    That's the impression I was getting with how similar the engineering was to '06 classics.

    What would you say the biggest pros (and cons) are for this guy? Cuz at $30+ a pop if it doesn't hit the target I'd like to invest that elsewhere.

    I'm not a completist, either, but I did get siege skywarp (really dig the Colonial Viper vibe). And maybe that's the key, just having to wait until the target 2-pack is out so I can get it in Skywarp colors... might be the tie breaker I need.

    Thanks, QH!

    Pros:
    - Much more poseable than the classics deluxe
    - Colors look more authentic to G1
    - Ankle rockers
    - Head is way better due to improved engineering over Classics version
    - Transformation has some neat additional bits, including how the arms and feet transform
    - Voyager size scales better with studio series and other recent G1-ish releases

    Cons:
    - QA issues from tight joints to stress marks to outright broken hinges out of the package (mine is fine though)
    - Clearance issues cause some paint scraping off and the wings are likely to pop off during transformation
    - It’s another Seeker mold
    - Head is sliiiightly on the small side
    - I think some people dislike the null ray design
    - No wrist swivel
    - No landing gear

    Here. If you are anywhere near by ask them to look out back if you don't see them.

    Florissant is Whovian’s domain. Arnold is too far south for me and only had one left supposedly.

    Edit: I wonder if all the local stores are getting them in and updating inventory today. Now Kirkwood shows that they have 6.

    Just did my taxes and I think I'll have to put the TFs shopping on hold for a bit.

    Hmmmm...
    I can live w/o the landing gear and wrist swivels. The QA issues are always a toss-up.

    How much is the two-pack going for? I just remembered I have a gift card so maybe I'll rethink this once I get it in-hand.

    Thanks again, QH!
