    I picked up the sharkticon 3 pack for around $30 which was worth the price in my opinion.
    The mft legends size seem to sell for about the same price as hasbro legends size which is fair imo. For one, the engineering is at a higher level and the included accessories outweigh what hasbro includes (nothing) I'm guessing the mft reflector will be anywhere from $30-$40 depending on which seller you buy from.

    Dude, I already said I wasn't being realistic. Just don't have enough interest in them to spend over $20.

    I think I'm going to have to get both as there seems to be points about both I like.

    I need to know what hoops I have to jump through to get that Mini-camera and Flash part too though - they imply it's either a 1st run bonus or some sort of retailer incentive - but as usual it's not at all clear.

    That is why I've not ordered their Omega as I can't tell what is an what isn't included and where.

    Why would it? What bothers me is that they still have no wrist swivels.

    I didn’t know it was a difference to the original, but I do like it.

    And, it makes Refelctor and Soundwave seem like a cohesive unit, which they kinda should.

    I have to say there's a lot about pretty much every reflector out there that I don't care for. You'd think that, with three robots combining into what's basically a box, that they could find a way to do less partsforming. I mean the whole bottom of the camera comes off, along with the whole lens and flash. So basically the robots do combine into a box and then you add all the parts that make that box into a camera. But I guess if all the reflectors out there do it, it must be harder to engineer than I think - I certainly couldn't do better.

    Also reflector was a character (characters?) with basically no personality in the cartoon and I can't remember him showing up in the comic at all (he might've but if he did, I sure can't remember it). Combined with his goofy transformation and it's a recipe for a character that I've never felt the need to own. That said, I like mft's work and it looks like they've done a good job on this as well. If the price isn't too bad, I'll pick it up for my desk.

    I like the improvements they've made on the original Scouting Force, but I'm hoping that MFT will also make a 'Stealth' colour variant or a retool based on the Assault Force - I like the PE originals as a fun-size heavy weapons crew rather than as a Reflector homage, but wouldn't mind a larger and better quality version.

    This is based on a toy from years ago that's even smaller than today's legends class, so a little partsforming is understandable.

    Some one made some half decent Datsun bros that might be worth them Knocking Up.
