You don't have issues. I have to have everything that looks cool to me. If I like it, I just can't pass it up knowing if I decide I have to have it that bad later I'll pay even more. I have literally spent thousands of dollars this year on transformers. Way more than I should have. But I have a good job, and my bills are paid so I don't feel tooooo bad. Should think of my savings for the future more, but, for now... Gotta have em.

 

Everything you said brother is early the same for me. I have a good job, wonderful family, and all bills are paid. But I have that problem also. Some collectors drive themselves nuts with collecting to scale, I drive myself nuts collecting by cool. No matter if I need or want it, if it's cool I gotta get it. And I have spent way more than I thought I would. And it's not looking like next year is gonna be any cheaper.

 

Yeah it's been an expensive year. I have a good job too, and I usually have a decent amount every month to blow on transformers. I keep telling myself it won't always be this way and eventually I'll be all caught up, but there is always something else to buy. At least they tend to hold their value so if there is an emergency (hate to think of it) they can always be sold off

 

Dude, totally do it. Aces is great. I ordered that set.

 

Oh nice, not to awful far. My dad worked in canton for over 40 years.

 

Ha, I know! Next year holds the final members of some combiner teams, a bunch of masterpieces, as well as a lot of other cool stuff. '14 is gonna be another good one. Man cave is getting ridiculous. Lol

On topic though, this guy is fantastic. But I too have a few stress marks on the blue flaps on his legs.. They're not too bad and they're the same on both sides so it almost looks like detailing.. Haha

 

Haven't checked mine for stress marks, must have over looked them if there is any. I was to captivated by the figure to notice.

 

Yeah its awesome. Makes me want to order there brainstorm.

 

Woot got my shipping info from Mr Sidecutter  

 

Brainstorm is amazing. Simple but satisfying transformation, and sick posability. His colors aren't very photogenic, none of the pictures or reviews I've seen online do the figure any justice.

 

Just having Orion has made me rethink getting all of toyworld figures. I definitely want brainwave. I like the size of their bots. If there is a magnus or another megs in the works I know I will be getting those to.

 

So I received my replacement bumper in the mail today from daelite20 and painted it as soon as I got it. Now fully attached and with the painted headlights, I'm ready to show off the end result. This is going to look awesome with my G3 trailer now!

I have my tracking number from Captured Prey.

 

If mine went out earlier today then I'm thinking it will come Saturday  

 

Got my shipping confirmation from CP, soon Orion will be mine! Happy dance

 

When did you guys preorder?

 

Well i dont usually get both so I'll way my decision based on these criteria, from greatest value to least :

1. Design- do I like the look? (value 0-5)
2. Quality- durability, scale, articulation, etc (value 0-4)
3. Price- is the price fair (value 0-3)
4. Paint- paint apps (value 0-2)
5. Is he compatible with my collection (value 0-1)

Depending on these factors is how I make my decision also, official or not is not a factorFor me . Hope this helps 

 

I ordered mine on the 15th of September.
