lol So I had actually canceled my preorder for the new Springer after seeing the pics of him sporting the blue tinted gray. In person though it’s not nearly as bad as I had thought.

Haven’t transformed him yet, it does seem like a daunting task, but he’s a fantastic figure and has taken the previous Springer’s spot with my season 3 bots.

Gonna rename the old one and put him with the AU team made up of other bots that got replaced by newer figures. Including a couple other Springers.

 

I'm only allowing myself 1 figure per wave. What's the better choice? Sixgun or ironhide?
I really liked hound from the 1st wave.

 

Great review! And pics! I certainly appreciate the in-depth commentary and the context it was presented in.

Nice to see some constructive criticism mixed in with the ole’ appreciation thing  

 

11% increase for deluxes in the span of a year isn’t marginal when deluxe figure pricing has climbed considerably over 10 years in a recovering economy ($18 to $20, which already rose from $15 to $18 in 2014/2015, which in turn ran from $12 to $15). Likewise, there was a 20% for voyagers ($25 to $30) in a 2 years beginning in 2017. The last decade saw an almost 100% increase in deluxe costs and 50% in voyager costs. Leaders have only risen by 11% in the span of 10 years, though their size has shrunk considerably.

Again, I’m saying all of this despite liking the figures themselves. Just healthy to raise a few questions.

I just can’t fathom why when the economy is objectively stronger than it was back in 2012. Oil prices are cheaper as well. I do like the quality but I’m very confused as to why it’s taken 6 years to get here, why they’re still relatively smaller height-wise, and why the prices haven’t gone down...other than Hasbro’s unwillingness.

 

Yeah! Ultra Magnus is the fattest of them all!

I found these

Now I wish I had the Legands Windblade, Twin Twist, and Topspin for the Targetmasters. Will get that Apeface and Crosshairs for sure.

 

Spinister looks weird... but that won't stop me.

 

What Spinister? All I see are Apeface, Astrotrain, and Crosshairs.

Nevermind, found Spinister images.

Edit: Transformers: War For Cybertron Figures Revealed

Spinister looks ok to me.

 

I put the larger images here: War for Cybertron (2019) Speculation thread

The Facebook post says it originated from Screenrant. I'll try and find the original source posting.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

 

I told myself I didn't need to buy another Astrotrain...damn it, I'm buying another Astrotrain.

 

I never thought I’d see the day:

Leader Class Astrotrain

YAAAAASSSSSSSSSS

Finally a version of Astrotrain that doesn’t suck

 

I am at this crossroads myself. I love my LG Astrotrain

 

All four are getting bought, oh hell yes they are.
