iGear got it right again with their 3rd consecutive Mini-Warrior line mold scaled correctly to fit in with your Classics collection standing in at a proper 4.5" in robot mode. Cogz (or Gears) is about a perfect specimen as we're probably ever going to see. And with that, this guy is tops on my list right now for must have mini-bots. Though I did see the other day that iGear has announced plans to do Bumblebee AND Cliffjumper. Both have different head sculpts as well as molds. Can't wait for that!

did they decide to make a repaint for Swerve yet?

Yes. They redone him as Veer (G1 Swerve) ^^^ He's available for pre-order now as a matter of fact!

Just bought this guy over at EdBombers store! He has a sale going on right now. Igear Cogz (Gears) for only $39.99! Same price for Duneraker (Beachcomber)! Better hurry though!

Mech Ideas version of TopSpin and Twintwist are nice figures, I know, I have them in my collection!

As for Cogz, some point I might get him, there's a few I want to get but at the mo, I got a few figures on order/coming, so he'll have to wait for another day!

Yeah, I do too. I think I got them for around the same price EdBomber's offering them for now through Captured Prey a few months back. WELL WORTH the money. You won't find a better 3rd party bang for your buck.

As for Cogz/Duneraker....all the major stores (BBTS/TfSource, exc..) were trying to sell him for $54.99 and Cogz ended up selling out. I flat out refused to pay that much for a figure the size of Classics Bumblebee. I guess I felt like Igear was trying to price gouge the fans, considering they sold Hench (Brawn) who was the same size for $34.99 a while back...well that's what I paid for him at TfSource. Anyways, when I seen that Facebook post from EB that he was having a sale, I clicked over and seen Cogz was sold out and was disappointed. But Ed came on there (FB) and said some folks had him tied up in the shopping cart and he just cleared a few out. So I jumped on that quick. They're a good value around the $40 price point, especially an iconic character like Gears who's never had a decent update.
