    Your last part is unclear, but I'll try. If you literally want two for display/backup, that's your personal use, go nuts. I've only done this for one figure, Ectotron. His box is great, but I wanted him in robot mode too. Alternatively, if you're buying to hold until the figure is rare or just selling it right away on eBay, that's scalping.

    i might be missing something but i dont think the spoiler box is shockwave unless they retooled him. the accessory count of and transformation steps of magnus match his original release but shockwave on the other hand has 5 accessories and 28 transformation steps while the spoiler box contains 9 accessories and 34 transformation steps. the only leader class that matches these numbers is galaxy upgrade prime? there might be others but smashdown was the first battlemaster i found that had 6 steps

    I am in for just about everything!!  Nice.  Why is there a render of Earthrise Optimus with silver weathering on the arms and dirty smokestacks???  Is that the \"Spoiler Pack\"??  I would definitely buy.

    I would be careful. The image for the Netflix Prime reveal was a CGI render, and the CGI render for the original Earthrise Prime had red biceps and blue calves also. So we don't know for sure.

    So, why do you keep a closet full of stuff? Paranoid about damage to the primary, so you have a backup? I'm still sure most fans can't or won't afford that, but it's cool to learn what you're up to.

    It occurs to me that this is a pretty weird day for the ER Cliffjumper mold, it just got 2 different yellow remolds (Bumblebee, Hubcap) revealed and both are exclusives.

    I know it says "September" for the Qunitesson pack from Pulse but is the Preorder going live today or is it going live in Sept.?

    Want one for me and one for my kiddo who loves the '86 film.

    Generations Wasp?

    Half the reason I pre-ordered was to see what color his eyes are. If he's exactly the same as before I probably won't hold onto him.

    I just told you why, ppl like to keep one MINT IN BOX AND ONE TO DISPLAY. I'm sure you are going to scalp that ectotron once it hits 100 huh ;)

    I don't even know what thread to post in about the new figures; there's too many...

    Interested to see better pics of Prowl and Ironhide... but not too happy about Ironhide's roof. Can this kind of lazy, egregious partsforming not become the norm, Hasbro?

    Earthrise Bumblebee is just hilarious and not in a good way. Half the car turns into the robot, and the other half just comes off?? How is this a design that got approved? This is not what transformers should be.

    But voyager Optimus with corrected colours and no trailer? Yes PLEASE. Hope it's not Walmart-exclusive in Canada.

    Well that would basically just be a Cliffjumper retool. I mean, selling us a new Bumblebee figure the way they have for every other Siege figure. There's just no way that the only Bumblebee they sell us in the WFC trilogy is a Walmart exclusive. They are DEFINITELY going to sell another one. Maybe with his autobot symbol on his chest (that either rotates or hides in alt mode)
