    What's this about a Jetfire leg mod? I'm very interested, as this is one of my favorite toys...

    I'm not sure what exactly you want to see, and I don't quite have that lineup (I had to cancel my Grand Galvatron preorder due to homeowner issues to free up funds and the post release prices kept me away), but I did snap a few with CW Cyclonus, Legends Galvatron, and TR Scourge.

    All three have their toes on the same line.

    Thanks, I think my concern is whether TR Galvatron would look too dark a purple next to UW Cyclonus, so you using CW Cyclonus and Legends Galvatron gives a similar colour comparison, and it doesn't look as strong a contrast as I thought it would.

    Your shelves are a little bit dusty. I recommend that you should use a paintbrush to clean those figures. (That's what I do, but I havent done in 2 weeks)

    Nice collection by the way.

    I don't have that toy, but I put my pic on the right with one from google images on left. Hopefully someone else has those three.

    Plenty of purple contrasts here anyway.

    TR Galvatron is a bit deeper/darker than cyclonus and Astro. The shockwave behind them is darker again for contrast. Mindwipe in front is lighter than all of them.
    UW Galvy is the emperor lilac color, while UW cyclonus looks more teal/purple/light blue (from pics, never seen it).
    but then those colors show differently under different lighting, particularly teal/lilac/purple LOL , so you get all three with those guys.

    Hey the entire ROOM is dusty! I dust my monitor so I can see, but that is about it. One of the many benefits of the in roof AC is that it puts a lovely layer of dust on everything like every few hours, plus lots of wind in this area.
    YES I"m lazy, but also seriously dusty old house, if you dusted the whole house, by the time you finished, one end would be dusty again, ARGH!

    I was just thinking this but who else hopes Hasbro in a few years make a new Sky Lynx for the CHUG line?

    I want one not because I have any issues with the CW voyager but because he basically doesn't exist! Seriously, was he ever released? I'm not comfortable with money right now to pay the ridiculous prices for the damn thing or the UW set, which I wouldn't get because I already have half of in the form of their IMO superior Combiner Wars counterparts. (UW Ratchet though I would pay separately for if he was on eBay or something)

    I don't care if they make a new voyager, hell hopefully by the time they remake him I'd be comfortable paying the price for a leader figure so make him a leader. Just rectify this HUGE mistake that was CW Sky Lynx and the shitty handling of distribution.

    I'd love to have him in Leader class. Even if he doesn't serparte like the G1 toy,he is still pretty cool. I just don't understand how they designed him. You have a Combiners line and he was a 2 part combiner in G1 and they cut that out to make him a torso? They could of added the Lynx part and he still would have fit a combiner line. Always liked his G1 design.

    I swear i'm not being a smartass....He sells for around 30$(average).So what do you mean by ridiculous prices? Any cheaper and folks would be losing money. He is almost as cheap as most deluxes on the after market.

    Its just most places I've been looking have been charging about leader class prices or higher for him. Its been a while so I guess prices have lowered? Hopefully.
