Are they going to release this as a set or just individually ? Or which way would be cheaper?

you know I am think the same thing.
Im hoping that they will sell these as a set down the road. the same with superion. or am I just fooling myself?

I'd love a giftset with brilliant box art from MMC, but that is not enough for me to risk the chance of not getting them. It's just a different case to as when MakeToys was releasing G2 Yellow Giant ahead of Green Giant - everyone knew a Green repaint had to be on its way, and the box art was just the bonus.

Also, demand for third-party not-Predakings may be further diluted from UT's release, so this may affect MMC's decision on releasing a second run.

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!
