    I wish BBTS wouldn't keep pushing my orders back a month. I keep seeing deals like this and thinking I can't afford them as any day I could have a bunch of preorders cone in and chew up my savings

    Not a terrible set, I quite like the designs, the main problem is how small they are, particularly Snarl, Slag and Swoop being based on AOE Deluxes. It wouldn't be right for the Dinobots to be some of the smallest Autobots on the shelf.

    Given how Hasbro completely sidestepped all the animal combiners (Predaking, Piranacon and Abominus), I have a hunch that there'll be an 'animal' themed second round of the Combiner Wars at some point, and it's then that we'll get some proper Classics Dinobots.

    I wouldn't object to a large-scale Dinobot combiner similar to CW Devastator, myself.

    Took a look - postage to Tas was going to be $42.. What the actual hell. Meanwhile Zing wants $9 for postage which seems much more reasonable.

    Come to think of it, I don't think we've gotten proper Neo-G1 Classics (or CHUG) versions of Dinobots Slag, Sludge, Snarl, etc. Unless of course you count the Platinum Ed 5-Pack, but to me, they are just retools of AoE figures. Homages to the G1 characters at best.
