    Buzz Light year would Be fine if he was a 3rd of the price as he is he's pointlessly expensive and doesn't even have the amusement value of Donald & Mikey. it's just a straight Transformable Buzz (like loads that have been made by other toy makers) and yet's it's like between 3 and 5 times the price.
    and half the size.. therefore 'pointless'.

    I'd not pay more than £25.00 for it and only for the sake of completeness and with great reluctance to buy it at all.

    Where as Proper (main) Disney Characters I'm happy to pay £35.00 for.

    --

    Unicron looks way better here than in the last picture the Orange is better, and the color balance is better - the head is still a little rubbish though.

    Overall if I can get him under £115.00 shipped and I have the money to spare then I'll consider him strongly.

    Optimus and Rodimus I like them both - I'll buy them if I can.

    I'd have liked to have got those clear Animatd legends too but I sort of forgot about them and I suppose there's not so many of them around now.

    Convoy seems OK - he's almost worth it for the Trailer (Phasing/Trailer space trailer / stealth mode if you like) - The main figure is not so appealing to me though - I'd have been more interested in a Metallic one.

    I'd probably rather spend the money on the smaller fake one. as I'm not really a great fan of MP Prime anyway he's just to huge to be of any use - (except perhaps to use with Alternators/Binaltechs).

    I bought Magnus and I was so Underwhelmed that when I did buy an Optimus I didn't even bother to open it. mainly as I didn't like the metal and his size.. but since the fake solves both of thos issues the fakes looks much more appealing to me.

    Damn, this picture has really sold me on Unicron. I love the new head mold. The smaller head makes everything more proportioned and makes his body look massive, as it should.

    Also glad the colours are a bit more muted than on the previous pic we saw.

    That remolded head on Unicron is awful..I preferred the Armada one much more.

    Sleep Convoy I'm not too into because I prefer Movie universe, but the idea is still pretty neat. I'd go for it if I was into the Masterpiece stuff.

    The Animated stuff is more appealing than the US stuff, surprisingly. I didn't like animated all that well either so WTF lol

    I really want to see more photos soon of just the head on this guy. While I see your comment regarding proportions, I'm not $120+ sold on the head yet.

    Regardless, I'm really thrilled to see TakaraTOMY doing something neato with the 2010 anniversary. These sorts of things would have been great for the 25th . . . .

    Finally we can get confirmation that rodimus is in crystal form... and what's with the points system.... lucky draw? Also, What happens to that hump where his minicon use to be in planet mode, is that part going to be remolded?

    This picture of Unicron is more orange than the one posted here. And I like the more orange pictured version of Unicron with the darker legs. But I guess that's just due to lighting...

    I'm still curious as to Unicron's minicon. Will he come with it? If so what colors? If not, will the indentation for him be remolded out of planet mode?

    Oh yeah, and he's a Ginormous PLANET OF DOOM! :lol  :p 

    But I do want to get him, he's a 50-50 buy atm for me. Colors look nice. :D 
    I dig the remolded head and he doesn't have to come with his Armada Minicon. :D

    My wallet just bit me in the ass, cause so far I have had everything pre-ordered except Unicron. Now I went and pre-ordered Unicron...

    2010 is NOT a year to catch up on G1, so much expensive new stuff...

    Also the much rumored next masterpiece, isn't going to help either for 2010. All I know is that I'm not a completist and that it somewhat alleviates the burden, though not by much. My Macross fascination doesnt really help either......
