    So I used my big brain time, did some fancy calculating and financial black magic fuckery, and was miraculously about to allocate a whopping sum of THIRTY-SIX DOLLARS of my stimulus check for a new figure. But the real problem that my big brain can't solve is: Who to get?

    I'm choosing between CJ, WJ, Hoist and Grapple.

    I do in fact want and plan to get all of these figures at some point. I just can't decide on which one to get first.

    Out of the ones you listed, I like all of them but Hoist surprised me the most....and I was pretty content with the T30 version beforehand. Grapple was more impressive than I thought it would be but is shelfwarming so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it in the future. I think it's a winner but I could've waited. Cliffjumper is great but I would've felt better if I waited for a sale. Wheeljack is good, familiar transformation to the MP and intuitive.

    Prime undergoes the reformatting process in Project: Earthrise. Unfortunately, his men can't tell the difference. [​IMG]

    I was able to narrow down my choices to Cliffjumper and Grapple. But I had such a hard time choosing between the two, I rearranged some numbers and bought both, lol.

    If I knew you had that budget I would’ve suggested er voyager prime or starscream

    seriously I’m my opinion the closest you can get to an mp. The molds are near perfect ( minus gaps on screamer and primes small ab area )

    Got Prime on preorder with Pulse cause it's set to ship the day before my birthday. As for Screamer, I'm skipping the ER Seekers. I prefer the Siege ones.

    Not a fan of the Battle Masters or the weaponizers modulators. Not all of them go with the characters I like.

    Sad.

    I would pay more to get better more accurate accessories.

    yea but most people (or the most vocal people) are already complaining about the prices, best bet is if you want more weapons take the extra you were willing to pay and order the nonnef upgrade sets or other upgrade sets as they come out
