Abominus WHEN edition
What was his name again?
>>5778093
Yes plz. Him and Piranacon and Predaking, now.
>>5778101
John "if its not g1 it won't be done" warden
>>5778102
idgaf about piranacon and predaking i just want the last Scramble City combiner done
>>5778104
Well, think about it this way: Predaking's the most popular of the late G1 combiners. If he gets made, they're gonna remold the shit out of his limbs/torso to give us the other animal-style bots, for sure.
So it's either hope we see a Predaking, or you better get $600 together to go buy a 3P combiner.
Wheres muh cartoon accuracy Takara?
>>5778115
idk I like the MMC design too much to substitue for a Hastak version
And it wouldn't really work since Predaking isn't a Scramble City combiner
>>5778120
If they tried to paint that bit it'd be a waste of time. What they should've done was just put blue/tan plastic as the "top" of the peg.
>>5778122
Doesn't matter if it wasn't SC, it'll end up a CW/UW figure if they do it because it makes the most business sense.
>>5778122
>Predaking isn't a Scramble City combiner
Neither was Optimus Prime. I also don't recall Blurr, Scourge, Blaster, Soundwave, Galavtron, and Optimus being headmasters either, yet they are now.
>>5778125
They should've at least remold the pecs, I can't stop seeing Hound hoodchest.
>>5778120
>cartoon-accurate paint job on a new design that doesn't actually adhere to the cartoon to start with
what's the point?
>>5778093
>I want more repaints
>I want another mild remold of a combiner I already own 3 slightly different copies of
Fucking hell I hope combiner wars fucking dies.
>>5778134
I dunno, I think he's perfect as-is.
>>5778140
You act like any other line isn't gonna be full of remolds. I sure hope you like that Blur and Scourge body, and Hardhead and Skullcruncher, because you're gonna be seeing them all at least twice before TR is done.
>>5778140
Good thing the molds are all solid as fuck then
>>5778146
>Good thing the molds are all solid as fuck then
I wouldn't say all.
>>5778154
Whatever you say anon
>>5778158
Yes. Not all the molds are solid. Many MANY people agree. Its okay. Im not bashing CW, but I'm also not going to deny there are some meh figures.
>>5778158
Eh, he has a point. Most of the CW molds are pretty damn good, but there are a few odd points, like the heli molds thin-ass ports that might lead to breakage even from normal use.
>>5778146
There's a Mr. "Helicopter Mold" here to see you, sir.
>>5778174
>Yeah there are some iffy molds but you can't deny molds like the Rook mold or the Hot Spot mold or the Silverbolt mold are incredible.
I wasn't. I was just saying that not all CW molds were solid like the claim was made.
>>5778174
>Admittedly that was a shitty design oversight, but the rest of the mold is pretty damn gud.
Yeah. I just hope mine hold up with time. It's gonna suck if they break a few years from now and everyone is suddenly scrambling for replacements.
>>5778186
Ouch. Funny part is where I live the shelves are packed with Vortex's and Swindle's and nothing else right now.
>>5778102
>Piranacon
Only if Tentakil is made very androgynous. I want my God Neptune.
>>5778188
Where I live it's a bunch of Deluxe Grooves and then all the Combaticons except Brawl. And the Leaders are shelfwarming
>>5778190
All I want out of a new Tentakil is some motherfucking tentacles with at least 3 ball joints per tentacle for crazy wacky arm shenanigans. But that probably would never happen without it being a 3P or MP styled toy.
>>5778191
>Where I live it's a bunch of Deluxe Grooves
Seriously? Where?
>>5778204
Taiwan senpai. They had 2 Grooves on the shelf next to Blast Off last time I checked
>>5778172
It's weird, I hear this and that about stress marks and breakage on the AB mold, and I have Blades, AB, and Vortex, and I have yet to experience any stress marks on any of them.
>>5778256
Then you got lucky. Both of mine (Blades, Vortex) are stressed.
>>5778256
My Vortex's left knee broke about 10 minutes after I cracked open the packaging due to me hamhanding it. Once I figured out how to transform it properly it seems to be holding fine. His right leg seems to be completely OK.
I think it's just a question of transforming it right
The peg on Buzzsaw is actually pretty short to peg into. But the leg chunk fits perfectly to sit down a figure and those holes are 5mm

I have created a new metric called Purchase Score to rate my purchases. Positive score means I paid less than what it's worth to me, 0 score means I paid what it's worth to me, and negative score means that I paid more than what it is worth to me. Bad purchases start below -10 or so since it is okay to overpay a little bit. Damn you, Animated Ultra Magnus.

how the fuck did you get a universe dinobot that cheap in this day and age?
>>5778333
The body is attached from the back using a star like piece to the rest of the limbs. 4 ball joints and 4 socket for the limps.
For some reason they didn't remove the 3 left over ball joints for this. I assuming the star piece is not unique for this line only.
>>5778386
Buy an extra one and give him 4 arms, or make a spider-bot.
so, this is an alt mode where the treads touch the ground.

