    Still wish they'd upscale that Ironhide to a deluxe.

    These look really cool, but I am more interested in inevitable Skywarp & Thundercracker repaint. Maybe with some new weapons or new heads.

    I have the first release. Really love this seeker mold. I hope SSI releases it in several different seeker colors. Maybe as a two or three pack. I can never have enough cool looking legend class figures.

    They've teased a WfC Optimus (w/possible Apex/Powermaster armor upgrade??), the Combaticons (with full combiner action), and what appears to be an Ultra Magnus.

    Maybe it's just me, but is the paint on anybody else's figures wearing off with very little play? I've purchased both of their sets and have had this happen. I really like the figures but I don't want to continue to waste money if the paint is going to come off so easily

    My regular Heavy Metal is having this problem. The paint is almost tacky on him which isn't great on something this expensive.

    Just got in the repaint set, and this is some flaky paint. I took them out of the package and transformed them once each, and the paint on some of the ball joints is already mostly off.

    Also, there's a lot more plastic flash than one would expect with a set so expensive.

    BUT, I came here to ask... the original set came with a giant gun for Starscream. The gun had, what, a magazine that you load in? Something that plugs in on the side. This new set doesn't come with that gun, yet it comes with one of those side-plug-ins. Is this to replace the earlier one? Does it go somewhere else? It isn't shown in the instructions.

    I was pretty interested in these since I'm a sucker for WfC/FoC designs but when I saw that they were mostly painted pieces, I decided to hold off for this very reason. Glad I did but bummed that it turned out this way. I guess there's such a thing as too much paint app.
