You know, after seeing the bruticus in person at comic con I was glad I passed. A friend of mine got it on impulse and he said the figure felt very light and flimsy. It really sucks too because the other new fall of cybertron figures, namely Shockwave, Starscream, Jazz, Grimlock, Blaster and Soundwave look pretty decent in person.

Its kinda hard to pass up on the combaticons though if you were to find all of them out in the wild at the same time though and you have the cash. Damn impulse buys, lol.

That's my problem with it. I want a gestalt that has tight limbs and is possible but doesn't look like a bunch of jumbled up figures.

Have you seen these in hand pics yet? These show some of his limited articulation and what I think just looks silly overall in comparison to older combiners like Predaking. But o guess its silly to expect that kind of quality these days, right?

What spiderman is that a repaint of? Or is it the first out of that mold? I really like it, but I don't need the Future Foundation colors.

I saw that review but much like movie reviews, I like to make my own opinion about it. I like Swindle and Vortex but the others seem kinda meh. I was all over the Revenge of the Fallen Bruticus and Superion until I got my hands on the Generations Devastator. It was a crappy piece and very flimsy. I sold it about three days after I picked it up on eBay. It was then that I realized the Bruticus and Superion were already released a few years prior and were very similar to how that Devastator was constructed. I passed on both and instead just bought all the G1 versions of them.

Completely understand that. I know its pricey as all hell, but once I invested in that TFC Hercules (thanks to Symbiote for starting the slippery slope and getting me the first one as a Bday gift) and finally combined it it's really difficult for me to go back to the flimsy things like FoC Bruticus. I've already decided I need to get the Superion from them now.

Oh well, for all I know one of the third parties will find a way to kit bash this Bruticus too like they did the Energon one?


Man, if there was a 3rd party doing dio's for MU I'd go broke.

Yeah yeah yeah......White Doom and Whatever Spiderman that is yay........how about show the other pack also.....

So many TRUs in my area are still full of the old First Class 2-packs as well. I keep visiting TRUs on their shipment days, but no luck. Anyone ever have any luck at Walmarts, Targets or anywhere else?

those 2 specifically are TRU exclusives

Sigh, are they sold out online already?

The spiderman/rhino pack is the same:

Marvel Universe Marvel's Greatest Battles Comic Action Figure 2-Pack - Spider-Man/Rhino - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

Yeah, I was at the site yesterday in the afternoon and nothing, suddenly I come to the site again today and everything is sold out!!!
I´m wondering if actually Hasbro and TRU have some kind of com plot of like zero availability on exclusives...:(

DAM THE MAN LOL, well at least we have the item numbers to look for them in the stores. going to call my toysrus in a few..

Ok so some clarification wanted!

In what comic and issue (FF I assume, but I do not read it..) does Johnny come back?

And is FF still good? So 570 to current?

They are not sold out, TRU adds items first then updates the stock later, keep checking. It's what happened with series 2 of the light up figs.

I believe he was revealed to be 'alive' in FF600

Thank wolverine, I forgot that. But generally speaking, has anyone else had any luck buying ANYTHING at Walmarts, Targets or anywhere else?

I was stalking TRU to, then all of a sudden I check today and they are up and gone already, wtf!!!! I hope they just haven't added stock yet because my TRU is full of old comic packs and will never get these!!

Yeah it was 600 where you find out he's alive, but you really need to read 570-588 then ff 1-12 and then 600-605 to understand everything.

Sweet! Thanks for that. Gonna check the MDUS library for those tonight.

It really is an awesome story arc, there are a ton of mark out moments just in the last few issues alone.

So, were these available at the online store at some point or still nothing? There is a theory that they were not in stock at all even if the page shows them.

B.T.W still looking to get one.

I'll wait for LM / Peteparker / Ash / Fancypants to buy a case of these and sell them to us on their BSTs, LOL.
I didn't think I'd warm up to more repacks but I am digging those decos for Spidey & Doom. The comics are a great read, BTW.

FYI, Target has Future Foundation 3 packs on clearance for $6.88. Already have it, but couldn't not buy one at that price!

I'm assuming that's in store only, right? I'm trying to figure out which 3-pack you're talking about too. I'm not sure if I've ever seen this one before. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of it, would you?
