Nothing I have to have since I have the POTP versions so that's money saved

Just makes me wish I could find one of the third party upgrade kits for cheap.

One of those times Takara was like, "Sorry Hasbro, screw the shared design policy, we're redoing this our way."

Good for whoever wants this, I guess. I bought the POTP figures but eventually sold them because they just weren't right for my collection.

Re: Takara Tomy Generations Selects Volcanicus Revealed!

Well that is disappointing. Given Takara's track record I expected better.

Already having Volcanicus makes this probably a pass. Nice to have the "extras", but as others have said, it is really a glorified add-on kit.

At $270-$300(Cdn) it probably won't be high demand for a lot of collectors, especially with the SS86 Dinobots waiting in the wings.

Didn't expect to see the day that Hasbro/TT would take inspiration from PE upgrade kits.

Man, that's a nice tampo/paint on Grimlock's legs - beats the hell out the POTP stickers

And red-face Slag is cool, helps to breakup the monotony of faces - didn't one of the KO Slags do red-face first? lol

But yeah, I spent too much already beefing up the POTP dinos - my Grimlock got the PE forearms & hips and everything - why go backwards?

It's another "would have been a good idea two years ago", maybe

Meh. My PotP Dinobots are in my "for sale" bin as it is.
