    I just got Legends Hound, Jazz, and Megs today from BBTS. Let me just say for being the small Legends class these 3 are amazing. Absolutely awesome. Excellent articulation for their size.
    I got Legends Red Alert as well, and he works real well for a repaint.

    The great quality of these are really making me look forward to Legends Cosmos, Beachcomber, and Brawn.

    I bought Jazz and Hound yesterday for kicks. Jazz is way awesome. I like how the door kibble on his back look like wings, but at the same looks like a front half a car is on him. Hound looks great but his arms pretty weak. They can't move much, unless you bend them over his tires. Leg articulation on both is decent since they have knee joints.

    If these figures also had elbow joints, they would be A++++++++++++++++++++++

    I was gonna pass on these. But as I picked up a set for Uncrazimatic, I said "what the hell, I'll give 'em a try" and am SOOO FRICKEN GLAD I bought them. ALL THREE ROCK! :rock 

    Just wish Jazz had a little more paint apps. :(

    I think part of the reason these new Classics legends are as good as they are is that they are more or less their own thing, and don't have to mirror bigger Cybertron or Movie designs, (maybe relatively simple G1/G2 designs though), so there's a little more freedom for the designers.

    They had these on the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart already. Kinda weird.

    Haven't opened mine yet but they look neat!

    Did they actually have them at clearance prices, though?

    My stupid W*M moved the Marvel TF Crossovers to the clearance aisle the week after they showed up, but the price is still normal.

    Picked up all three of these guys yesterday and I love 'em. I kind of wish Hound was more of an olive color, but I'm certainly not complaining. His front wheels are a bit of a bummer, but I can deal with something like that on a scale this small.

    All three are pretty tight in both modes and hold together really well. These are like what I wished the minibots were in the 80's.

    Now, bring on Cosmos, Brawn and Beachcomber! And i really, really want to see a G1 Prime in the Legends line.

    I agree with the majority here, these guys are really nice for their size class. I would love to have more and I will. I've actually comissioned another board member here to add more articulation and so far what he's done with Jazz has blown me away. I'll paint them myself and hopefully learn how to do the mods he did when I see them up close.

    Man, as soon as I find these? G2 Megatron is totally joining my WSTs, in a properly terrifying stature.

    I already have an authentic WST Jazz, so he's a pass, and Hound...well... if he hadn't been popping so many Energon Growth Hormones, maybe he would fit in. Instead he's a FREAK! FREEEEAK! :eek:

    I find Legends Megs looks good hanging out with Spychanger Prime (the repaint of Scourge)

    Megs is my fave of the three. Jazzand Hound are both great Legends, but have some wierdness or flaw to their design (hollow legs, parts that get in each others' way), but Megatron has next to nothing in the way of flaws.

    I kind of wish Meg's head wasn't attached to the turret, but yeah, he's one of my favorite Legends to date.

    Truth. I picked him up today at TRU, and I love his little G2 heart. A few paint touchups to add some detail to his treads and such, and he's definitely joining the WSTs...even though he'll tower over all of them*, even WST Brawl...

    *(Well, except for the WST Dinobots.)

    Found Jazz & Megatron at my local comic shop at a markup so I only picked up Jazz but it was worth it. These new Legends are awesome & I'll probably pick up Hound & Megatron when I see them at retail.

    picked up Jazz, Megs, and Hound at the local Walmart. They are great for 44 a pop. Love the head sculpt on Jazz the most.