What do the random pegs on top of the Fireflight mold do?
>>5778485
Nah, the distribution centers for Wal-Marts are notorious for haphazard handling of the boxes.
I remember one day unloading a truck when I worked at wal-mart where every glass item inside was broken.

Crap, I'm not sure exactly what triggered it but that low stock crap screwed me over a cheap mp thrust last time, especially since I'm still working at that time.
I'd enjoy the hasbro brainstorm better but I'm going full takara, screw this exclusive crap.
Not PC's fault, if I remember correctly someone questioned how they were getting so many takara mall exclusives so they scaled back, a damn shame but no matter.
Oh and now you guys know walmart is supposedly selling those, get hyped
>>5778533
>someone in the comment section of this post corrected them
>its walgreens
Whoops
>>5778533
It's a Walgreens exclusive, I don't think it's going to be THAT hard to find, and the not only will the Takara be more expensive, it doesn't look like they remolded him to resemble his G1 toy more (he's probably getting his Headmasters head, but if you like it, then I guess that's good enough reason to get it).
>>5778550
I mentioned the correction >>5778548 but keep in mind, premium collectables, while they sell around the world when it comes to hasbro exclusives they're the ONLY guys to really get them.
And last time they warned about getting limited supplies in half an hour their allocated stock was out.
Takara's may cost more but its not limited at least, I'm not gonna demolish my wallet on the second hand market and trying to buy from US sources (which I assume would get more stock) would leave me worse off than takara's.
I wanted hasbro's one, but I want a complete matching set, and so far the hasbro ones haven't come out locally so my choice is clear, takara won.
>>5778093
If Has/Tak can figure how to make him and reuse the molds for a decent PredaKing using Skylynx, that would be the first boxset I'd buy.
Cleaner look at Liokaiser.

All the cassettes exist to serve Blaster or Soundwave. They're all designed from the ground up to be a shape, then a vehicle, then a robot. How well they play depends on how well you play with City Mode.
>>5778644
>not rotating brawlmold feet to the rear side
I like this configuration, longer shins and help the proportions.
Does tf source usually suck balls at getting stuff in? I've had wave one of Titans return preorderes here and all they have in is blaster, where as my fucking apeface just shipped this morning, making it my first figure. What the flip?
>>5778652
I'm not sure, anon.
To me, it just seems asymmetrical with the legs and feet.
Why does Swindle!leg have two feet guns, while Brawl!leg only has one?
>>5778383
Don't get too excited. It wasn't a good deal at all.
First, I bought it in 2012. Second, It was supposed to be missing the dildo accessory, but third, when it came, it was missing more. Fourth, the seller didn't care and ignored my messages. Fifth, it also had a malformed hip joint that the seller didn't bother telling me about, making the leg horribly loose and impossible to tighten by the usual ways.
This is back when I was too stupid to open a paypal dispute too, so I got nothing but bad memories about this purchase.
>>5778358
Red means "Why the fuck did I buy this? I need to get rid of this toy NOW"
Black means I sold the toy, hence the numbers in the sold for column.
Green is for toys I absolutely must not sell, hence all the nostalgia BW toys.

I love him. He has the most complete set of BW toy reviews except for that MindZombie guy, but his videos hardly count because they are complete shit.

It is kinda weird though that this guy had hot sex with a girl and impregnated her despite being so ugly and fat, but this is real life man. Ugly people get laid all the time because there are just so many of them.

You extended the leg modes for Swindle and Brawl? Shouldn't they flop around at the inner joints?
I'm personally more partial to the CW Bruticus and the G2 Fruiticus, since I have the former (along with the PE hands and feet).
>>5778670
I personally can look past asymmetrical colors (most of the time, anyway) if the silhouette is symmetrical. Only time asymmetry in colors is an issue if they are two conflicting colors vying for attention, or one color dominates.
>>5778684

How can something be edgy with those adorable little flappy arms?
>>5778093
I can dream.
>>5778710
A heavy retool.
Its all there, forearms (not sure if hollows will remain), chest, FEET, truck cab and anime accuracy to headmasters, and supposedly a new head/helmet
Looking at his feet he's gonna be taller with possibly more ankle articulation, new guns too from the looks of it.
>>5778120

I'll give one thing.
The hasbro version has more color variation, the silver on the abdominal area and differing hands help.

