Gigapower's dinobots are going to be massive, me like! Both version A and B are nice, but since version A have those spikes located more toward the end of the tail, my vote is for A also.

Twoducks Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 They keep this up I'm dumping my Scoria preorder. That dino mode + the robot mode works great. The potato look of Scoria now really bothers me for the asking price. Giga says they plan to go under 200$ for their bigger dinobots.

Valkyrie2008 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 My preorder of Scoria (Mr. Potato Head) have a none refundable deposit, otherwise I would cancel it in a heart beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This might make me buy 3P toys. Maybe. Snarl and Swoop beating the crap out of the original dinobots was always my favourite episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie2008 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Me Swoop no see nothing! I'll wait for the Gigapower version. Hopefully giga will use quality materials and some diecast for all their dinos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pre-orders are up. Pass. I can swallow Scoria for $200 but no way is this simple thing worth $200 too. How much will Sludge and Grimlock be? 260? 300?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pre-orders are up. Pass. I can swallow Scoria for $200 but no way is this simple thing worth $200 too. How much will Sludge and Grimlock be? 260? 300?? why should grimlock or Sludge they be any more costly than scoria? i think they are shooting for $200 across the board (by the time the american retailers sell it which I suspect is more like $145 or so in China) which i think is why they are giving us a stand and an extra set of chromed wings for Soar (adding perceived added value/content to justify price). Then again i could see grimlock being a touch more since they could likely get away with it becasue... grimlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie2008 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah, 200 smackers for Swoop is a bit much. I think his beak is a tad too long in bot mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again i could see grimlock being a touch more since they could likely get away with it becasue... grimlock. Why not? The excuse with Scoria was size, parts number and complexity. None of this is the case with Swoop. The perceived added value is very poor. Chucking out an extra set of wings when nobody asked and selling a stand as something special is still very little to justify the price. BUT if people just blindly preorder and let FT run with the rather evident price hike then that opens the gates for more price hikes. Sludge? He is supposed to be very big and FT has already said it is difficult to design. There is your excuse to ask more for it. And like you say, Grimlock is Grimlock.

M'Kyuun Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 That Warbotron not-Brawl looks great, head notwithstanding. It's G-1ish enough to make him recognizable, well articulated, and I like what they did with his main gun. I wish this was official Hasbro..these third party toys tend to be expensive for their sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I wish this was official Hasbro..these third party toys tend to be expensive for their sizes. I guess it's down to cost of development, Hasbro can soak up the dev costs as they'll get a big return from world wide sales, these small guys have higher costs due to size of runs etc. But I stand by their work 99.9% of it is better than Hasbro.

Scyla Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I love MMCs Airborne Squad. They are great toys. Even after all the time I had my Warper I still love to play with him. So many options! Sorry for the crappy pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Blade Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Glad it's happening. Always liked Computron and the fact that he matched more than most other combiners. Besides Strafe's, the other alt modes are kinda lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
