    Possibly... I like him, but he falls just short of being Masterpiece. Feel free to PM me!

    I just got mine NIB and I'm having the opposite problem. I like him but I don't love him. He just doesn't quite hold that CHUG quality for me. I'm going to give mine a few days. I hope he grows on me, because I really want to like him. But I might be persuaded to sell him, if the price is right.

    Yeah he's great, it's just that I can see the potential for someone to come along with a 'proper' Masterpiece Astrotrain (let's face it, probably several will be announced within days of one another!) so I ended up letting him go.

    I'm more flexible than most when it comes to what I put in my MP display. I originally bought this guy for my CHUG display years ago and was perfectly happy with him there, but with a head swap and fan mode feet transformation, I'm satisfied with him in my MP display now. I just need to get some poseable hands for him, and that'll be that.

    I really need this lad myself. I was watching one on eBay that was £37, totally forgot and missed it in the end. Argh.

    Is there any chance another company can take this design and do a proper run?

    I really want one but not at the current aftermarket prices

    I'm sure XTB and FT will do their versions.

    Woof! Damn it’s going for that much now?! I remember when sellers were offloading this cause no one was buying.

    I'm pretty sure the main point of wanting this guy is to have an Astrotrain that fits in with Classics. Those two groups are not going to do that.

    It was pretty smooth out of the box, so I just painted it, no sanding. It wouldn't require much effort to get it perfectly smooth from what I recall. Depends on what material you order it in too.

    I tried to love this guy, I tried for a year now, but I am pretty heavy handed. First time I transformed him I broke the small panel behind his head that attach the backpack. I love playing with my bots, so he doesn't do it for me. He is a pain to transform (scared to break more parts)

    He does look good so I suppose if you have him on a shelf and never mess around with it, he's ok.
