    One Reflector has been found here in Lima, Peru. Two more to go. The 120 price tag is in the local currency of "nuevo soles" or new suns. That is about $35. Welcome to international Transformers.

    I can't decide on whether to buy Leader Astrotrain, WFCER Optimus Prime, or Studio Series Overload. Any advice?

    Anyone have the Walmart link for Bluestreak? I'm not buying him for $35 on BBTS.

    Red Alert! His Cybertronian script deco, dark blue kneecaps and suggestion of red-rimmed eyes is striking in hand, and, like his mold brothers, he wears Starscream’s crown well.

    Had my doubts after that Leader Earthrise Optimus was announced but after playing with my Siege Prime a little I think I couldn't replace him with anything else. Such a lovely photogenic piece.

    Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Astrotrain would work best if you're trying to complete a Triple Changer collection, or if you're aiming to replace the TR version. Me, I'd get him because I'm a sucker for space shuttles. Earthrise Optimus would be best if you need a definitive Voyager-scale OP with all the bells and whistles without shelling out a ton of money for MP-10V or Classics Prime with a 3rd Party trailer and other upgrades. Studio Series Overload you should only get if you're trying to complete SS Devastator.

    Not sure if it's the same poster, but if it is - and correct me if I'm wrong anyone who knows better - he knows someone on FB that got an early (preview?) copy.

    No. They were freebies / advance copies given to those special few that attended NYCC2019's Hasbro Event.

    Not until December, I got ahold of him early though

    This is basically correct. I did post a few pictures a few days ago so you’re probably referring to me

    If you feel somewhat brave and have a fine detail brush, you can use red transparent paint to color in the jewel on front. The red should be strong enough to not look orange afterward.

    This is what I did:
    Various mods (of mods), custom stuff

    SS Overload hasn't even been formally announced yet. The last 2 SS Constructicons that were formally announced are Mixmaster and Scavenger.
