridge to be under?

But all that aside, It's looking good.
I'd prefer purple parts for the mixing drum, but whatever.
I expect someone will make aftermarket parts for that at some point.

Well, with such a well thought out and informed argument like that, I really don't have a leg to stand on.
Cuff me.

It's a tough decision. I'm going to have trouble not getting them both because both Hercules and Giant look excellent, though that's a LOT of scratch. I'm already committed to the Hercster in any case; should be getting Structor and Dr. Crunk Crank this week; with Heavy Labor and Exgraver sitting in a pile of loot.

Much appreciated did we get a price for Giant yet? i think that might be my deciding factor

I'm glad he'll come with a visor! I don't think it's a whole new head ... what would be the point of that if the only difference is the visor? Although it doesn't make him nearly as toon accurate as a new head would (he'd need to be balding for that), it's still much appreaciated!
As for Herc VS Giant ... the real winners are the fans!

After receiving Exgraver I was so impressed with him as an individual I decided I wanted two of each, one set combined one set as individuals. This is just a fun side effect. I'm going to take some more pics shortly with the rest of my Classic Decepticons.

OK, that was a low blow, but this is coming from a country where credit isn't mainstream, but debit is.

Same here, 40 hours a week at the office plus working for shares on my family's cattle ranch. Plus the wife has a really good job, and we have no kids or debt. Even got the house paid off.

I only get 25 hours a week with while going to college. Most of my money goes to helping other people or paying for food, with the occasional deluxe figure every now and then.
