    I remember, about ten years ago, I was in a Kroger owned grocery store and they had the Generations Dinobot and Classics Sideswipe for $15.99 each, and I said no way. No way would I ever pay $16 for a deluxe!

    Oh the fool. The foolish fool.

    Pinned joints, more paint apps, ankle tilts, BETTER plastic than anything in any iteration of generations, streamlined yet innovative transformations, genuine efforts to hide empty space...

    You're tripping.

    Better plastic? I'll have what you are smoking.
    More paint? Lol no.
    Transformations have always been a mixed bag regardless of the line. I'll take a energon dive bomb over 95% of the movie toys.

    I'd argue the increased use of paint is a downgrade, it's somewhat hit and miss between figures, like Siege Sideswipe's great paint compared to ER Runamuck's crap paint. Hell, even two of the same toy can have greatly different paint quality.

    Kinda hard to take ya serious when you’re complaining about prices and wanting them to be what they were a decade ago and wanting to find out at a convention that hasn’t been around for 5 years.

    Transformers WFC Kingdom Variant Packaging has been sited. I picked up the first wave of the deluxe yesterday and didn't think any thing of it until I started seeing the figures show up at Targets today. And the first wave of the deluxe have different hangers. The set I grabbed has Cardboard on Plastic Hanger with Faction Symbol's. The set I've saw at Targets today have just the clear plastic hanger. I have attached images of this variant boxes. Interesting Discovery!!!
