Got this email today and I ordered Rodimus and Arcee. Couldn't resist the nostalgia.

*Also pictured are Blackcat (the green Ravage) and Toaster (the purple Blaster boombox). I'm guessing the club considers them accessories and why they aren't listed as part of the 5 pack even thought they are part of the set. - pluv

$190 + shipping to go 'all-in', just around $27/fig before shipping.

I just wish we could get Resolute Scarlets for $27ea. or less than $10, maybe even $4.99 (hey, I'm wishing here...)

but that box!

That box set is waaayyy too expensive. I wouldn't minded picking up the Megatron and Cobra Commander, but the price wouldn't he high.

Considering most people are getting it for everything except those two, you're better off snagging them off ebay later.

It is a bit of sticker shock for that boxed set (I wouldn't buy it), but broken down it's not that bad.

$25 Scarlett Ninja Force
$25 Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones
$25 Cobra Commander
$20 Hologram Megatron
$15 Ratbat
$10 Toaster
$10 Blackcat

True, but these days most of the club's stuff is over my budget. Biggles-Jones, IMO, should have been the star if this set, but the figure us terrible.

The inclusion of Ratbat, green Ravage, and purple Blaster is even stranger. It is like they didn't think the set would sell with mostly Joe figures. If all three figures were at the level of design as Scarlett, they would not have to rely on TF fans to sell this.

Yeah, the Scarlett is the only one that really interests me, but there's no way I'm going to pay that price.

Rodimus and Arcee look killer, I kinda dig the green Ravage, Scarlett is fairly decent (I would've used the head sculpt from the Resolute 7 pack, but hey, I wasn't on the design team), Biggles-Jones looks alright, and the In-Joke about Toaster is somewhat funny... but the rest is "Meh."

Shouldn't CC be in a BLACK suit with some BLUE high lights instead of the other way around? :-/ Heck, even the web gear and epaulettes should be white with touch ups of gold and red if the club was going to go for some accuracy. The sheath already is white, so either they had access to that color of plastic molding or paint - what's a little extra effort cost? Why not match what's on the cover?

Well Ratbat was in the comic they are referencing. Megatron is in it too.

The others are just very obscure.
