    Yeah, and that was my point. I don't recall a statement from them about the black Rodimus' knees (or any other MP)...and that was probably the worst and most widespread MP issue to date.

    Honestly, I paid like $300 when he was at his most expensive, and I still feel it's justified. Phoenix is INCREDIBLE. Actually was my first third party figure too.
    I know a couple people have him for sale on the board for reasonable prices

    Dang, thought that's what I wrote! Seriously, it's a really solid figure. It puts the Seige one in the shade, and by all accounts that's a solid mainline figure. Phoenix is excellent.

    How many people here would actually want a little SLA connector piece to attach the MP-44 starscream head to the howling meteor? I'm thinking of making one. I have a Form3 printer and I'm willing to send out some freebies. He’d look so good

    Same here. In a heartbeat.

    I just know it'd cost $700.

    Thanks, my brother!

    Thanks, man! Big fan of your photography.

    The regular 44 release is all I ever wanted or needed so no interest in a + here, but it'd still be a real shame if they left out the trailer. I really don't think they will, either, just like they didn't leave out Megatron's stock and silencer. Prime's trailer is ripe for copious amounts of glorious tampos - it'd be a thing of beauty! Plus 44's trailer is probably the most G1 toy accurate or at least toy inspired trailer yet made. It just makes sense! There are definitely toy fans who'll want that trailer to complete Prime's truck mode and I can't wait to admire it through photos ;)  Of the parts that will not included in a + toy release, the Starscream parts will be left out, probably the battle damage heads, maybe one or both of the undamaged heads, the jetpack, and possibly all of the humans. Maybe even the ax and blast effects, too. Maybe Bumblebee's helmetless Spike will be given blonde hair, a la the comics' Buster?

    Btw, can't believe I've had this guy for a month! Still as madly in love as ever! Still posing my play copy all day every day and the knees are solid. Just realized the other day I haven't even used the Starscream parts yet! Gotta get to it :)
