    Unfortunately prices are not settling down to "normal"... they only go up. :) 

    And while it's "good" for Canadian exports, it's "bad" in terms of consumer goods, which are all mostly imported. And this isn't purely a factor of a weak Canadian dollar, but an inflated US dollar, no?

    Anyways, I'm not holding my breath. If I can't afford it, I can't afford it. I know a ton of collectors who are in the same boat, and it's seriously curtailed their buying, especially on 3rd party stuff... but that was a bubble that was destined to burst eventually anyway. :(

    Also, it looks like Wei Jiang is packing in little decoy Dinobots with it's KO Dinobots!

    The OS Stinger and OS High Octane Bee, are they about HA sized?

    Also, has there even been an AoE Leader Prime that has been painted in Nemesis/black colors?

    Thanks!

    Stinger has 2 sizes now; 1 large and 1 leader sized, the smaller oversized is very close to HA scale, the High Octane Bee, No it is nowhere near HA scale, too big. There is a smaller HO Bee, but it's only slightly bigger than the deluxe release.

    Here's a few more recent phone snaps:

    I'm sure I've posted other pics of those Alphabet and Numbers bots, oh... probably well over a year now. But they still turn up every now and then.
    There's also a few different sets of them. This set, each letter is about 3 inches tall. I'm holding out to see if I ever find the littler ones again, about half this size.

    Nice. I was kinda hoping that they'd not KO BB perfectly and that they'd leave off that Autobot symbol on the hood, but oh well...I'll be getting it anyway.

    There isn't a HO Bumblebee of the scale you(and I) are looking for, yet at least.(someone make this happen please!)
    As Chrg said earlier, the HO Bumblebee is either roughly the size of the deluxe, or comically huge. While on this subject, I found out by accident that that way oversized version had electronics built into the front bumper. The headlights blink and it plays various sound effects, including something that to me sounds like 'Let's go, Rangers!'

    Hahahaha, my OS Megatron says that too.

    Thanks for the info by the way.

    So Stinger is decent enough, and Lockdown is coming too. I think if I get Galvatron and possibly a Blackout (if they make either one) my movie collection will be good to go.

    Unless they do a Leader sized DOTM Megatron...

    Oversized Robot Masters Optimus Prime

    Thanks to g1generation for putting me onto this Oversized Robot Masters Optimus Prime. I'm really impressed with him and I think he's gonna replace my Classics Optimus in my display. He's just got much more of a G1 look.
    I've given mine a little lick of paint to bring out some of the details but it's pretty much good to go out of packaging anyway.
