Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Reminds buyers that the vehicles must be bought first, since the kit does not include them.
Says the Bruticus combiner fits a lot more tightly than the Devastator kit.
Found the vehicle-mode hinges stiff and saw stress marks on one part, but says the combined Bruticus has no loose limbs, unlike their Devastator.
A knee hinge connecting the legs broke, which they say has happened several times, and replacement parts took weeks.