Hasbro superior? Hardhead grab my tits before I wack this gajin!
>you ride in class, i smell your ass!
>>5778749
This is the hard part of tf collecting between takara and hasbro.
Hasbro usually seem quite cheap while takara aims for anime accuracy and gets better looks as a result, the new heads offer amazing likenesses to their anime counterparts, this is true, and the same colored titan master vehicles are a plus, but there is a cost...
Hasbro's on the other hand look decent due to the mold colors being varied enough, while hasbro hard head has less paint apps he still stands out as the hardhead we know and love, as they're quite minimal, same to most of the others.
So far mindwipe and chromedome hasbro versions take advantage of the fact takara is following anime accuracy, and much like UW defensor they got less/boring color changes (I kinda dig the grey knees on mindwipe over the black).
If I don't find any local titan masters I'll go full takara, and so far that is becoming a reality by the second...
>>5778752
I prefer it when the only difference was paint job.
Hate this fragmentation.
>>5778752
Fully agree, I was joking with that Chromedome pic, so far the only takara offerings I 'm getting are Blurr and SuperGinrai.
>>5778754
Takara is smart, japan is only a tiny tiny country.
By attracting foreigner purchases they can profit alot more on their end over the hasbro domestic releases.
>>5778757
I knew you were since it was followed by a reaction based image.
So far the only takara releases that really popped out at me have been blurr, scourge , blaster (dem paint jobs) and super ginrai.
I know astrotrain will be a must have, but the headmaster deluxes I'm partialy to either

>>5778848
Pretty much perfect, just wrong color on the visor.
Guys, I need some help identifying a Devy head. Does the G1 version have lime-y green eyes and the G2 version have yellow eyes or are they both the same?
You know, whilst pretty much all of Armada needs an update, I really wish Blurr in particular would get one. His original toy actually looked awesome despite being a brick (the legs had thigh swivels even though they could barely move!) and the overall design is just neat, especially in car mode.
>>5778863

It's Mega Morphing Robot Collect 'em All by Bioworld! I'll call him Redline for short, just because.
I picked him up at Sears today in one of those shirt packs. Oh, looks like his spoiler fell off...
>>5779113
Oh. Okay, that's cool I guess. He can have a shield in bot mode?
I picked Redline up cause the Dinonot was pretty good, but only time will tell.
>>5779105
>>5779113
Found one of those in white, reminds me of that crappy Nova Prime.
>>5779115
Mm. Hm. Uh.
Okay, he's flimsy. Hella flimsy. And that waist swivel is nothing to laugh at, I popped that little hinge off at least five times trying to turn it 180 degrees. There's no spot for the spoiler, and the only spot for the cab hangs down over his thighs. But he doesn't look all that bad, right?
>>5779118
Oh, by the way, he has backwards elbows, backwards wrists, his knees have a whopping ten degrees of bend, his arms can't go forward, his legs don't have any outward spread or forward swing. I would have posed him, but this is as much as he can physically do.
Wow, Redline.

Also he has a tendency to do this.
Everyone makes mistakes, I guess. The Dinonot lured me in with its decent quality and this is what I get. Rip in pieces in altmode on the back of my low shelf, guy. At least I got a shirt out of the bargain.
If you would like to ruin all surprises for yourself regarding Titans return, go to the website shmax and search for Titans return.
It's got a list of the entire line
>>5779138
You're right, and I like what I'm reading.

