    I have them in hand thanks to Alphie's sighting, and they are definitely deluxe sized. Not too bad looking for play value, but kinda cheapish on the collectible end. Overall though, I recommend them for that price and the homage factor.

    EDIT: Prime is a POS and Megs is actually pretty good. Prime is of floppy construction and suffers greatly from the punching gimmick. Megs seems pretty solid in both modes and is worth getting. Prime... not so much.

    They ain't bad, just a bit gimmick-hampered and short-cutted compared to the rest of the Classics Deluxes/Voyagers

    they voyagers cab mode is nice! I guess you want a G1ish cab mode...seem's they can not do that AND make a decent robot out of it.

    Got it today at my TRU in Burlington, New Jersey!

    They really do look "ok". Prime looks really cheap though IMHO :(  Megs looks much better. They Voyager Prime PWNS this Prime, however it is a good representation in bot mode for a G1 prime bot mode.

    I was excited when I found this today and picked it up...until I opened it. What a piece of garbage. Megatron is the best part of the set (ok I haven't watched the DVD yet so maybe that is the best part) and mine doesn't transform very well.
