I do hope so. I regret passing on that back in the day.

Yeah, but it'll be mental money again. If this is this year's Trypticon it'll be £140 at least, which makes it so hard to justify.

If I didn't have these five molds as these five characters already, I think I would prefer these.

I like it, because I think it works well with the more muted palettes. Blurr's the standout for me, though. |

Och, up yours Hasbro. That's going to cost me a fortune.

Och, up yours Hasbro. That's going to cost me a fortune. Given the price of their 3 deluxe sets at like £65 or so, I'm betting this will be something nuts like £150-£200? I'm sure it will be meeting the bargain bin soon enough! |

I don't know about over there, but here Platinum releases through Target aren't quite as insanely stupidly expensive as TRU.
But that said, I'd be pleasantly surprised were this under $200usd, and shocked if it were lower than $150.

So we have another opportunity for Ralph to eat his hat. Andy Unlikely. I never see these Platinum sets at UK retail so I will never see this. I never saw a CW Magnus in a shop. So no hat eating opportunities. That set does look nice though. And it has the poster! -Ralph |

We'll just have to drag you to A1 Toys at some point then, Doc. ;-)
And, that's a fantastic set. Since I already have a Magnus, Arcee and a Cloud Rodimus (yes I know, shut up), and since the Takara Headmaster Blurr looks rather lovely, I think I'll be passing on that. Still, a lovely set, though, with some very nice decos.

Same here. It's a beautiful looking set of movie figures but the only one I'd want is Kup. All told the platinum line is doing a good job of covering all the movie bases. I remember making a list a while ago of the main movie characters and who was getting a run out as a figure this year. I think at the time Kup was the only one missing.

Found this picture while looking for comparisons between Takara and Hasbro Blurr. I think every character in this picture, apart from Unicron, has been part of a Platinum release or Titans Return announcement recently. Coincidence with it being a movie get together or biggest hint yet that the Armada Unicron rerelease is happening?  |

With seibertron's watermark on it, it seems more like something awesome a fan put together.
Completely and beyond awesome, though!

Simply because I don't have that Rodimus mold, if it was thirty quid for the pack I'd get it. As it is, it'll be a hundred quid or something daft, so I'll probably pass.
That said though, just look at how reduced the AoE two-packs ended up getting in TRU and Tesco. We can but hope... Although they didn't also come with the Platinum-obligatory 200% mark-up...

That Rodimus mold does look like fun. I've got the Galvatron already so I'll wait for it to be reduced as well.

My reaction to Platinum sets usually goes as follows: that looks fab > that will have a ridiculously high price point > never mind. -Ralph |
