    Yes I will, but I won't get it until a couple of weeks as I'm waiting for more stuff to save on shipping.

    Hm, well thanks for the info and im very interested with the icy blue color described. Now, why dont you post the pics that you have with you that the seller has sent or that you have seen i mean at least to give a little idea as to what this toy looks like. Then, once you actually get it you can post better ones with more articulation and detail.

    I promised to not post them. I will post my own.

    Actually, the plastic color is very similar to the one found on Protoform Prime.

    Not that I don't appreciate the early looks (I really, really do), but what's the appeal here? I don't think you've done many test shots or prototypes, but mostly production samples instead. So why not just wait a little and save some $? I'm just curious what your motivation is.

    From what I know, we've seen nothing as of yet. We're not even sure what the official title will be yet. I'm looking forward to the new show. Back to the topic of the thread, from that description of FAB Megs, I'm interested to see what it looks like, but I'll probably not get it. Peace out.

    To get the stuff 3-4 months before you do maybe? I don't care if they're test shots or production samples, as long as they look like the final thing. I don't want half painted crap. Like I've said numerous times, I'd rather pay more to get something early that I really want than waste my money on Minicons, basics, repaints, variations, etc. If you look at my collection, you'll see I'm far from being a completist, I mostly collect Primes, Megs, Starscreams (1 per mold, absolutely NO repaints) and a few of the better bots from other series. I could have gotten other movie deluxe or FAB figures but decided not to because I don't want them in my collection. If I buy it, that's because I definitely want it.

    You see, I paid $65 shipped for that Megatron. In the meantime, some guys here will buy Classics Cliffjumper, Skywarp, Magnus, wave 1-2-3 Minicons, Legends, 6Ti Fallen, 6Ti Cheetor, etc. ending up spending more than me on figures that I don't even want. Yes, I paid more than retail, but I like the fact that I can enjoy it now and not in June. To me, the extra money is well worth it.

    Hmm, well in that case i guess you dont mind spending money as long as you get something prior to everyone else? I guess sometimes that goes well specially for youre recent purchases, but sometimes it can go wrong because if i recall correctly you got the starscream and it has like a messed up face and crap. In that case, I would have not bought the toy =P


    and damn it ! i at least want to see some screencaps or designs of the new show... how is it we get designs from THE MOVIE but cant get designs froma show? lol it doesnt make sense! =(

    Clarified.

    Seriously, though, right on. I'll admit I don't get your mindset, but it's no stranger than my hobby is to non-collectors in general. If your mental calculus says extra $ = thrill of earlier gratification, than hell yeah.

    And thanks again for sharing 'em with the fandom.

    I for one love the messed up face; I plan on repainting it slightly to give a better battle damage look.

    I love the quote alteration. :D 

    I forgot to mention, I don't spend a lot of money from my bank account; if I want something, I look behind me on my shelves and try to sell something I don't want anymore to get the money. I've been also clearing out a lot of rare and valuable cds I wasn't listening to anymore. So it's more trading something for something else than actually spending money. As far as I recall, last time I used my bank account to pay for a Transformer was last week for Ramjet. Before that, I don't even recall. Probably the Titan Megazord I bought early January before moving here.

    2 ******ed drawings I just did to give you an idea...

    Jet mode (sorta)

    [​IMG]

    Robot mode (sorta)

    [​IMG]

    That's lame, I know. :)  No quibble under the wings. The arms are pointing forward on each side of the "cockpit", and the legs are at the back, in the middle (feet completely at the back). I kinda messed up the foot/lower leg area though.

    2 small amounts of money over 2 months ain't bad at all I think. :)
