I just like that somebody at Hasbro seems to love Erector enough to homage him in a voyager-class figure.

It's political erectness gone mad, I say!
Roll on more Micromaster homages!

There's been a few of recent. Like the Mudflap redeco, and the Inferno one isn't bad..... though *nothing* can get me to buy the Red Alert mold again. I'd sell the 2 I have but they're worth nothing.

And here I thought you'd be happy that Hasbro had released a giant Erector.
Shockprowl, you may want to sit down. And get some tissues handy.

I don't think I'm as innately ill-disposed to the Armada Red Alert mold as some folk - in fact it is one of the few Armada molds I still have any affection for - but I certainly don't feel it is a good enough mold to be trotted out again.
No real interest in Erector, although it is good to see that the Hub can still find innuendo in the appropriate places.....

*where's that bloody kleenex...*
Inferno, doesn't do much for me. Energon Inferno fits in perfectly with Classics. The RedAlert mold is ok, Big Prowl I continue to enjoy, but it aint the best mold ever.
Erector, just call him GRAPLE and be done with it!

That's quite a nice set. It's a shame the original isn't in there, but I suppose it wouldn't really be his legacy if he was included, it would just be a set of different Bumblebees.

I know, it's shocking that Action Master Bumblebee isn't in there.

Maybe Takara will bless us with an Encore three-pack of original, Pretender and Action Master Bumblebees!

Hey dont forget Gobot Bumblebee. After all we know how much takara and Hasbro love to reuse those toys.

Goldbug would have to be included, too. And the chromed G2 version.

I only just noticed that the red patterns on the movie toy and tat packages are actually the Cybertronian etched designs seen on the Allspark.

WAS: Real Gear Toys
Does anybody have any Real Gear Toys and how easy are they to find? Don't look like the greatest TF figures in the world but a nice novelty nonetheless.
Can pick up 50-75% of it fairly cheaply on eBay but there seems to be a few of them that are pretty rare. I don't want to start the collection if the chances of me finishing it are slim.

I had all of them I think but I believe they went in the big box that went to the Toy Fu team a couple of months back. Nick/Andy B, any left?

Memory says those down the fag end of the line were harder to get hold of But I believe it was one of those lines where even if they're rare, they're cheap as no-one really cares that much. |

Its the first I'd heard of them. Even though I wasnt collecting I always thought I was up on the toy releases, there's a couple of shops in Glasgow that were good for killing a couple of hours in just wandering round the displays, but I only spotted these when they appeared on the eBay suggested items when I was buying the Disk Blaster Frenzy that transforms into a stereo. I don't think that figure is even part of the line.

The Frenzy isn't, no.
Some of those ones were cool and interesting, some aren't. The binoculars guy is nice.

I think thats Longview, resembles the top of Wall-E's head? There's a couple of game controllers and a portable handheld console that look OK. There's a couple of PDAs and a flip phone which are naff, to put it politely.
