    It’s odd that Earthrise isn’t getting much attention. Seems like whenever a new line starts there’s lots of coverage, pictures and reviews however with ER it’s slowly just kind of there. No fanfare like all the other lines. Even before it reaches western markets, which I understand it’s only hitting a little of west coast so far, there’s usually tons of pictures and crazy combos of things testing stuff out. The fact that it’s so limited as well should make the pics and such come flooding in faster.

    I keep checking the appreciation boards, feedback boards, Instagram, and YouTube over and over but almost no news... it’s just so odd to me. I can wait but normally we didn't have to. It’ll come I guess but.... you know?

    I think once more people are able to get their hands on the figures reviews and pics will flood in. Another thing to consider is that the first wave doesn't seem to be that popular with many people yet. Once people get the in hand pictures and actually start to make the figures look good I think it'll change.

    Too early. ER hasn't been set for mass release yet. No confirmed sightings at Walmart yet.

    I'm still 'appreciating' Siege.
    My first ER figures (micromasters) are arriving next week but Amazon is only shipping wave 1 Deluxes in April apparently. Until such time I'll be mostly only lurking here.

    Haven’t transformed them yet, but so far so good.

    Damn, Grapple is a LOT smaller than I expected. Cliifjumper I get, but I don't see any reason Grapple is not at least as tall as POTP Inferno.

    Be interested to see him unboxed and next to that Bee, and/or some other Legends...

    I just transformed Optimus. Jesus, it’s certainly more involved than the siege one.

    im pretty sure there arent any wfc voyagers that are as tall as potp inferno, so the internal scale for wfc would be the reason

    Its pretty weird how there is a lot of variation within the deluxe range, but tall deluxes, voyagers and leaders are pretty much the same height. :confused:

    less room for variation since the main portion of a leader is a roughly voyager sized bot.

    that extra half inch definitely means it's worth 10$ more

    Yeah, Grapple's way too small, in either mode. My Earthrise purchase list remains very short.

    This is the guy I've been waiting for, because 1) I had a G1 Hoist as a kid, 2) I am a sack of meat and chemicals, and despite knowing the character never did anything or had a personality to speak of, 3) see 1 and 2. You guys can be attached to Sideswipe, I can be attached to Hoist.
