    Repaints or reissues?

    Is there going to be a Bumblebee version?

    Are the details on his forearms meant to be anything. It reminds me of fake kibble meant to represent the taillights, but that seems completely unnecessary for a reimagined character, right?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they reissue GrindRod in a color scheme closer to his G1 self.

    That will REALLY piss off the guys who paid $200+ for their v1 Grind Rod. Not that TW cares, nor should they :)  They are under no obligation to protect the collectability of their items.

    Don't like how the toes are kinda loose and don't stay all the way down...

    Anyone else having trouble attaching Shinebug's weapon in vehicle mode? I love how they made it look like the exhaust pipes sticking out from under the bumper, but I can't for the life of me get mine to stay pegged on.

    Love seeing this Goldbug homage. I really want it, but I'm in the same boat as others, where the combiner parts will never get used. As much as I want to like the combiner, the colors clash too much for my taste. But Goldbug? Heck yeah.

    My shinebug's forearms don't peg together for anything. Is this a common problem? Any fixes?

    Between the holes in Aurora's knee, Trace's arms popping off, and this I swear my OS KOs are higher quality.

    Same problem here. Would love to know if there's anything which can be done about it. While neither are good, one forearm is substantially worse than the other.

    Finally got him, grabbed him and FP Deluxe Insecticons at TF Source.

    I came fiddled with the back and discovered an alternate back that doesn't leave the canopy hanging, another option.

    Similar problem with left forearm of mine, I'm thinking of filing it a little. Also right Toe slider is loose.
