    Nah, not worth $10. Really, for $30, he should have been part of the trailer. They could even make his wheels static to cut costs and I wouldn't care.

    When the first galv/ SB set came out i got it on ebay for $26. For that I was ready to buy them all. Now a $6 hike isn't that much for 2 figures, but I feel like $32 each is the direction they'll be going for solo figures starting with this prime. Blah blah the trailer.. But I'm guessing Megatron, Starscream and anybody else we love the same. Does is bother anyone that the back/ shoulders of prime are non existent, just an empty space. Sort of bums me out makes it feel cheap and not seeing any promo shots released of the back should've clued me in. Now Dr. Wu's trying to sell roller alone? Ha! While theyre awesome mini figs, I may call it quits on the line.

    For a Micromaster scale fig? Not at all. I don't even expect full detail at legends scale, tho it's nice when it happens.

    For a micro fig, absolutely expect minimal detail.

    I hear ya man,, a seemingly forgivable gripe for a micro figure, but its a $32 micro figure (equal to or few dollars less than NewAge carbots, cosmos, etc). Galvatron & Soundwave blow this out the water at $15 each, so why not go in on prime? This one just seems lazy, like Dr. Wu approached it with a cash grab mindset of "meh, ppl are suckers for prime and will pay whatever regardless" I am one those suckers so... But before the old micro excuse comes up again,, 4 MS (micros) with bigger packaging, a card, accessories and smaller than the Dr. Wu stuff with better engineering & details for $34.99... just saying

    Or maybe it has a trailer and so there's more plastic to pay for.

    Not yet, but I haven't been looking very hard. Is there pre-orders up for Blaster and Starscream yet? I think they were scheduled to ship before Roller.

    I haven't seen anything for Blaster or Screamer yet, but honestly I'm just waiting for @ShowZStore to list them - they've been my go-to for every single one of these Dr. Wu figures, including the 'limited' ones like Black Galvy / Toy Soundwave, plus both repaints of the Squalkbox and the Black variant of Mohawk.

    Really excited for whatever Seeker repaints they release [and all future figures] - this line has reignited my passion for MicroMasters and made the WFC Modulators that much more awesome.

    Damn. In my head I expected him to be as tall as NA Bumblebee for some reason. Very cool.

    I am very curious what Dr. Wu can design at this scale. I can almost imagine a Jazz in this scale, maybe a Bombshell (his transformation is pretty simple), but I cannot imagine a way to pull off a Brawn and Bumblebee.

    haha… sorry, prime is about the same height, if not a smidge taller. i misleadingly made him even smaller by putting him in an aggressively low crouching A stance just cuz he looked cool doing it. :p 

    i'm enjoying micromus prime so much so that i'm glad i went back and ordered soundwave/beachcomber set, and i can't wait for seaspray, powerglide, blaster and starscream they recently announced. :)

    Mass shifting is a great way to mix different scales and get away with it :p
