Wowzers!!! That's awesome! I was just wondering what I could drop $170 on to make my $16 poorly made FOC Optimus more expensive than a full-sized MP.
Gonna have to order two of those!

Can't imagine where that price is coming from..

This all seems like they are the new Xovergen. Guys who want to get into the 3rd party business, but who don't have the engineering skills or cost effective manufacturing, and we end up with real middling junk that costs 2-3 times what it should for what it is.

Wow, this is more expensive than the Grand Patriot when that came out. At least you're not forced to buy both redeco as a bundle like the Patriot was.

170? Why don't I just buy a cybertron red alert and modify myself? which should cause no more than 40.

now now now....xovergen's trailerforce master armor is actually pretty good and priced nicely for a figure of such size; got mine for $120

I saw a detailed review of that when it came out and ya, it's not bad. Definitely a step up from the Grand Patriot.

I saw it this weekend at my friend's house. Not bad. But I would never pay more than $80 for it.
