TFW2005 boards member char_leigh has gotten a hold of the much-discussed Combiner Wars Victorion, the female fan-built combiner, and has been gracious enough to supply us with a few shots of her.
These photos show off the Torchbearers’ individual robot/vehicle modes, as well as her combined robot form and giant sword weapon. Also shown are images of the included poster, collector card, and instructions.
Check out the pics after the break!
GAUGE
I want to see a Proper review already char_leigh
Haven't we all waited long enough? She's out now officially and yet still no proper Review of Victorion or the team that comprises her.

It's not the government; it's just a higher inflation and idiot stores pushing the prices. We get paid proportionally, so TFs from abroad are actually cheaper for us.
Still, I wish all the Victorions on Ebay weren't around the $150 mark. I'll wait to see the TFS and BBTS prices.

TWO HUNDRED?!
Why on Earth does the government of Australia continue to punish you guys and gals just for living there??
Lord Dcast
Yeah, Deluxes in Australia are $25 and Voyagers are $50, so that price range even after currency conversion is totally fine for me. In fact, usually those sets are $200 here just drive up the profit. Either way, I can get ahead.
Still, if a good ebay seller gets one then I'll be more inclined for a cheaper price.

$100.00 on TFSource, no.
$130.00, hell no.
$160.00, hahahahaha no.
I'll wait for the inevitable Amazon sale, much like the previous boxsets have received as of late. For a set I'm not all that hyped up about, I'm not going to bust my ass paying ridiculous amounts of money for a ridiculous set.

Or people have found it in Target stores as being discussed in the other thread.
Lord Dcast
It's beyond strange…its suspicious.

I just find it odd that the top retailers (BBTS, TFsource, TCP) don't even have pre orders. And yet people still have gotten ahold of MULTIPLE sets somehow. It just seems strange to me I guess.
Lord Dcast
I wouldn't buy it for that expensive price. $100 on TFSource, yes. $130, I guess. $160, maybe. Anything higher, NO!
As for where they're from, I've got no clue.

So. Am I the only one wondering how people are getting Victorion? A dealer on facebook just got quite a few today (sadly ran out before I could get one) and now I see them popping up on ebay. And this is supposed to be a late summer release??

Can I ask for a photo of Pyra next to one of her mold bros. if it's not too much trouble?
Lord Dcast
All these people saying they don't want it…oh well, more for me.

Is it an online exclusive? I thought this was going to be wide retail release. I'll have to go back and look at the pictures from SDCC to see if the tags designated this.
Hoffman
Not sure, my point is just that they have pre-order embargos that run up very close to actual release.

i though victorion is only online store exclusive? did that changed?
Hoffman
Hasbro has been very stingy with their solicits lately. Not just Transformers, in some cases Marvel Legends are hitting big box stores before online retailers are even allowed to list pre-orders.

poor strongarm and strika…
Lord Dcast
I suppose you're not the fan of Strongarm then?
If so, YOU ARE UNDER ARSET!

The sword is the only redeeming part of this set for me.
Not a fan of chest pieces like blackjack and groove to be honest. Hasbro did great with powerglide as a sort of target master weapon gimmick.
The colors could have been better. Hopefully she gets a better iteration in 5-10 years and not being just repaints.
