    Hmmm....this means other retailers should be getting their allotment in a few weeks. Nice. Can't wait.

    Mine is an older copy so I’m not confident to comment on the final. Sorry!

    I will wait for reviews, because I already have the FT version and it's pretty decent but MMC did a better Arcee (imho) than FT so anything's possible.

    I like FT's recessed grill better but the rest, the shoulders, the hips the no wheel in the shins, it's all MMC. Now a comparison next to OpenPlays Big Spring!

    I’m pretty confident in MMC here. The articulation is incredible and the sleekness is so much nicer. Also that alt mode!
    So nice. So clean and stylish. And the shoulder options are great. I’m liking the OX styled longer ears. Probably my default head set.

    That’s exactly what I was thinking. FT chest grill is really the only thing it has going for it over this. The rest of FT is kind of kibbly and messy.
    I already have Big Spring who’s cool and will maintain one of the three spots in my collection. MMC and XTB will take the two final spots for Springers three modes.
    I own Allen but he is f#cking awful and really has no redeeming qualities. I though he might work for one of the alt mode spots but once I had him in hand he disappointed me on every level. He’ll be going to my kids toybox. Let them toss him around and treat him like the Fisher Price toy he resembles

    Saltus is coming along very nicely.

    I don't know whether it's improved paint application or just different lighting, but the face is looking much better. He looks fab.

    they keep making it look better and better, now they just need to release the darn thing already, lol

    Planet Steel is saying April 26 for release date, and they just updated it from yesterday so maybe we will be getting this by the end of the week.

    Agreed. The face looks much better than a few months ago.

    I don't care much for the character so I didn't feel the need to swap out Allen for Big Spring or Apache. Need to see more pictures of Saltus next to other S3 bots but 130£ plus shipping are a bit much at the moment...

    Damn. The faces look better/crisper! I think FT Springer is getting replaced. He's good, but this guy is looking better right now.
