    I\'m going to have to get Rear Window, just because of the reference to one of my all time favourite films. And I don\'t even collect legends scale :|

    Wow incredible!!!! Having a compact backpack on each that houses fake camera front pieces. This is masterpiece moment style engineering that no other reflector did. This is easily the best reflector ever of any scale.

    Damn those look good! I wonder how much money I would have saved if I did a legends collection instead of masterpiece?

    Estimated release date is December 2020 on ShowZ. I feel crushed, I thought these were right around the corner.

    Oddest reason to blow $90, but... Hitchcock would be honored? :D 
    Not just $$$, also space!

    That said, $90 does not seem like a good price to me. :(  But even Hasbro is asking stupid prices today...

    When will toy companies start lowering prices from the oil price savings they should be getting on plastic? At $90 a set, I'm finding it difficult to collect even Legends toys.

    NA is just way overpriced and a little overated for my taste. hopefully there will be a course correction down the line.

    but if not more power to yall and happy collecting fellas.

    wasn't going to bother with either offerings as i have and happy with papa toys version, even though different scale. but loving the NA G1 toy variation! may pick them up pending price, which will definitely go up givien extra paint app and mold variance. MS price increase is significant and it's not even as drastic a change compared to NA.

    eBay is showing avg around $64 for the NA repaints, where is everyone getting $90 from???

    From all the retailers that have it listed for $90, like BBTS and The Chosen Prime.

    If there isn’t a miniature Jimmy Stewart figure included in the box like Siege Kremzeek, I’m going to be disappointed.

    With those ankles, ball jointed elbows, and frozen wrists I'm gonna have to pass

    I might go for the toy version down the line, because the detailing and painting is absolutely stunning, but the poses they've shown so far have been pretty conservative

    These look great, especially the toy versions. Now if only someone could explain to me why no third party has made toy version heads for Siege Refraktor!

    I must be the only one who still loves ball joints. They really were a game changer in G2 and Beast Wars. Guess I'm just old school.

    Yeah, this part is a little disappointing. I was playing around with the MS version a few days ago, and I really like how sturdy and stable they are, while still being quite expressive in their poses.

    I too, am a fan of ball joints. Once Transformers got those, I had to have them on everything.

    I'd have preferred the pinned hinges they used for their Seekers/Coneheads, Megatron and Ironhide/Ratchet. They're too garrish of a contrast when they're not hidden. The engineering aesthetic clashes against the straight lines of every other pinned or mushroom peg joint imo.

    Love them for hidden joints though. Necks, shoulders etc.

    Love the ball joints in these.  Great engineering.  I hope the \"toy\" variant is both cheaper and easier to get than the recent Hasbro exclusive version.
