    I like the added height but dislike the lack of a thigh on the leg extensions. EESH!

    I'm a big fan of DNAs products, I'll probably grab up both of these.

    They couldn’t have extended the thighs as well? I mean, the proportions are laughable

    I'd assume it has something to do with retaining functionality but we'll have to wait and see.

    This probably can't be fixed, but my problem with Magnus is more his narrow shoulders than his legs. His arms look stubby and awkward in most poses.

    I wasn’t going to buy Galaxy Prime but this has me reconsidering. Not a fan of the knee placement on those new legs though.

    Hard call, I like the hight and I think the normal legs are crap (I need to go fix the ratches) but DAMN! The thighs like bizarre.

    i just put in a PO for both of these. the added height is a plus and the addition of a second front wheel really changes the look of the alt modes. the weapons and cannon fillers are a great as well.

    I'm sold for the Optimus upgrade! Love it! I
    As for Magnus, it looks good, but the way I have him (without chest armor) is perfect for me.

    I'm curious because it looks like the legs collapse inward but I'm not entirely sure. I tend to also like my OP without his backpack/chest and I'm not sure if the extended legs would look well like that foe him.

    I love the leg extension of for Magnus. Couldn't care less about the axe and hammer.

    I'm down.

    The extra height is good, but the thighs are same length as before! This is like AOE Galvatrons voyager where the shins were 4/5th of the leg. I know long shins make for "heroic" proportions, but thers a big problem when the thighs are cubes.

    Wow. Those new legs make them proper Leader-Class scale just as I like it!

    I definitely want Magnus, but if Optimus is ever repainted in the red/black “Galaxy Force” colors I’ll get him too.

    I would really like this set and I would probably get it if they had extended the thighs and not the lower legs, the lower legs being extended throws the proportions off even further. I really like everything else this kit does, if they fix the thighs then I'd be totally down for the Prime set, and would consider the Magnus set also.

    No, waflhaus91! You do NOT need these kits! I don't care how awesome those axes look!

    Maybe if I keep telling myself that I'll start to believe it.

    Got both sets pre-ordered. Mostly for the weapons & weapon fillers. Not sure if I will switch out the legs or not.

    Eh, some of the other ones do the job better but do require painting. I can see these going over well.

    For gawd’s sake, though, will SOMEONE give us a kit for Megatron to make his thighs and chest longer and higher that isn’t a Shapeways one??

    Wow, the new legs make the figures look a lot better and proportionate. If they didn't have battle damage, I'd consider buying these figures now.

    What, you want him to have an even longer chest? I think his chest is already too wide.
