    Just waiting for reflector/refraktor to be listed again at retail price, hopefully soon. That camera mode is looking pretty sweet the more i watch the reviews on youtube. Just cant wait for jetfire as well.

    Just to add something and i mean no disrespect to anybody that does but while i understand keeping certain figures MISB i dont understand those that keep regular ones (that were mass-produced) MISB. Its rare nowadays no matter how nice a figure that a mass produced hasbro release will increase in price in the long run, keeping them MIB is kinda ridiculous or caring that much about the packaging is starting to seem like OCD. The g1 toys and boxes i perfectly understand why you would want to keep them mint but keeping every modern release MIB is a little too much. Its like those sneakerheads that bought 2 of the same jordans during the 80-90s and kept one on ice, only to take them out 10-15 years later and find out the materials had disentegrated and the shoes were no longer wearable. They never got to wear them or enjoy them so what was the point? Caring too much for a dented box coming from amazon is trivial imo, im pretty sure if you worked in one of those warehouses you wouldnt care either or have the time to decide one product at a time, when it comes to a toy im pretty sure as long as its shipped out thats the only thing that matters, to them theyre not thinking collector-friendly, as far as they know the packaging will go straight to the garbage so who cares if its dented.

    Studio Series DOTM Optimus Prime up for pre-order;

    https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-E4522AS00-Optimus-Action-Figure/dp/B07DKTJ8YP/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=transformers+studio+series+amazon.com&qid=1560122382&refinements=p_85:2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=gateway&sr=8-1

    I'm on the fence. I'd like to have it, but the lack of paint on the abs, weapons, and trailer kinda kill it for me. It doesn't help that it stupidly looks like they mistakenly applied the silver meant for his abs on his chest windows instead. That just looks ugly.

    When they initially showed it off I was totally willing to trade or sell my SS-32, and just have this take turns combining with SS Jetfire. But I dunno maaaaaaaaaaaan.

    $38 now and they can keep that it! But on the flip side a Brunt I got last week from Amazon, head came apart when I transformed him so beware.

    That sucks, but it's easy to repair. Two tiny dabs of glue will put those halves back together, no problem. Still sucks, though.

    I know this is basically unimportant information but Greenlight in my order list now has a proper picture. I mean, she still doesn't have a proper page up but it's something.

    How much you wanna bet we get the Race Car Patrol instead?

    Worth a shot for $10, I guess.

    Ordered Off-Road. No set date. I'll be surprised if it's the real deal.

    Just that when it's in your wishlist and you can't pull up the page you can still click in the corner and select pre-order

    I mean, if it is you've got a spare set of Micromasters and can quickly get your money back from Amazon.

    But I've had luck so far getting the right stuff.

    Maybe you got a one-off - I have it in my wish list but there's no preorder button/option to add to cart or anything. Just "See all buying options" which takes me to the dead product page.
