    Is SS-45 Drift worth it, to those that have it? Was watching some AOE scenes, and even though my opinions on the movie are kinda meh, I still like his design. And despite being a remold of Dropkick, it looks like the best version of Drift so far. Didn’t intend to spend more money on an SS figure I didn’t plan on, but if it’s good enough then perhaps I will

    I seen some people on a Facebook group saying we’re supposed to get a price increase. Is this true? They didn’t cite any sources or anything.

    they also said Warden and the CEO are close to retirement. Is this true?

    Eh probably just going off past years. Tbh at this point if it that happens it'll just be the same thing that happened in the past, we complain about it for a few weeks and then stop caring about the $1-3 increase and just go with it.

    It has a fun transformation, the best deco for Drift IMO and the closest robot mode(due to being more like a humanoid). I'm not a fan of how the landing skids hinder the double knee joints.

    Most accurate movie Drift to me but 2nd best movie Drift toy to me(PLOT TWIST:
    My favorite one is the AOE voyager, yea he's out of scale with SS but in my head cannon I can just make him ascended shogun sword god of the blade master of swords ballet blade master Drift

    He's a great deluxe.
    I love the transformation on him and how he comes with his two swords, a shield and those two missile pods.
    Really all the deluxes of his wave (Drift, Car Dropkick, Hightower) are really winners for me.

    I was starting to think if I should change something in my collection....
    I wanted at the beginning all my cars and truck in mpm scale (so 1:30, more or less) so I got MPM03 and 05, BMB Sideswipe and WJ m01 and Black Apple Optimus.
    But now with all the new Ko and 3rd party offers coming out I´m not sure anymore (I think about BMB Jetfire, Devil Saviour Devastator, and also some older figures like DF Bonecrusher and UT Challenger). Should I sell my Optimi and buy the MPM or Legendary Toys, so that I have 1:30 for cars and 1:35 for trucks? I´m really tempted by now... Also because the G1s Masterpieces are growing in me and that´s how they scale....
    My fear is that if I remain on the 1:30 I will never get some characters that are now available in 1:35...
    What shoul I do? Decisions decisions!!

    Devastator head: DS vs SS
    both of them are great!
    DS
    Pro:
    -bigger, big enough to scale with ss Optimus
    -more mechanical detail
    -great painting
    -have open mouth sucking mode
    Cons:
    -the transformation process is a disaster, too complex, not enjoyable, I do not want to transform it to other mode again
    - not a hasbro product


    SS
    Pro:
    -great detail and denser than DS
    -easy and wonderful transformation, enjoy to transform it many and many times
    -it is hasbro product
    Cons:
    -a bit small compared to ss prime
    -not much metallic painting
