    Kind of dissapointing.
    You are right, I stand corrected. Maybe I am remembering something that was said or saw when they were first announced which described them as intended MP scale figures taller than Voyager Prime, similar to MP Grimlock's scale.

    Anyways, that kills it for me. I am happy enough with my Henkei Ironhide & Ratchet to get this. If they were MP scale, I would have gotten them.

    Based on those IGear pictures, it's only about a head taller than G1 Prime.

    At $110+shipping I would have expected the toy to be at least Binaltech size. At this point it seems like a tall deluxe like Sunstreaker.

    Sorry, scale and price breaks it. It looks like an awesomely designed toy but I already have a Classics Ironhide. They should have aimed for the MP scale where that 'gap' needs to be covered not gone for a scale where an official toy already fulfils it.

    Yeah this toy is vastly superior to the Universe/Henkei toy but the price is too much for a substitude of a character I already have and a toy I am happy with.

    Price kills it for me. Almost the same prices as their MP Coneheads. Looks great, but as Kup said, too much for a figure that only substitutes a figure that already fits well with the Classics figures. MP size would have been better to aim for if they were going to do it.

    Even with free shipping, it's WAY over priced.

    My dreams are crushed over this. I missed out on the classics version of these and wanted these as placeholders, and they look like fantastic renditions, but I just can't justify the price.


    That said I'll probably break in a couple of months and order it!

    not WAY..... with all those accesories and stuff i could handle $200US shipped internationally to me, i mean thats alot of gear they have. I figure getting a set of Universe/Henkei ironhide/ratchet shipped to me would fetch $150 and id put all those acc at $50(if multi compatable with the rest of my CHUG's) so i was anticipating something like $85each plus shipping....

    Yeah I also don't think its way overpriced, considering the cost of things like Defender, PE Rumble and Frenzy and the FP upgrades I think this isn't so bad. At least not when you consider the cost of the various Arcee toys, and the Steam Train and other alternate universe Prime's

    The amount of accessories also makes it appear more appealing as a stand alone toy than the similarly sized and priced Exgraver toy.

    It is on the higher end of town, but as a big Ratchet fan I'm tempted, but I'd like to see a painted pic first.

    We also know how much Impactor will likely cost now.
