The supportive wife part is very important.

Apparently, the Starscream seller I am meeting later is selling his collection because his wife wants him to sell all of them.

He has some Binaltech, a couple MPs left and some Lego.

Still hope that my Starscream is in good condition. I went and find MP-3 Starscream in Aussie eBay, the price is terrible.

RM1430 here:

Crazy la these combiner prices. They're nice and tempting... but how do people justify paying that much?

Yeah that's probably the best way to think about it!

I've also been on the fence about not-bruticus, the only thing holding me back is the price relative to what you get.

The combiner itself looks amazeballs... but the individual figures seem a bit lacking.

Air Burst is not so bad, but Heavy Noisy is just kinda meh, especially that shoulder articulation issue.

I guess worst case, if you do ever suffer from buyer's remorse, you can just sell it off at minimal loss since this is a high-demand item

Dammit bro why are you telling me all this...

The temptation is growing...

Still waiting for my Heavy Noisy, but looking at the way the feet is going to peg into him.. (the slot looks thin and might be prone to breakage). I think we are going to be surprised at the price of the body. Possibly a bit more expensive than the main bodies of other toys. If you think about it in terms of "number of pieces". TFC and MMC combiners pretty much have a lot of accessories, for ARES, sword, gun, feet, hands etc etc. Now so far for Warbotron each of the Bruticus we are getting is only the main figure itself and as you say, the price is surprisingly good.

This makes me believe after the 4 figures,  we'll get Onslaught at possibly  more than rm 400-500. Which will include the hands and feet + weapons (which I hope is not an add-on)

yeah i was 100% warbo supporter until the shipping fiasco  and I was one of those that actually got mine less than a month after bbts from X2O. Heard from 1Toy tauke up till now still no full AirBurst shipment yet (I get it that BBTS paid in advance to get 1st dibs.. but on Warbo's side, they should have notified all their retailers that they will be getting it later etc etc. Ah well.. at least they fixed tat particular issue with Heavy Noisy and hope it continues.

so meaning what? They are original but because they failed QC, hence they called it KO?   

by providing information how to differentiate and review would be fine IMHO. if wanna provide where to buy and stuffs, which involve business nature... that probably can PM that particular person instead post public since it doesn't favor all parties.

  fine with all everyone?

Buster Prime for that price is sorta okay but if Jetfire Prime twin pack can get that price, of course it's better. Damn, need to do more research...

If you sell Jetfire, I might buy

Hmm just read this info that the combiner ports on Heavy Noisy does not have ratchets O_O. Sounds like it'll end up being floppy T_T

Lol u r referring to a fb post right?
Theres a fella selling for rm 350 today a fb. But i miss it lol.

Hmm I wasn't sure if i wanted to get the FWI set for my ROTF Leader prime, because mine isn't buster and no metallic paint..  not sure if it would look good.. in conclusion.. it does :|... u ghh temptation.. (even though i'm not a movie line fan)

I shall only return to this thread once this page is done!!! lol. Very nice. Honestly the FWI add-on is what Hasbro should have done. No point making it transformable and end up Prime looking like he's "wearing" jetfire.

I ordered Warbotron Bruticus just to try it out.

The first figure I received so far (Heavy Noisy) is quite disappointing for me.

Plastic quality, engineering and transformation is nowhere near worth the price.

I guess you have to evaluate these combiners as part of one big bot. And not so much as individuals...
