Two More Wreckers.

Teamwork for their (Hasbro's) lose. :/ I see no reason why those toys couldn't have been done in more G1-like colours. It's not as if they're realistic Earth-based vehicles. To be honest the colours don't bother me that much, but they don't do anything for me either. And I would definitely prefer them in G1 colours.

Seems we are getting Of topic, but Hasbro's Wrecker repaints colour choices might have been easier to accept if they had managed to get the colours right the first time using the mold with Bruticus, but now we have Bruticus in non G1, no game accurate colours, and then a retool as the wreckers also in non G1 colours. In the meantime those who want game accurate colours have to get the expensive SDCC toy.

Two strikes Hasbro.....

Except the SDCC colours weren't all accurate anyway. You need the retail Onslaught for that! :D

No matter, the poor execution of FOC Bruticus has opened the way for a 3rd party to come up with an upgrade kit. Wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro's Onslaught is replaced with a 3P Voyager sized game accurate Onslaught.

What a good idea. Then it will actually look good. Hasbro needs to get their act together. Im almost going to be a full time 3p collector.

At first I didn't think he was going to be popular (not geewun enough )and widespread enough for a 3rd party to bother, however now that there are going to be 4 versions of the toy out there. I can see the possibility of a 3rd party taking advantage of fan dissatisfaction with the mold. Certainly there will be at least two repaint/retool options if they do.

My Hasbro total this year is around $135...my third party bill is just over $850. Shows what fans are willing to pay for stuff they need for their collection.

You know, I preordered G2 Bruticus from BBTS as soon as I saw that post. I have store credit there from one of my previous purchases breaking almost as soon as I took it out of the box, so all I have to pay for is postage. But I will keep him MISB until a 3rd party does a decent upgrade for him. If not I'll sell it for a $$profit$$.

WIN WIN!!!:D
