Well first off im not writing this to start a whole Drama or anything of the sorts but i wanted to warn those people who havent went and payed the money for this thing yet that its far from the expectations in alot of ways #1 i wasnt a big fan of the movie stuff but i was open to getting the Raven and the Hummer and i was gonna wait till the bread was right but i got hyped hearing the storys of people Getting there ROC toys so i went against my gut feeling and spent money i should have just used for better things or even better joes
well when i bought the thing and it was in the box it was pretty cool and seemed worth the buck on the ride back home but when i got home and opend up the box and put this thing together the scale was way off compared to my other jets (it looks like a Transformer size jet) and that sucked big time for me cus when i display it next to the other stuff it looks like a mini me raven lol now second is the figure i dont know if it was just mines but his legs are made like crap and he dont stand very good his legs seem to jerk foward and he dosent come with any stand and no weapons for the price they could have stepped that up a lil bit i think now to top it off i go to TRU and see the Raven and it says 24.99 under it so i was like ok seems fair i get to the register the lady tells me 39.99 i was suprised and was almost ready to leave the bird behind but i took it anyway now i kinda wish i diddnt dont get me wrong its nice looking but the scale was the major factor that made me feel this way so just keep that in mind if ya go grab one off the shelfs im relieved that i saw all the ROC joes and the only other thing they had that i wanted was thunder with his vehicle they did not have Hummer but from what i saw today i think the rest im gonna pass on

I saw it too and decided $40 was too much. TRU (the only store here with ROC product on the shelf) also had the smaller scale stuff(ie, the Mole Pod scale) were $25! Pass.....

Never believe the hype. Go with your gut feeling.

did the same thing as you, but i talked myself out of the hype when seeing everything in my face. i really didnt expect the raven to be so small, or the hummer.
i will still nab a hummer one day. just not for that price, if they never go lower then i wont get one.. not worth it. i dont think any of this stuff is worth it honestly. 7.99 for pit commado an paraviper yeah definitely. but the rest nah. i'll wait for the old joes to return.. |

I am glad I turned in my 'Completist Badge' after Modern Era Wave 11. The price is what stopped me from getting the Night Raven, though I did get the Steel Crusher but damn that $24.99 hurt. I like the new ROC line, mostly getting figures I like and that's it. Steel Crusher is the one and only vehicle I'm getting.
