So your saying that not a lot of ppl would want mmcs due to uts release?
I have to wonder about that sincw mmcs is a lot better looking IMHO.
So in essence I shouldnt wait for a box set and juat get these as they come out then.
Humm that will be hard on my wallet. Haha.

Just referring to the rate of diffusion. If there was only one product released to market, the only choices for consumers would be to buy now (early adopters), or wait for more information and buy later (late majority and beyond). i.e. The original market reaction to Steel Core was mixed, but after the reviews came out, enough fans jumped on board to push prices to $250-300 on evilBay

In regards to third party not-Devastators, how many fans are out there that can afford both TFC's and Maketoys's releases? Whilst the better looking product is debatable, a person that's pretty set on obtaining one mould will have to make a choice between (at least) 4 options:
1. Buying product A now
2. Buying product A later
3. Buying product B now
4. Buying product B later

NB: Just my limited understanding of first year marketing, but feel free to debate!

More comparisons between MMC and UT Predakings from TFW. Classics Prime and Nemesis Prime are being used as the control:

So when are they being released and how much will they be? Where do you get this stuff from?

Best place to find them would be online vendors (usually overseas).
robotkingdom.com, tfsource.com and bigbadtoystore.com are the first ones that come to mind. Be warned these collector's grade items will be more expensive than you're used to.

The one on the left, by Mastermind Creations, is available on BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/s...rch=mastermind). Just realised that they have raised the prices on both Talon and Bovis - both increased by $15ea to their full RRP's. As there are two competing companies producing the same character, both had been making price cuts for early pre-order-ers. If you keep an eye on this thread or Seibertron/TFormers, you might find the pre-orders for the next 3 at a special discounted rate too.

With SO many other bots to purchase over the coming months, I took a look at my budget over the aforementioned period & sadly came to the conclusion that I just had to drop a preorder (or 2)...
With great reluctance it had to be the 1st 2 Feral Rex limbs , I REALLY want this beast but with yet another 2ft tall transforming robot figure on the horizon? - Something had to give.

I'll be following MMC's progress with these guys closely though as good grief are they shaping up to be utterly amazing!?!

I'll install a sneeze guard over mine and then you can drool all you like

But in all seriousness this is becoming a bit of an issue. there is simply TOO MANY TF related products on the horizon. I'm in the same boat as you Hursty but my cuts are happening in different areas. Weirdwolf will be my last FP Headmater purchase which is a real shame and I have had to hold back from the ToyWorld not-Throttlebots much to my disappointment.

It doesnt help that TT are ramping up MP production either.

1st world problems huh?

1st World problems indeed , it is certainly becoming a problem in that we're sort of now spoiled for choice; Quadruple U (Weirdwolf) is my last too, that is until they put up preorders for Skullcruncher & Mindwipe but yeah - Thankfully there is next to nothing 'Mainline aka Prime/Beast Hunters" that is really interesting me at all, as I've lost all interest in their Dragonformers sadly.

Meh, not so sure about the size of them to me. Yeah sure, it justifies price a little more but they're so BIIIG!!!!

He's a bit thick in the ankles/feet too, but still pretty impressive.
