On a separate note, got my Groove on Saturday, and he's not bad, the way the legs clip together is kind of mundane, and poorly designed, but everything else about him is amazing, and really reminds me of the quality of figures from a time long passed, definitely doesn't feel or look like a hasbro figure (which, it isn't)

I got a UW on pre-order at BBTS...so I will get it eventually. But all of the CW sets (sans G2 Bruticus which is still relatively new) have gone on sale at some point. I've noticed the proce came back up, but at one point Victorion was on sale at Target.com for $72.99 (that's when I got mine). Though CW Computron coming towards the end. Perhaps not as many were produced so who knows. Still I'll be patient unless these start to sell out quickly

The thing is, I don't need this set, so I'm going to wait for a really good sale, getting it through target at a deep discount would be great if it doubled up with their low free-shipping rates

Yeah, Groove felt like a figure from a year or two earlier, really great. Meanwhile, yesterday I managed to track down the 5 CW limbs I was missing at Marshalls, and I'm really disappointed in the feel of the two I've opened so far. Smokescreen feels cheap, but still seems okay, maybe some Pledge on some joints will be needed, but nothing too bad. Wheeljack.... ugh... Not the deco I usually see complaints about, just nothing fits right like it did on past uses of the mold. His front section of the car won't even peg onto the midsection due to them using plastic that's too soft to hold the connection. Glad I didn't pay full price for that one. Even ten bucks seems high.

Thanks a ton for this! I just ordered the TT version of Computron from AmiAmi.
A few weeks ago, when I checked out their site, they were all pre-sold-out. I was sad, thinking I'd never get my hands on that amazing piece of puzzlement art. Grimlock will be pleased.

Got my Takara Computron last Wednesday from robotkingdom. He's awesome BUT strafe came with two left thighs and knees so that sucks. You can't use him as an arm for full motion. I contacted Robotkingdom asking for if anything a replacement right leg for Strafe, they asked for photos and I sent them pics showing he has two left thighs and knees and I've yet to hear back for a solution. I've contacted them yesterday for an update and still no reply back. Might be boned.

That sucks. This is one of the major reasons I don't order from overseas, especially cuz I have bad luck with this sort of stuff.

You could take it apart and fix it. Might look a bit odd if you look closely, but it'll work.

Those in Japan can order at Amazon Japan, via a third party vendor for around 100 dollars (Ichi man) :

No, it's not. One side of the pin is extremely wide while the other side isn't. It's not as simple as pulling the pin out and putting it back in and the hinge for transformation is on the outer side of the knee. You cant just flip it and have two working left knees. The legs transformations is like the rook mold where the hinges need to be flush with the inside of the leg. To try and reverse it would not allow anything to lock in. You'd be damaging the figure more attempting to do it.

Since HTS has two of them on sale and the whole new-ness factor has died down, I'm curious as to what the consensus is on the Combiner teams. Is there a stand-out set? Any major flaws I should watch out for? etc. I've kept out of the line for the most part, but that $30 price tag is mighty tempting....

Computron surprised me by being released in the UK.

If you want to have some fun toys I would strongly recomend you get both G2 sets. Everyone has their preferences but any flaws with previous releases of the molds were corrected for the G2 versions so there are no outright flaws. For 60$ you are getting a hell of a deal for several hours of fun!

Bruticus, Defensor, and Computron are a nice mix of different types of figures, but it's hard for me to single only one of these out as a stand-out. I love Superion and Menasor, but they are either all aircraft or all vehicles. Bruticus is probably my favorite as it includes a plane, Rook type Jeep (well, more like a Humvee), that awesome Hot Spot/Onslaught center torso, and most importantly the Alpha Bravo mold in Vortex. Computron deserves mention because of the remolding of some previous characters. Plus, he comes with a yellow wheel.
(As an aside, I'm actually not that impressed with the UW Blast-Off shuttle and much prefer the Strafe remold, but that's a different thread...)
If I had to rank the CW Gestalts, I'd go:
1. Bruticus
2. Computron (might be this high because of newness)
3. Defensor
4. Victorion
5. Superion
6. Menasor
I don't count Devastator as that would be unfair to the other Gestalts
I also don't count Optimuses, Cyclonus, Sky Lynx, but that's just me. I prefer to keep these characters separate and uncombined...
Cheers!