You guys really think those releases are difficult to believe? I guarantee this list is accurate
Oh wel this is the same fan base where I buy figures and still have people doubting me that I bought them lol
>>5779210
Nobody said they weren't possible, just because they're listed on a obscure collector site puts them exactly where we heard about them months ago.
>>5779187
Now the question is if he is only Broadside with different colors and head, or if there is also a Flattop version that has remolding which it shares with Tidal Wave compared to Broadside to give a more spacecraft feeling.
>Laying the head on it's belly for an """airplane""" mode that still has a face
>>5779012
Oh no, I don't like excessive "PARALLEL LINES AND VENTS EVERYWHERE" either, but I think Swindle's legs are actually fairly well done. The black pipes add just enough colour breakup and the detail looks functional, rather than just being a mess of lines and ridges. I do like minimalist designs, provided they have some detailing (such as subtle panel lines, rivets etc, like on MP-10) and aren't literally just flat, barren surfaces (like MP Inferno's legs).
BBTS preorders still haven't shipped, wtf?
>>5779138
I wonder what "Iron Apex" is about. A Godbomber for Powermaster OP since Apex Armor was the name for the re-issue? Rename of one of the other 1987-1988 guys? A new character entirely.
>>5779138
>Please give hits to my site
>>5779246
Probably Apex Bomber/God Bomber. From what I remember reading, he's rumored to be a deluxe but that's a bit small if he's meant to combine with Ginrai.
>>5779182
>doesn't know the campaign for the new Titan class shit from months ago
Your new is showing senpai.
>>5779244
Yeah, I'm sitting here waiting for my fucking Deluxes to come in already, dunno what the shit is going on here.
>>5779261
The chest is already covered, so it would need to form shoulder cannon, bigger feet, and tiny arm wings?
At this point I don't know why they didn't make the cab part able to form an Optimus Prime on its own so they could go all out on little head guy->truck guy->trailer truck guy->double trailer truck guy
>>5778619
Who dis? Baltamatrix? I like him if that's who it is.
>>5779273
>At this point I don't know why they didn't make the cab part able to form an Optimus Prime.
Because that would easily increase the price way past the leader price point. I don't think even Takara's doing it.
The better question is; why has no third party company done anything?
>>5779252
That isn't my site lol I'm just a stupid transfag hyped for some leaked release info
>>5779278
>Because that would easily increase the price
Takara already did, their price is 8500 yen (85 dlls aprox) Hope the rumors about new arms and wrists are real.
>>5779284
It's almost completely remolded. It's got new forearms, hands, ankles, feet, head, and definitely appears to have his power master attached to his chest.
>>5779284
It was increased, but considering all the changes, I think it balances out.
>Hope the rumors about new arms and wrists are real.
You can tell from pics they did a ton of changes:
-Legs
-New hand held guns
-New/altered cab
-New feet
-New chest piece (may be a power master figure, it's hard to tell at the moment)
-A good chunk of the arms are new (I think only the shoulders were the same)
-Probablyl has new head
>>5779187
I swear to fuck, I've only been collecting Legends figs and Titan Masters but if this happens, I will get him, dammit.
>>5779290
Wouldn't all this remold afect the rumored Apex armor? Takara would have to do their own mold again.
>>5779301
>Takara would have to do their own mold again.
Yep, it's going to be great.
Made this for use as a quick reference, if there's anything I missed, let me know.
I think they learned this stuff through the deco design documents we saw triggerhappy and co, just from the way they talk about the figures (like voyager optimus having two heads, and megatron maybe being a jet like we're speculating).
I'm annoyed somewhat by these leaks, they build no anticipation, instead of being disappointed later, I'm disappointed now!
>>5779313
>Krok's detailing indicates that he's a plane
>gets turned into a gator
wew
>>5779313
I should note that the collector site has three figures that I don't think were confirmed through the podcasts.
Eject
Hosehead
Snapdragon
Ejects a given, but I wonder what their basis is for the other two? nontheless I've not included them.
>>5779321
Cuz his names KROC! LIKE CROC! AS IN! ALLIGATOR! LOL!
I imagine his headmaster will be called Gatoraider.
>>5779329
eh, getting a Krok repaint out of Skullcruncher is too boring, I'll keep the TFCC one, it's fucking perfect
>>5779331
It's one of their better figures, i'll give them that.
>>5779323
>Hosehead
>Snapdragon
Are these the actual transforming heads with the bodies or just the heads again?
>>5779222
I would buy all three. I love aircraft carrier alt modes and there aren't enough of them. Plus Flattop is the best.
>we will NEVER EVER have a non-Minicon retail release of Reflector
JUST
>>5779338
Deluxe and Voyager apparently
Snapdragon being a voyager would make sense, he is a triplechanger, but they somehow still manage to cock it up by making his pal, and only other triplechanger headmaster, JUST A FUCKING HEAD.
That is, if it's happening, which I doubt in all honesty. I reckon he'll be a Titanmaster that comes with a retooled version of the beast that crashbash comes with.
>>5779338
My money's on just booster packs. Hasbro seems to be playing it safe by giving more noticeable characters Headmaster treatments and leaving a fair chunk of actual Headmasters as bonus figs.
So I went out to my local Wal-Martâ„¢ to look for some Titans Return figures, sadly they had none but hey I did find a nice "CW WheelJack"!
>>5779349
>a retooled version of the beast that crashbash
I'd say he will be a retooled Crashbash, he already has the teeth on the legs.
>>5779368
Honestly that's a pretty decent figure and id be tempted.
>>5779371
Oh wait, I thought that was energon Wheeljack. Nvm, not sure what figure that is.
>>5779368
He seems a little different than the rest, must be a walmart exclusive!
>>5779369
I guess It could be straight up Crashbash with a new face, but I'd rather it be a entirely new mold I'm wondering if they'd bother to remold the winged beast to look like a jet.
>>5779375
>not sure what figure that is.
Its a frankenstein made of cybertron Override with cw Wheeljack head and cybertron Overhaul legs.
>>5779377
Why would anyone do that?
>>5779377
Brought him home with me, get a look at those cool accessories he comes with!

