    As good as the figure and design is, I just couldn't bring myself to buy a repeat of the same character. :confused: 

    I feel like it's been forever since I ordered TLK Megatron too. o_O

    Something's holding me back from getting this one as well. It's a very impressive piece but my OCD can't get over that big rust stain under the left headlight and how the weathering is kinda overkill in some places that even after heavy fighting weren't as dirty in the movie. The prototype was much more appealing to me, it had just the right amount of weathering. It's ironic that we were just talking about how the dlx line is not getting enough weathering in the later batches and now here we are. Looks like there's no middle ground with Threezero.

    I know I’m super late to the thread, and I’m reviving a zombie thread…but I ordered one of these (and pretty much all the other 3a Bee movie figures) and I look forward to getting this out of the box on Wednesday or Thursday. I’m supposed to get 3 of the deluxe figures tomorrow.

    I watched a lot of the videos in this thread that help sway me to get both the deluxe and premium version. I figure I’ll pose the deluxe version in an aerial action pose, and probably use the sword on the premium since that isn’t an option on the deluxe model (unless I buy 3rd party accessory swords).

    I received mine and I am overall very pleased with this figure, but I found it terrifying to pose. I wanted to get a dynamic kneeling look with the sword, and it is super hard to really tell how far the joints can go due to how stiff they are. I was fearing at some points that I might break a joint since I thought I might have been pushing them past the point they were supposed to go. The combination of extremely tight metal joints, and plastic pieces that feel more fragile made it seem higher risk than say a Hot Toys figure. So unlike the Deluxe figures, I cannot see myself posing the Premium figure a lot. I’m just too concerned that something might go wrong. If I actually posed the figure in a different way, I’d be scared to try to go back to that kneeling pose again. It just felt like I was stressing the figure to its limits in getting that pose. Perhaps if I had stuck to a less extreme pose I wouldn’t feel this way, or maybe I’ll gain more confidence in posing these over time.

    That said, it is an incredible figure overall.
