    When that time comes, I won't collect anymore (or I'll collect less). :lol  I have too many hobbies to put my money in. If I have to sacrifice figures, for sure it won't be the Legends :lol 

    Meanwhile I'll use ShowZ. I buy onlyne since 2007 in the early years of eBay and other webstores, over all these years I had less than ten problems with customs. With this small figures (Legend scale) it's easy to put 20€ value, then you don't have to pay taxes.

    On Spain the customs are managed by a private company that charges you the handling fees that they want without any criteria (ADT Postales, another "thief" company with relations with the government), that sh*t of handling fees are about to disappear. I think it's natural to pay the country importation fees but in some cases plus shipping, doesn't compensates me. So I'll have to choose correctly my next buyings. :lol 

    Will see how this situation evolves. :)

    Yes but that is just it, they are taxing everything under 22 euro now too.
    I know Terry's and Aliexpress do the fee automatic, so that way I do not have to worry about import or handling fee by the post.
    With Show Z, I read the notice, they still declare a low value on a parcel, so either they are not beeing screened or Show Z handles the tax.
    To be honest, it doesn't concern me all that much, as long as the things I buy are still cheaper compared to the only store we have that sales them here, I am fine :D

    Yeah, me too. On Spains there's one or two stores selling KO with the price of gold. And Amazon has KOs too at insane prices. With taxes or not, I'll buy my Legends on ShowZ anyway :lol

    I feel that both NewAge and Magic Square have not made nicer looking alt-modes than the original G1-toys. That said, bot mode is where this set should shine and it seemingly does.

    Man, can't wait for these beautiful looking bots to arrive. MS designer really put his heart and the kitchen sink into these guys.
    Also looking forward to the next set. I'm guessing it will be the arm bots, Scavenger/Bonecrusher set.
    But at the same time, MS first released Motormaster and then the Menasor arm bots as the final set..

    Interesting. You almost can’t tell the difference between this and the G1 altmodes… I like it!

    But these are Legends scale figures, not MP. I swear every month we get another one - "these are cool they should upscale them to MP" or "oh wait these are not MP? I'm out"

    I hope the sarcasm is noted, I cannot make this text blue enough. :p

    At thir rate ,is difficult that we'll se all sets before mid September at least if it happens at the end I could have chance to buy also their 3 packages,at the worst I'll proceed just with this set,Scrapper is tall and can switch faces and for Mixmaster cab is much realistic.