TWO sets of directions?! I didn't know wheeljack was a triple changer!
>>5778681

>>5779395
Not that guy but hes not entirely wrong
Datsuns, Fairladies, Seekers
>>5779401
I appreciate that you actually bought this...but why?
>>5778739
Man, I like the head sculpt on Chromedome, but I hate his alt mode.
And I love the helecoptor guy, but I hate his face it has.
>>5779406
Somethin to do innit?
>>5779406
>>5779401
Cuz it's a walmart exclusive friend! Couldn't pass up on an opportunity like that!
Look at this magnificent thing! no hfg but TWO whole missiles AND an entire backup arm!
>>5779403
Datsun and Fairladies are the same though.
>>5779411
Hurry up and transform him.
>>5779408
Give Helecopter guy (highbrow) Chromedomes head.
>>5779411
Honestly some one shouldve been fired for this, thats the worst case of who fucking cares ive ever seen
>>5779411
>>5779415
This must be some sort of cybertronian alt mode
>>5779414
Meant one of those to be lambo
>>5779428
>>5779428
>>5779428
I would assume these are the leftovers from whatever custom the guy wanted Wheeljack's bod from, so just imagine what horrible amalgamation he made with that and the other parts of those poor bots.
Anyone who can ID all the chunks?
>>5779418
Oh yeah~ Headmaster gimmick.
Awesome!
>>5779428
Headmasters really loose to anyone else? I got Blurr and Hardhead and it seems like the best way to keep the heads from wobbling is to flip the Headmaster's little robot head around to the front.
>>5779447
That's the way it's supposed to be angled, just look at the slot and the way the heads are shaped.
>>5778469
You can, the hinge points are easily accessible, so you can lop the cockpit off and have a classics galvy without the third modes.
>>5779428
I imagine the product these were frankensteined for would be online somewhere.
>>5779414
Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus. Tailgate was a retool of Windcharger. And G2 was literally repaints of old G1 figures.
>>5779451

>>5778309

>>5779467
>>5778619
doesn't seem to have much of a passion for what he does as he won't show something because "it's in the box" and such or he won't take 5 minutes to look on TFWIKI because "im not going to bother" video quality is professional his reviews arn't
I can get the 25th anniversary edition of Unicron for $90 Canadian, still in the box.
Is this good or bad?
>>5778619
Is he the one that sounds like he has a sore throat?

>>5779500
You don't like epic memes?
>>5779501
I meant that the person who returned it probably jammed a bunch of random pieces of broken transformers together when he re-packed that into the box for return.
>>5779502
Sadly true. I'd hoped for more retooling than beyond the face, but the silhouettes we saw recently throws that hope out the window.
>>5779046
spinister looks mega retarded
>>5779313
omg a legends class bumblebee, everyone get one before he is off the pegs
>>5779512
It's based on or is similiar to the devastation design, so I'd say it's somewhat desirable.
If it's like wheelie it'll be able to fit a headmaster, i.e, Emissary, i.e, Spike Witwicky.
I was wondering how strong mp inferno's arms would be to hold red alert.
But I never noticed the alternate grill, no chrome, less detail, and that obvious clear part stuck to it acting as a holding place for red alert.
Dunno why I just thought he had strong joints

