    I was just saying of the Long haul thread that Studio series has been an ideal line mostly because of many figures that everyone has been wanting. Just the question is how long is studio series going to last for?

    It’ll go on as long as the money keeps running in. Maybe once Hasbro’s given all characters toys and finished milking SS01 to death will they finally end SS.

    I'm hopeful that the Long Haul is real, but if it isn't well at least I have the still great ROTF version (even though I don't like the clear swords)

    I think it will be Hasbro translating the success of their Marvel legends line in the realm of Transformers. This is a smart way to deal with the plethora of characters transformers has and Hasbro already owns the brand so more of the profit stays with them. "Studio series" the name is not limited to on-screen characters and has already incorporated a concept Thundercracker and two generic decepticon drones. I imagine they will extend the Studio series name to other iterations of the Transformers such as the 1987 movie, or Transformers Prime: Predacons rising to name the ones I am familiar with. No different than marvel legends that gives you the movie line, the comic line and variants. So Studio series is here to stay for better or worse (they might get rid of the numbering system if anything does get cut IMHO).

    It was discovered several months ago, but for some reason the word refuses to spread. I don't wanna spam it every time I see a pic of his mistransformed biceps, but at this point I almost wanna make a PSA thread so everyone can know immediately instead of one person every month...

    To each their own, I guess. I personally prefer the “official” arm configuration, with his biceps pushed forward. I guess it’s just the feeling of solidity since they dont lock into place when slid back (could just be both my copies of shadow raider and lockdown), but I also just like the look better.

    that’s because it’s not intended. The biceps are on enclosed mushroom joints and sliding them back is just pushing them out of their intended sockets.

    Both the statue and the 3A figure will be WAAAYYYYY more expensive than the MPM. They better look like they're more expensive.

    Picked up the GDO Powerdive (in a really beat-up box, but item is great) for roughly $17. yeah the wiki says he's the G2 guy but he's totally going on my movie shelf, he'll be a great addition to my decepticons. Plus the alt mode is pure awesome, we rarely get WWII planes like this guy's altmode nowadays!
