    Roritchi is quite stunning in person. The gold is very nicely done.

    Trailbreaker was never on my "most favorite " list. Still isn't. The figure is nice, as was Hoist, but the brown/black plastic kind of looks off-character.

    Bugbite is pretty awesome. Loose waist joint aside, the white is vibrant and the purple guns and red eyes really set it apart.
    Gotta get rid of that logo, though. Did it for Exhaust, so Bugbite will also get a proper badge.

    Cool.


    Sunstreaker got back ordered yet again. Now it could come after Thrust and Runabout, provided they ship on time.

    Damn!

    I didn't think I'd like ER Ironhide more than WFC (into which I poured money for fillers and love in the form of extra paint).

    Here we are though, instant preference... This just makes my brain very happy. WFC Ironhide is not gonna get much 'out of the box time' anymore I'm afraid (and no sass about selling him, he's still my precious boy, just less precious)

    Weirdly enough I think it was the connon/booster slide gimmick on the 'shield' that did it. Go figure... Glad I went for the Paradon Medic box as well.

    FYI the same filler sets will work with the ER Ironhide, just got some Siege Ironhide/Crosshairs sets and mixed them to get the reds in the right spots for ER Ironhide (Crosshairs set comes with red leg fillers while Ironhides has grey)

    memories of listening to Dr Demento on Sunday nights at about the same age that I got into transformers. Nostalgic.

    why?

    Similar to my Wheeljack, it looks like there's excess flash on Bumblebee's biceps' pegs that prevents the arms for swiveling properly. I had to jam my pair of gunpla snippers in there to trim off some of the excess plastic to free up some movement.

    Other than that and some minor tabbing issues, Bumblebee's alt mode is super cute.

    As I was putting boxes into storage, noticed that our Bumblebee came with 2 copies of his background insert / panel. Only have 2 other Netflix Deluxes and both have 1 insert. I guess the opposite problem is something to look for.

    Correct.

    On both counts.

    I actually bought some stl files someone on the forum made for the Siege mould so I'm going to have some printed out for Ironhide, Crosshairs and Ratchet, save a little cash that way.

    Nice, I went the preprinted route simply because I don't have a printer of my own
