    Chuggy’s hollow limbs kill him for me. Really looking forward to Thomas.

    Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to buy it. I wasn't exactly blown away by the bot mode either. FT for the win.

    Well said!!!

    Thomas may get a repaint if enough demand, and it certainly a very popular character that most fans have been wanting for a long long time, unlike Blurr.

    It the team designing the Stunticons/Aerialbots is in charge of Thomas, this will sell out in less than a month, if that.


    And of course, they need to get that blue on point.

    Does not matter. It will sell out in a month regardless. Have you seen the competition?

    I definitely agree that they need to communicate the colors in advance as accurately as possible though.

    I don't regret buying it, simply because I had an MP scale Astrotrain for several years standing at the rear of my collection... but back then, we had LOTS of "stand-in" figures, so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb the way it does now. I just relocated my main MP collection to a different room though, and Chigurh didn't make the trip. So I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to this one. I do wish it were slightly bigger though. They made Jetfire monstrously, insanely large, made Arcee really big... and then made Astrotrain kinda small. Go figure.

    Chigurh is why I started saying Neo-G1. Fun toy, easy transformation, looks ok. Sold it after stand ins were all getting replaced by more accurate interpretations. That was a long time ago already.

    Could really use some tanks, to make it a tank engine, to be "correct" for that scheme. :p  :D

    Most anticipated figure for me. Zero good MP options for this. Just realized that FT has no competition right now.
