    If we really do have to wait till September for wave 2..... God, I don’t want to think how many Ironworks I’d buy by then.

    I've got you covered there! - just print these in black for Trailbreaker as they use the same door parts. That thread has links for both Cults3D if you have your own 3D printer or a link to Shapeways if you don't!

    How close does the green match up to Hoist with the shapeways option?

    I don't want to take this thread off topic and derail it, so if you have further questions PM me. However, Shapeways' green plastic will be a fair bit brighter than Hoist's green plastic. For Hoist specifically, I actually recommend going the print yourself route if possible and using the dark green pla+ plastic I recommended on the kit's Cults3D page, as that green plastic is basically a 99% perfect color match to Hoist.

    I haven’t taken Sunstreaker from his package yet, but so far the yellows aren’t near as bad in hand than in photos.

    Weird how cameras punch up the contrast like that.

    I'm surprised how much I enjoy this figure.

    And yes, I posted earlier too about the mismatching yellows, and how they are no where near as bad in person.

    Trailbreaker's matte black finish is superb as is the figure. Usually I like gloss but for him it rocks.

    'Streaker is my jam.

    Streaker's pretty great, but man does he need a better weapon/gun, that engine does not work at all.

    Yeah, I'm already going through my weapons box to fit him with something better. Siege Sideswipe is using the cannon Dotm Sideswipe has aling with the rest of Siege's arsenal so SS has to have something to match that.
