Generations Trypticon toy fully revealed

[GoktimusPrime]

It looks awesome. Unfortunately it will inevitably cost $350+ when it's released over here and I have better things to spend that money on. But if someone buys one for me I won't be upset.

Metroplex and Devastator were actually quite reasonably priced here. Metroplex ended up going really cheap at Target. Fortress Maximus was ridiculously expensive when it first came out in stores like Myer and it continues to shelfwarm there as well as TRU, but other stores like Big W released it at a much cheaper price and it managed to sell better there. PC's price was even cheaper than Big W's, although the toy did come out later from them (no surprise there). So there's a fair chance that Trypticon and other future Titan Class figures may come out here at decent prices.

I personally paid...
* Metroplex = approx. $175 (purchased from overseas incl. shipping)
* Fortress Maximus = $160
* Devastator = $198

I wouldn't even pay $300 for a Titan Class let alone $350!

======================
Edit: Just checked my records - I paid US$115 for Metroplex, so including shipping it was around AU$175

The reason I say that is because the prices have been creeping up over the years on these big releases. Metroplex was released over here for $120 when it first showed up at Target. That was AWESOME. But Devastator was significantly more expensive at $198, and then Fort Max when first released was $250. That's getting into the realms of no longer being justifiable, when the choice isn't one toy or several toys but one toy or a video games console. And I can see Trypticon being even more expensive barring some sort of economic miracle.

other than the stubby tail, he looks good. I honestly have no space for it so I might have to pass just like what I did for Fortress Max. I like to see how are the alt modes like.

At least this looks way better then the Hasbro Fort Max.

It is a really nicely detailed Trypticon. Hopefully he will be stable.

To be fair, Titans class Metroplex at $120 was the introductory price at Target. It reverted to $149.

It will be Fort Max pricing. If you want dirt cheap then buy PC but don't scream long wait. Those good old days you need to rely on a clearance sale if they decide to do it. I am glad I am not fussed about this guy buy I do admit he looks a lot more promising than Fort Max.

Do we have an indication of release beyond "this year"? He looks perfect. With the rumoured Dinobots from somewhere, full call of the primitives over here.

What did you hear and where did you hear it?

There was some kind of thing going around with the Trypticon reveal, not sure where from.

IIRC, it was also limited stock.

$160-200 would be fair range after-sales and low end of retail for Trypticon. Really depends on whether it is as hollow as Metroplex, and considering that none of the other Titan Class figs has been re-released at the retail level. Not valuing the top end of the range more than Devastator because between the two, Devastator will likely have more parts (assuming there isn't a huge difference in difficult when moulding big or small pieces of plastic) and require a lengthier assembly time.

Also don't mind if they separate the figure into 2/3/4 parts to save on carton form/void during shipping.
