TFCToy Product Images: TFC EX-002 Rollars and TFC 005 Guns

I'm sorry, the first rollar's quality was crap. It had loose joints and cheap feeling plastic. You couldn't pose it because it would collapse.

It's really put me off future TFC produts. That gun had better be a step up in quality.

The pictures look great, but it's too bad that based on others comments the original Rollar release had horribly loose joints. While I won't be buying it, I hope the company has resolved this issue.

True but loose joints is a bit of a low blow when you're paying for a limited production item at a premium price. It's not a $10 mass produced Hasbro/Takara figure you're buying so I can see the validity in criticism of that issue.

The TFC-005 Gear of War LED weapon set for OP looks cool. I'd like to get it but too many other things have priority over it on my to-buy list.

I really love the Alternity line so far so I'd like to get these ASAP while their prices aren't too high(Vibrant Red is crazy pricey right now, though).

Followed by:

MP-01 or MP-04 and MP-05
Armada or Micron Legend Tidal Wave
Energon Omega Sentinel
Armada or Micron Legend Megatron
Energon Galvatron
Galaxy Force or Cyberton Galvatron

These are the "big ones" for me right now. There are many others but these are likely going to be the most expensive and some may be harder to find complete and in good condition if not MISB.

The main reason I'm holding off is I'm working this year to save up to return to school and I've used up my summer's budget for Transformers. I don't want to overspend and dig into my school savings.

I also have non-Transformers figures that are taking up my budget considerations. I'd like to get the MP King Exkaiser and MP Dragon Kaiser figures(the latter is hard to find but it's so worth it to get both to create Great Exkaiser). I'd also like to get a few of the GaoGaiGar figures and its variations but they are also not easy to find and really expensive.

I'll just copy over my list from this thread.

I bought the DVD edition of the 20th Anniversary OP a while ago(it's on its way ), which I really dig. I'm thinking of getting the 20th Anniversary OP at some point rather than the MP versions of OP because aside from the short smokestacks and battle damage paint, it seems identical to MP-01/04. Also, it seems to be much cheaper than the MP figures.

shonenfan4 wrote:You should, because you can prob find one at half price of what MP Prime would've costs.

Right now, Battle Rollar is available.
In December, we will get a release of the LED gun, in black and in cartoon colors.
In December, we will also get a new release of Battle Rollar, in both black and cartoon colors, both of which will come packaged with their respective LEG gun kits, and both or which are attachable to ROTF Prime?

Here's how I see it.

At the end of this month, we're supposed to be getting the GOW 2 set, containing two guns, one with a blue LED embedded, and one with a smaller LED attachment. These two guns will fit Alternity Convoy, Henkei/Classics P/C, and ROTF Leader Prime with the included adapters and add-ons.

Battle Rollar is also available now in Henkei/Classics blue.

In December, they're releasing two new sets that included either a "ROTF Prime Blue" Rollar with the larger blue LED gun with special adapter to fit MP Prime/Convoy, or Rollar in Nemesis Black with new red LED gun, also with the adapters to fit MP Prime/Convoy. No word yet on the costs for those sets.
