Yeah too bad I have no where to put it

Put it in the garage (assuming you have one). And assuming you have a car, sell it or just park it on the street or in the drive or something.

Super7 Thundercats ULTIMATES Cats Lair has another teaser image released today! This time showing us a clear image of the head render! Stay tuned!

[JayC]

Super7's Brian Flynn sat down with We Want More ThunderCats to discuss the upcoming ThunderCats Ultimates 7" Scale Cat's Lair playset that has been teased and will be fully revealed in the coming weeks during SDCC. In the interview Flynn confirmed that the playset will be a little bigger than their MOTU Snake Mountain Playset but not to scale with their recent Thundetank. The Thundertank will not fit under the claw. It will have electronics lights and the cost will be $650 plus a $100 flat rate shipping fee. It will be offered on the Super7 website as well as other retail partners for folks outside the US. Like the Thundertank I would image places like our sponsors EntertainmentEarth and BigBadToyStore.com will offer it.

They will be offering it using the crowd funding Kickstarter like model where they will need a minimum number of pre-orders in order to move into production, and Flynn also mentioned stretch goals.

Brian gave a lot of details  at that interview so the only thing to make a decision to buy it, will be to see it at SDCC in pictures and videos... This the type of player that after the crowd funding ends, it will be 3 times its price after market and comic shops...

For Early Bird; they would be mad to think this whole campaign is 10 days. That said, based on the interview with "We Want More Thundercats" Brian thinks he has a really good idea of the Thundercats Ultimates audience re: numbers and behavior. We shall see.

God, that looks gorgeous.  Especially the paint on the head, which I hope is actually reflective of the final product. 

[Reno]

I don't personally collect ThunderCats even though they've always intrigued me. Regardless, I hope we see more things like this. I'd really like to see some generic 'non-licensed' playsets of this size (but hopefully far cheaper). Customizing one's own is doable but a lot of work and doesn't always end up costing less in the end that something mass produced could be.

[Roadpigmaster]

Looks fantastic... I like the Lion-O that will come if we get enough backers

This thing is 3 feet tall and 4-1/2 feet wide.  Im pretty sure its the largest playset Ive ever seen.  Not saying anything about cost just size.
