Lol this is the main reason why I dont like going there.
They are all a bunch of retards. Fighting over the stupidest things.
Dare you call a character by a wrong name over there. They will rip you to shreds.
Its this kind of mentality that angers me the most.
But eh what can you do, they are only American after all. Haha
BBTS pre-order for Green Giant due Jan 2014. Looks like a reissue?
Price is the same as its initial release, so far it doesn't seem to be up on the websites of the other two main players (RK and TFSource). Great chance for anyone who missed out on it the first time.
Just got an email saying TFSource will have stock in limited numbers.
Just recently purchased the Yellow Giant. And this news comes out now for Green Giant at a competitive price. Talk about bad timing.Quote:

At least you weren't the one of the twelve people who actually purchased this Green Giant only to find out you could had both Green Giant and Yellow Giant for $100 more!Quote:

Following on from TFSource, BBTS have also updated the estimated release date for Green Giant reissue to February 2014 (was suppose to be this month).
It's the only item I'm waiting on before I ship my PoL.
You got that right!Quote:

Do want!
Found some better images from maketoys.jp -- It gives him much more of a WFC/G1 look as well. By no means perfect, but it really improves the figure. And I already loved it how it was :D

This omega add-on is just over doing it, as I don't believe many people would be prepared to spend much more adding to this mold. Spending 100+ dollars, sorry that's just overkill. If it was just the cannon to upgrade the arm to complement the claw arm, they could of kept the price down and had more buyers. Also they are late to the party, most of the hype has surely disappeared.
Something is not quite right when the add-on cost more than the actual toy itself. YOTS Omega was priced at $98 at Big W.
FansProject City Commander was more expensive than Classics Ultra Magnus, BTS Toys' Mobile Command Base was more expensive tham Classics Optimus Prime, FansProject Protector was more expensive than Classics Rodimus, MakeToys Battle Tanker was more expensive than Reveal The Shield Optimus Prime (and so on). This is not a new thing. (And people were willing to spend, like, $400 on Planet X's Not-Omega-Supreme - even with buying both parts this set ends up being about half that price.)Quote:

Once these are coloured, I think I'll love the look of this lot - the Technobots are my favourite Scramble City team.

Still waiting on that bloody Like/Favourite button to be added! :DQuote:

Those designs look fantastic. I don't mind the big weapons that mount as external appendages as opposed to small weapons that are concealed during transformation; the weapons for FP's not-Stunticon's limb figures were too tiny!

The weapons ain't doing it for me, maybe I will get use to it
I was wondering if the Maketoys Technobots were going to make their rumored release date this year, and maybe they will.
The designs look quite nice. At a glance the weapons seem an improvement over some of the Giant's separate guns, but It also depends on how they work when combined. Can't wait to see.

Strafe's the first TF combiner toy that I'd purchased with my own pocket money as a kid so seeing this updated version really makes we want this.
Would like to see a slight tilt downwards with the wing tips like the G1 toy.
That'll make this interpretation of Strafe perfect for me in jet mode.
Those look so awesome. So, so, awesome.
