    Just noticed something really weird with ebay, if I search the same title on the app and in browser on my laptop I get different results, more shows up on the laptop.

    It's weird, the filters are the same between both, it's like some listings are outright excluded from the app version.

    So I was scrolling through ebay looking at iron factory bots and this guy showed up. What can you guys tell me about this toy and the company, does he scale with if bots? Never seen them before, thanks! Screenshot_20210314-124836~2.png Screenshot_20210314-124832~2.png Screenshot_20210314-124819.png

    I see the name. That doesn't tell me the quality of the figure, scale, or if people like it

    There's plenty of reviews, and searching the name of TFW should help as well.

    SXS Rodimus is not legends scale. So he doesn’t scale at all, with these figures.

    Quality is well enough. Not as hardy as MMC’s plastic; but I prefer SXS’ Rodimus vastly over MMC’s, for looks/accuracy wise. MMC’s alt mode is better, though.

    He scales with voyagers - just like MMC’s IDW/Reformatted line. You could also stick him with “MP sized” IDW stuff as well; considering MP Car bot size is voyager size.

    Nah. That's SXS Rodimus, and stands at about 20cm, which is about double IF's scale. From what I've heard, QC is questionable.

    But you gotta admit it looks gorgeous. IF is bound to release a rodimus, but I doubt it's soon given the backlog.

    Not a real beast-mode fan, but Leo Convoy and Dragon Megs look astounding and are on my hit list.

    Leo Convoy is clearly their *best* Samurai figure. And by a long shot.

    Well, given that only two of IF's Samurai line has been released, it's not much competition for best samurai figure when going up against their fiddly and fragile Bludgeon.

    Well they already released their trans metal primal. I don't think there is plan further than that so you shouldn't wait ;)
