90 bucks? Ouch. Don't care too much for them coming out in two different sets but yes... i will own both.

Not that this isn't really cool, and it isn't, but is it really worth it? I mean, maybe for Universe Bruticus. But the majority of the redeco's release is as a different Bruticus. So making it more like it was 25 years ago for a DOPPLEGANGER of the character doesn't make sense to me.

Not that I hate these though, just so you don't take me out of context, as people are prone to doing when it comes to naysayers like me.

So together, the cost is under $100, just like I thought. I laugh at all those people that were complaining so early bout this being $150+ and already denouncing the product before they knew shit! Oh, and I'm not laughing at anyone on this board...it's them other onez.

Hey, BBTS...

Where's my $8 discount for ordering both? Hrm..?

What's with BBTS saying April and May and TF Source says June? I say TF Source has the correct date.

Re: New Fansproject Preorders for Crossfire Munitioner and Explorer sets (1043187)

Preordered both. Here's hoping the second one doesn't get cancelled, leaving us with half a Bruticus.

Bwhahahaha. I don't have Bruticus so this can't poison me.... yet.

It wouldn't be the first time that BBTS gets something before TFSource or vice versa. It happens a lot. Got both sets and a Universe Bruticus preordered. can't wait to see color pictures. so far this thing looks fantastic!

I have my preorder in at BBTS, although I'm not to sure how well the sets will work with my Energon figures.

Calm down, I'm not going to waste the money for the ferry across to the island, just to stalk you. not cost effective.

But I do have people heading over there this week. :grin:

Just wondering, As i said before the Zellers around these parts still have a ton of combaticon sets and a few superions on shelves, Does Target still have a lot in stock as well?

I don't have a single piece of any version of the Engeron Combaticons--all I know is I WANT A BADASS SWIND--I mean Munitioner.

I suspect that over time we'll see more ugrades for Mr. B.R. Uticus.

I guess the price for one figure or the other is alright, they are complete & highly articulated stand alone figures. Considering the "Warbot's" price this is a fair markdown.

But what sort of bothers me is the fact each gets half of the upgrade set (at least I think so; BBTS only clearly described the Munitioner Set) I kinda expected at least one of them would be separate from the parts set, but I guess the good people of Fansproject figured you'd get these two is because you wanted the complete set. Which is fair.

Posted by Trikeboy on February 2nd, 2010 @ 4:45pm CST

God, why do fans have to produce stuff. It is always better and more expensive than the stuff Hasbro can make. We have these, Springer and the Rodimus Prime upgrade coming. Damn you Fansproject for getting the figures done right. This has just cost me £152.97 off BBTS (needed Bruticus).

I still haven't ordered WST Blaster and Shockwave or the Knight Morpher Commander (thanks to Seibertron's gallery I now want one). I am suffering from open wallet surgery here. Thank god for credit cards and a decent paying job. At least there is nothing official comming out that I want.

Actually, the parts make sense, Explorer (Blast-Off) comes with the parts that make up the trailer for Onslaught. They also turn into a launch pad for Explorer. Munitioner (Swindle) comes with all the smaller parts just like a junk seller. They put some thought into the sets.

Crap. This is expensive, but not as bad as expected. Still, I hope it's not released in April, because I can't afford both this and Springer.

Re: New Fansproject Preorders for Crossfire Munitioner and Explorer sets (1043263)
Posted by Abraxsis on February 2nd, 2010 @ 5:57pm CST

Nice, but no way can I ever afford $90 for this. Way outta my price range.

Is this the first set they released for this?

*sigh*

My wife is gonna be so pissed to see these on the credit card, and right before Botcon too, oh well, they are a must have. Makes me wish I would have picked up the dozen or so Bruticus Maximus sets on clearance at Target when I could.

Considering Warbot/Springer is nearly 80 dollars, 90 for two solid, third party figures with all the upgrade bits is actually less than I thought it was going to be. I've got the Bruticus set ready to go for this upgrade, but I'm actually thinking I may buy these and just display them as stand-alone bots. I need more Decepticons in my Classics era display.

Bought a Bruticus solely on the basis of this set. Ordered both sets already.

Actually, they really didn't steal your money. But I think they used their Jedi mind tricks on all of us.
