    The knees might not be straight on the new one so he might be slightly taller than he is here. (SS)

    Ah... Back when the Camaros looked like cool muscle cars, now they're like sports cars.

    I won't say that the newer Camaros didn't look like muscle cars, but I do prefer the 5th gen Camaro (or even the pre-facelift 6th gen) over..... whatever this is.

    A SS version of concept Camaro Bumblebee would be a nice surprise, but I can live without it since there's already a huge ton of Bumblebees in Studio Series.

    I just re-ordered DOTM Deluxe Sideswipe.

    I know there's a SS Sideswipe, but I prefer the DOTM Deluxe one- because it's not covered in paint, so you don't have to worry about paint chipping or anything like that.

    I remember having a lot of fun with him when I originally had him- it'll be nice adding him to the shelf again- he's a neat little dude. ^_^

    I'm concerned with the amount of dropkicks that are clogging up the shelves. The last thing I want is for SS to get cancelled because they dont sell. My target had four pegs and a shelve full of Dropkick... Which seemed completely unnecessary. Then again, I may be looking into this too much, Targets here had a bunch of Stingers at one point, and they all sold before the Holidays.

    On another note, that Bonecrusher looks good but I might wait for a slight oversize. As accurate as his size may be, I'd personally like him to be bigger. Really happy he was re-designed though.

    unfortunately you have to worry about discoloration with that one.
    the mirrors on mine have turned yellow.

    Hmmm...I’ll have to remedy that I guess.

    Should I even consider getting that DotM Megatron, when I own the TLK Mold?

    Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! :)  Probably gonna go ahead and get myself a DOTM Ratchet then lol.

    Man I know people give the first SS prime a lot of flak, but I really love how articulated he is.

    And I'd consider the DOTM one if you like the design, since it's VERY different from the TLK mold.

    Rampage is more or less confirmed since he is 37 and BB Optimus is 38

    Do they? I love my SS Optimus- I consider him one of the nicest movie Primes in my collection. He’s very well done. ^_^

    I think the issues people have with it are the dark colors and the weird looking chest (and maybe the size, since that was a big deal when SS came out). But yeah other than that he looks (and feels, from what I've heard) absolutely wonderful. Might jump on the wave 5 prime if someone makes a set of blades for him, as it's a nice upgrade from my 2007 Voyager :D :D

    Yeah right? To me even the best prime ever. Alt mode is too small though. I'd love to see a comparison of SS Ironhide and 32 OP in VEHICLE mode.

    Honestly I think SS is fine, my local stores are empty now on the SS front, yet wave 2 POTP remains.

    Mine was a little knockoff movie starscream legends class dude from a dollar store. Then I heard about SS starscream, and now I'm sitting here about 65 figures later lol

    I was curious so I ordered Brawl and Megatron and was so impressed I went out and bought Starscream, Crowbar and Stinger. Since then I've been hooked.

    If you are going for 07 cast, I would go with 07. If you don't mind diff color, I would personally go after DOTM for his better paint and gun. If you can paint, I would go after DOTM. You can paint in his headlamps your self.

    Also, welcome to the club man, hope you have fun in this thread.
