TFCToys Gear of War 2 Set - Crystal Version

I don't know whether to be thankful of not that I don't have one of these Crystal Convoy figs. I'd have to get a trailer from one company and a weapon set from another.

Thankfully I can pass on this.

You will, in time. Crystal Convoy, awesome! Clear guns? Not awesome. I'm just not feelin' it. Of course I didn't pick up the normal set either. Was it worth it?

This set surprised the hell out of me, I thought that since the Gears Of War 2 set was just simply leaps and bounds in the field of 3rd party armorments(trust me it's a great set.) that a Crystal version would be outstanding. BUT they are completely transparent from what I can tell from pics, they should have done them in a transcluscent render or perphaps use maybe transcluscent black, blue, & grey(smoke) instead of all clear. This really isn't going to match up all that well with figs or show off the amount of detail(and these weapons do have some nice detail, the molds are well notched with vents/muzzle guards/etc.) Hope they ditch the see through and go another direction with it, then FP needs to do a Crystal Commander for Crystal Convoy, and then we need a Ghost Coronation set for Ghost Screamer & then a black dead Screamer, and......I've overloaded my brain now.

Looks like a set of cool shite!

I'm with CP on this. This is pretty pointless. Are there really that many crystal Convoys around that there's a market for clear trailers and guns?

I personally want the crystal convoy if i can find it and I agree that FP needs to do a crystal commander for it. but I'm iffy on the clear weapon set. It could be fixed with some translucent paints but that would be tricky to do and at the price it would suck to botch the job. Don"t get me wrong the LEDs look very cool in the dark but the weapons need some color. As far trailers go I want a commander and G3 for each of my prime/convoy molds so yeah there is a market for them. I don't care for the best toys trailer though, It also doesn't look right.
