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. sweat.gif

Binaltech? drool.gif

Please pm his sales thread if he has one.. or a list drool.gif

Crazy la these combiner prices. They're nice and tempting... but how do people justify paying that much?
*
other than 'it looks good'? whistling.gif
no idea.. i'm trying not to think about the end price.. i'm only picking up my first ever 3rd party combiner, warbotron's not-bruticus.. while he does look fantastic, they're 260 per limb and i estimate the body is going to be around 400
just think of them as separate purchases over a few months that combine into an amazing looking figure and you'll be fine whistling.gif just remember not to total them up

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 smile.gif
*
i have to say i'm pretty darned impressed with the individual figures too.. not-Brawl may be a bit lacking but i think he's still damn good looking and amazing display-wise
what made me go for warbotron's bruticus is the fact that the figures themselves are bigger compared to say, maketoy's or TFC's and the price is pretty much the same

that and bruticus has always been one of my favourites.. having a re-imagined figure of him is right up my alley

and yes, if you ever have buyer's remorse, you'll likely just be losing out less than 5-10% even when you resell BIB since people still buy them, so there's hardly any reason not to get one if you really feel that you like it

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)
*
even then, Diesel was 550.. and he comes with everything.. while each of the cars are 240 range each?
i'm sure the weapon will be a combination of all the parts' weapons.. and warbotron has already announced an additional weapons add on, which i don't think i'll be getting.. but it depends on how things go
if they screw up on the pricing of the main body there'll probably be a backlash, seeing as their distribution was already really really bad

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.
*
yup. PO-ed from 1toy and still haven't got my Airburst.. hope the other figures won't be as frustrating to get.. i'd want my bruticus completed as soon as possible so i can spread more poison here brows.gif

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

Unethical, yes.. but in my point of view, i would LOVE a striker prime but good luck finding one below or even close to 4-500
With all the 3rd party mods coming out, one cannot be expected to buy 5-10 leader primes so the KO is more welcome.. not to say KOs are okay though, sometimes it just happens to be the best solution laugh.gif
If i had the money i would, without a single thought, go for original for quality

Lets not bash either side.. this is still a transformers thread and we're gathered here as TF lovers.. no need to take sides

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? smile.gif

I'm fine with it.. like in the gunpla china thread we discuss about it but we dont provide info on where to buy or sell or who sells.. seller promotion is a huge no.. we do review and talk about hauls though.. and it works out fine for us

Sometimes KO is just the fix we need tongue.gif we are aware that the quality is questionable, and will probably end up as a brick.. but sometimes, thats all we need tongue.gif to display with our FWIs laugh.gif

There are some people who sell KO for a bit lower than market price for original, but way too high for a KO.. and then not mark it as KO, only say so when people ask sweat.gif
I've seen ko buster primes go for slightly below rm300, so if something seems to good to be true, be careful

QUOTE(erald06 @ Jul 20 2014, 06:59 AM)
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...
*
Jetfire prime u'd be lucky if u found below 6-700.. imo its not worth it, better to get a leader prime and fwi-3 upgrade.. i'm actually thinking i may want to sell my jetfire after i got the fwii3 whistling.gif

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

ratchets? the knee is supposed to be on onslaught right? it's only a port on heavy noisy, i don't think that is supposed to ratchet hmm.gif

mine is just the takara ROTF prime.. he does look really REALLY good laugh.gif i'm glad i got FWI3 for him
though now i grabbed the jetwing prime for a good price, i think i can hold off getting FWI4 for now laugh.gif

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 think hasbro actually had one voyager jetpower prime but got scrapped sad.gif if you check tfwiki it's still listed there

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...
*
I think the individual bots are great, though of course, wb01's appeal is in the massive combined mode
To me i feel its okay, price is around other combiners and he will turn out to be bigger than other companies'.. the figure itself is plenth solid too and transformation is intuitive.. but this is just my personal opinion.. i'm waiting for all of them combined to give my final verdict

This opinion is also due to the fact that the only other 3rd party combiner i had the chance to touch was superion and he was really reaaaalllyyy floppy