Five bucks says we get a Broadside redeco a year later.
And sweet, I can finally finish my Legends Insecticon collection.
>>5779550
I hope so, I'm fine with my old Tidal Wave, he needs to be big, Voyager is too small for him. I'm fine with Assaulter but I love options and I know lots of people only do official so we're overdue for a Wreckers style Broadside
still need to buy an old Jetfire and do the hip mod
>>5779512
Yet strange enough I have to yet to see a g1 accurate legends version like Swerve/Tailgate or CW Powerglide/ Comos
>>5779568
this one's not bad for a legends scale g1 fella
>>5779547
They found out you want him. Fuck off Boco.
>>5779568
Thrilling 30 BB was kinda close. But we'll never get an accurate vehicle mode again, what wit Volkswagon being all anti-war. I still have no idea how the Masterpiece toy came to exist.
>>5779495
At the cost of being a triple changer this special wheeljack can no longer turn into a decent robot limb
>>5779497
You don't think how he says BUTT is funny?
>>5779566

>>5779620

That is simply not true as explained in this post. The more likely explanation is money.
>>5779609

Yep, that's the hamhanded normy dad of the tf toy reviews, Baltmatrix
how does /tfg/ feel about Peaugh? He seems well adjusted, but it's a little weird that he sometimes does reviews while he's at work.
>>5779660
>sometimes
It feels like he's always at work, I keep wondering how he hasn't gotten in trouble for that shit, what does he even do?
I don't mind him I guess, but he barely shows off the articulation which is my biggest issue, he just says "the arms can go out" or stuff like that without really demonstrating.
>>5779660
I like him, he doesn't do gimmicks, isn't a manchild, makes an attempt to know the toy, edits his shit properly, shows you what you need to know about the toy, plus interesting fan modes, and his voice isn't annoying.
>>5779664
He does it on his breaks, at home, and when he worked nightshift, I assume between broadcasts. He works in radio btw.

Well the arms could go out, what else do you want from him? The arms fucking go out. It's like somebody telling you they have to pee and you saying "But lemme see you pee so I can be sure you really pee."
>>5779694
I just mean about specific ranges, for instance some figures are very limited due to shoulder plates or something, whereas others can go full 180 up and down, so its important to see exactly

>tfw examining your transformers and finding stress marks you never knew existed
I'm too fucking paranoid for my own good. I've never even broke a toy before, but I'm always looking for stress marks, and once I find one, my enjoyment of the toy goes way down. It doesn't help that we get meh plastics nowadays and the toys often get marks just from assembly.
So, is this worth getting?
>>5779660
Nice guy who is pretty honest and unpretentious in his work. I only wish he did just a little bit more editing to clear up some of the fluff in his reviews. But given that he's often first on the scene, I accept that trade off. His lack of edits sometimes also helps me understand a toy better. If he's struggling to get some panels lined up, I get to see the real experience. You don't always get a full understanding if a review shows the transformation as a montage and then casually mentions that a part of it was hard.
>>5779770
Nah, unless you really, really like the new head, otherwise just get the hand-feet combo. Speaking of PE, where are they going to release this? they keep pushing it back.
>>5778533

Runescape228 and wotafa.

I was going to get one set for each combiner. I have 3 combiner teams Plus may get computron and only one set of the PE hands and feet. They aren't worth it. Even the KO versions are a bit much for better ankles. I say ankles because the hands are garbage even if official.
>>5779770
That backpack for Shockwave looks utterly useless whenever Bruticus isn't holding him. The purple doesn't even match.

It's not like 30 each is a good price either. I can get another Detolf with the price of two PE sets.

No add-on has a good price.
20 would be perfect IMO. No idea what prevents them from producing enough of these things to lower the price since these are pretty much a necessity with how bad the stock ones are.
>>5779852
It's a luxury item produced by small companies in China is why. I own PE sets for my 4 combiners (plus the extra Menasor set).
They're worth it if you look at it in terms of having bought everything over time. $30 is less than 2 Deluxe's at this point, and makes a much more expressive overall combiner. Yeah, it'd look ridiculous if you bought 4 sets of them at once ($120 on hands/feet? Fucks sake), but as an over time purchase it's not so bad.

>>5779860
I actually got 3 sets from PE currently, the white set, the black set, and the much needed torso add-on for Menasor and I talked to the guy who I usually buy my PE which is the same guy that Vangelus usually gets his review stuff from if he still has the Purple and he said he still has a couple for TFcon. Actually I probably should remind him of that or he might just sell it to somebody instead of holding it for me.
