    Apologies in advance if this was already mentioned somewhere. Googled and did a search of the boards for any existing threads.

    BBTS has some listing for 3D Transformers Puzzles by a company called Mu Model

    These look pretty cool.  Especially that G1 Optimus and the TLK Megatron bust.  I might get them for a somewhat cheaper price.  Though I would much rather see more models continuing the Metal Earth figure series.  We only got four of those.

    While they all look good, these 3D metal kits are really no fun to build for me. And I love buliding model kits & Lego in general (Gundam, Sci-Fi, military, architect).  The only one I may get is Sqweeks, that\'s because all other products we already have better movie/toon-accurate figure/statues representations of.

    I've read these are a total pain in the ass to build.

    Very much like the Metal Earth model kits. Needlenose pliers and tweezers are a must. The benefit that at least the G1 Prime has, is that you are working with much larger pieces.

    I've built quite a few Metal Earth kits and have a decent toolkit going for them. Few different needlenose pliers, few tweezers, a dozen or so different rods/pens/misc round items for bending around, a little block I 3D printed with edges and curves and some misc items from around the house.

    First one I built took an afternoon and was honestly stressful, rest not so much. I could see myself trying to hunt down the G1 Prime, the rest probably not.

    That G1 Prime model looks awesome just not at $59.99. Don't get me wrong, it may be a decent price but I have crappy luck building models and have messed up a few beyond repair in my model building days and I don't think I could stomach screwing up a $60 kit.
