Definitely prefer it to be under $20 since I'd have to pay shipping as well.

WTF?!?!? All I see is a redX at work. I'd ____ a kitten if they don't finish off the line, then we'll need a 4th party company to fill in the gap.
Here's the link to the pic, does this work?

I think this one is Martha Dumptruck.
My one complaint about these new Constructicons is that, well, they look like cheap Hasbro toys from a production perspective. I guess we shouldn't expect more than that for various reasons, but at $100 it would be nice if they looked like they would run more than $15-20 if it was mass produced and sold at Wal-Mart.
I guess it's the type of plastic being used.
Also, FYI, the forthcoming IGear figures are up for pre-order from BBTS

I'll do my best, and I could always ship him loose. Just sayin'. I'll keep you posted.
Negative ghostrider, circle gets a square at work.

Do you have the Exgraver Sam? I will say as a figure he's nice and the plastic is in some ways better than the DOTM toys. Sure the paint could be a bit cleaner but even as a paint Nazi I think it's pretty decent. I will say he doesn't feel fragile, and again once I saw him transformed as Devastator's right arm, I was sold. In person he is very impressive. Is he worth the $97 I spent on him? No. But a badass Devastator is worth a lot to me. TFClub is no FansProject but I am pleased with my purchase, this was a make or break for me and the rest of this line.
Yep, but most of the people making the claims are the usual anti-3rd party lot or people who can't afford it trying to rain on the parade of those that can.
If you ever lose the will to live check out the thread at TWF and there's pages & pages & pages & pages of comments about the possibility of the last 2 not being made, the scale and the pricing which at this stage in the game is beyond tedious.
The only "evidence" so far is the lack of proto pictures of Bonecrusher & Mixmaster.
I admit that it's slightly concerning especially as TFC have already started showing future projects but I think they've just been focusing on getting the first ones out and we'll see the last 2 once they're at a stage where protos have been completed.
If not the 3rd party scene has exploded so much recently that somebody else will inevitably pick up the slack and make the other 2 so I don't think there's anything to worry about.
Thanks for the info. I figured it was because we just haven't seen pics, but Exgraver seems to be so popular that it seems like the profits from him alone would be nudging TFClub along the way. But who knows?
Based on your description and the descriptions I've read at TFW, the quality seems good enough, but as I was posting about on a Kubrick forum just a couple hours ago--it is sometimes difficult to justify the cost for something, even if it's very cool and rare, if it just doesn't feel worth it. That Devastator better be ____ing amazing.
I have him in my "Pile" at BBTS, waiting for HT Spidey to arrive. And I'm pulling the old trick (or at least, my old trick) where I remove him from my order, then immediately re-order him so that I refresh the 2-week countdown to not being able to trade him in for store credit if I decide not to keep him.

Oh, I hear you on the Kubrick/price/QA front. Since this is (allegedly) one of the weaker figures and the fact that the arm mode is so impressive I'd say we have a lot to look forward to. The next release looks awesome.
If I can just stay off-topic for one post, I'm not bugged with Kubrick prices in general, but the fact that they are reasonably expensive to begin with and then throw out pretty important and cool figures as blind-boxed 1/96 chases is just ____ing insane.

Without Luke's uncle and Hammerhead, this lot sells for about $80. And this was just released.

OT-____ Medicom, they're the reason I tapped out. That is all. And I loved Kubricks.
I collected SW Kubricks for a while and quit for cost reasons as once you get into the rare ones the prices get a bit mad....I made an exception for the carded Droids Boba Fett but had to draw the line after that

A Transformers painting I did for a friend...it was 8' x 4' and every bit the pain in the butt to work on you could imagine.

Awesome! Collector-case worthy scene there.

Thanks! He has most all of the Gen ones on display under and around the painting. It was much easier for him to display than it was for me to work on in a one bedroom apartment.
Wow, I love it! Great work. Much much much much much better than that modern comic stuff.
I would seriously put that in my living room, and in general, I'm ashamed of my geekness and hide my stuff in the back of the house

Although you can't see in the picture as an added bonus I painted a cartoon styled version of him behind the wheel of Prowl in the classic power plant worker uniform.
