Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

yowsers, what is it about that set???

[SuspectimusPrime]

An incredibly sweet Classicsverse Pretender Grimlock made from FOC Grimlock.



Also from the same customiser, Cheetimus, and because Hasbro won't give this to us, Generations Flywheels from Generations Blitzwing.

wow they both look great.

I've seen those pics before and do think they are great. The Pretender is really thinking outside the square and quite successful. Flywheels colours always looks great on Blitzwing. How many kitbashers need to do it before Hasbro realise that's how the toy should look.

You know that if we don't see it in next year's BotCon set, it means there is a good chance that Hasbro has it on their upcoming agenda (or were planning to do it during 2014).
FunPub would need to use the mould within the next year if they were told by Hasbro "recently" they had no plans to do it... or else FunPub might be told next year that it is now on Hasbro's schedule (after their focus of the Movie line is finished and Hasbro can release more non-Movie product).

The Doubledealer redeco was apparently one FunPub wanted to do but were told that Hasbro were already doing it, so it is a mould they had/have in their sights (and they would be aware of the fan interest in a Flywheels redeco). Since it didn't show up in next year's Subscription Set, and we already know the 2014 Membership figures, it only leaves them with the 2014 BotCon toys before they have to go back to Hasbro with their 2015 toy ideas.

I wonder... if FunPub did end up doing this Flywheels redeco, would they redeco the Springer/Sandstorm mould into Battletrap to make them a matching pair (which would help sell Battletrap, who might not look as good as Flywheels).

Hey all. Just seeking a bit of advice on this Superion.
Thoughts?

Bit keen on getting a complete version rather than picking one up bit by bit, especially given how long its taken my to complete Abominus (i.e. I still haven't).

It's not complete, each of teh individual characters have their own gun which isn't in those pictures, it does look like there are a fair few yellowing parts, so his statement that joints are generally good might be a little bit of an overstatement as well.

I have my original so I have no idea if thats a good deal for todays prices. It's at my parents house in Victoria so I don't have it on hand but I recall the cobined shoulder joints being a little loose. Mine also definitely has some yellowing.

i wouldn't pay that much for that 1. you can get better examples that are complete for less.

See that's why I love this place!

I thought anything less than than about AUD$110 would probably be one of the KO giftset versions??

Appreciate the advice.
