    I mean Keith's other company XTB has improved a lot over the years, less QC problems. So who's to say AAT's improved as well (I mean this figure looks 100 times better than El Cid ever did)

    Hey Octo, dont let it get under your skin..
    I actually like your “see the toy first then rejoice” attitude, it is a fresh counter for all people who just get excited about all new toys.

    sometimes it helps to block posts from people you dont agree with..
    It helped me when I came into an argument with a (probably the same) user.. he was really annoyed that I got into the vehicle-scale thing and how hastak fracked it up.. I blocked him and dont get messages or content by him. That helped me enjoy the site a lot more.

    when it comes to collecting it is good to do it the way YOU want, careful for QC, vehicle scale minded or someone who wants everything anyways… we should be able to have an opinion even if someone who feels he owns the site does not agree with us.
    you do you!

    I hope they do. I've been waiting for a dotm megatron in mp scale for a while. I'm going to be a little cautious and wait for the reviewers to get him in their hands first before I jump in on it.

    Exactly this @octobotimus if you pay attention I actually hit “like” on a lot of your posts, but you are sometimes relentlessly negative and it’s a bummer to read. No one hates you and I don’t want you to go anywhere except when you get overly defensive and feel attacked and say weird shit like “I don’t have to bend to your whim” or whatever.

    Agreed, the ignore feature helps a lot.

    Eh I never use the Ignore button. I got close once when there was a guy spamming pictures that weren’t his, but he got banned. As much as I may want to use it, everyone eventually gets heated at each other over something but could easily go back to being fine afterward, so I prefer to leave it and let things cool eventually instead of just ignoring them. I actually think I got heated with you at some point over something stupid, and am extremely thankful neither of us ignored the other.

    Surely it has some, it weighs a lot.

    I personally don't care, because diecast doesn't add anything valuable to me, it only brings problems for the most part.

    I’m willing to bet the legs have diecast. More so the feet, since it’ll help him stay in the ground and not topple over.

    For me, good quality plastic is way better than random used diecast metal. Something like what FansHobby is doing

    Really? Do people actually need to use "ignore" button on a board for transformers toy discussions? We, mostly adult males as a group, can't take seeing words that we don't agree with? There seems to be so much unnecessary drama in here.

    I don't know mate, i get it on a football (soccer) forum or while discussing politics, beliefs but here... well.

    Back on the topic, this bad boy will complete the circle of Megatrons. My only concern is the price as i did not recovered from UT Nero yet. This, their Hound and Dreads are my most anticipated figures for now.

    Sephiroth. Everyone should ignore that guy. Aside from that it's up to you :lol 
    Yes agreed! I think some of these companies lean too much on "features" like this that only artificially inflate the value.
    I usually use it for people who like to randomly go into movieverse figure areas just to write long paragraphs about how much they hate bayverse and I just don't have time for or interest in that type of trolling.
