    $88 minus whatever they get to during the toy sale makes it not a bad set, Prime and Longrack are very nice figures, while Blurr and Buzzsaw aren't really half bad (although Buzzsaw is a horrible colour), with Runamuck the only real disappointment in the lot.

    Seriously Longrack is one of the best homage figures ever released.

    Now if only there was a true Cybertron 5 pack, rather than an Armada repaint 5 pack.

    Ugh. Crap toys. No doubt repackaged b/c they couldn't sell.

    Saw them today at Carindale BigW, and the colours look a little paler, especially Optimus, who seems to be getting a bit too pinkish these days... something we should know Mr Prime?

    Probably the light in the store, as I'm sure they released this set in another market ages ago, and just repacked these for here/universe didn't they? I don't see this as being another production run.

    No, it was always a universe set, BTW they don't literally repack toys when they release them in new packaging, they do another run.

    When/if it's on special and we can get it a bit cheaper I'd be in if I can take Longrack. (Maybe Blurr... but I think I already have that one.)

    I've seen the leader OP and Crumplezone 2-pack and was a bit surprised by the size of the box. I presume the box dimesion of this 5-pack would be, if not almost, the same size as the former.

    could be a shelf-warmer if they won't make it affordable....
