    I'll likely end up going the eBay route eventually. It's just been a timing thing; the sellers I trust haven't had him available at the same times I had both the money and the interest to look.

    Well said. Just got him in the mail and honestly, I like my Dutch better for the articulation and transformation. MS Prime does look VERY good but that’s why I sold most of my MPs. They just weren’t fun to play with. DX9/New Age transformations are all intuitive and fun.

    Oof. Wouldn't call dx9 Slag/Sludge 'fun', and Jazz gets hairy around the leg area when going into alt mode (not so much the other way round.), and although (other than Sludge's leg which went really loose after pulling it out to get clearance) nothing has ever broken, I do worry about snapping something with dx9/NA. MS, although they have little panels and such which can be fiddly, I feel like I can step on them and not have them break, so transforming them is a lot more relaxing.

    This is all within degrees, of course, I transform all my legends all the time and most of them are perfectly fine/not too hard. Just defending MS Prime, he's a bit fiddly but fun, mp-like or not.

    For me DX9/NA stuffs are to play around and MST are like a display piece, something like a mini MP.

    True. When they were new, Slag, Sludge, and Swoop induced micro-anxiety attacks whenever I transformed them. And for a while, I thought I had sub-human manual dexterity. Then I realized that it was the wonky engineering, and not me. Eventually, parts brushing against each other due lack of clearance no longer bother me for the most part. But Sludge has never stopped being a pain to transform :p

    I've gotten used to most of them, but I literally cannot transform Snarl into robot mode without tool assistance.

    Same here! But even so I think he's the easiest and most fun of the bunch. Although, that ain't final yet 'cause I'm still waiting for my Grimlock to arrive :p

    (from L to R: PapaToys' PPT-05, Mech Planet/Hot Soldiers' HS02, Jinbao's DF04B Optimum Warrior (OS DX9 Dutch), DCP/First Gear's diecast 1:64 Peterbilt 352 COE Sleeper Cab, MagicSquare Toys' Light of Justice)

    While not a Freightliner 4000, the Peterbilt 352 CoE is very close to the same dimensions; looks like the first three are very close to 1:64, while the MST is not. Hopefully this ruins any misconceptions you have about the relative size of cars to trucks so you'll stop infuriating folks that know how big things actually are.

    So just seen this up for pre-order on ShowZ - apologies if it's been posted elsewhere.

    Thought it may be of interest to some.. :)

    Yeah I also saw this on eBay from baba preselling it for $38 and thought where is a picture of the trailer? So I Then I looked at showz a little closer and it’s says” no trailer included”
    Kinda a bummer, not a deal breaker but worth noting it’s not included
