    I watched EMGOs review and this thing is awesome. I had my doubts but its awesome. We have a good selection of non-transforming figures to choose from these days. We got RED Line from Hasbro, Super7, Three Zero and Flame Toys.

    I also just saw the emgo vid. While I don't collect these types of figures, I can easily admit that this figure makes my transforming siege version look like a Happy Meal toy. The difference in quality, craftsmanship and build is significant.

    Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy DLX Scale Collectible Series Nemesis Prime PX Previews Exclusive

    BBTS also has this available for preorder now.

    The DLX line is prettt niche to begin with, and this style of figure might be better suited for the Movie designs, but it's interesting that either ThreeZero felt the Netflix series was enough of a thing to make expensive figures of, or that Hasbro may have approached them with the idea.

    I'm a sucker for the black and teal so I'll happily add this to the Nemesis shrine.

    I'm not knocking it. But I think would have been a hell of an opportunity for 3A to get some love for making premium transformable figures.

    I can understand some people want premium format figures, I can never and will never understand non transforming Transformers especially awful funkos and absurdly expensive ones like this. I mean iy is transformers, they should transform?

    To me, personally, Transformers is a brand. The characters are what matters, and a non-transforming figure, if done well (like... not the RED line), is much better than a crappy or mediocre transforming one, regardless of cost (I collect Hot Toys, so for some, I can see the cost being an issue).

    I do agree with you... Funkos suck, I apologize to all who enjoy them though, everyone has their own things.

    Preordered one from BBTS. Interesting it’s higher prices than Megatron and Optimus

    Nemesis looks great with that axe

    If you had one in-hand you’d easily get it. These are really poseable statues with substantial weight and quality. These weigh about 2lbs due to all the diecast, and the paint and engineering is top-notch. So, if you want the ultimately best possible version of a character to display and pose, this is it. If you are looking for an actual toy to play with, this isn’t it.

    These are very similar to Bandai’s Soul of Chogokin or Hot Toys figures. High end, high quality, possible art.

    If all you see is a size difference, then this definitely isn’t for you. That’s like comparing a Marvel Legends to a Hot Toys. One is a *much* higher end collectible than the other. If there isn’t value in it for you, then definitely don’t get them. To me, these are the best Transformers collectibles out there, period.

    Seems this is out. This guy also posted in-hand pics of the original BB Movie Nemesis. I have 3 ordered, no movement on any yet.

    I posted a few picks in a YouTube video on ThePhantomChannel of Soundwave and Ravage DLX.  

    I will post more if there is interest once I receive Nemesis Prime, and BumbleBee from the Last Knight, and others when they arrive.  I mostly stick to sideshow, I am new to Transformers but the quality of these ThreeZero figures pulled me is and is pretty amazing.  

    I get what you are all saying though too, these figures are expensive but are nice top notch display pieces, at least Ravage transforms, it is just transforming him back that is a pain in the @#$.

    Stay well.

    Don’t use the little YouTube link in my member info it takes you to some random channel for some reason lol.

    My preferred choice is Amazon lately for pre-orders, i am in Canada so it saves me duty and shipping, but they will probably arrive later.

    I'm guessing at a toy show in Asia, or something like that.
