    Ok.. now show me where I said this was a win. You even quoted me saying "assuming the QC will be good".

    This one "I'll happily pay for accuracy and quality, vs quantity." was a general statement which I guess is why you didn't quote the entire msg, so here you go..

    And let me add this one too.. since you sooo conveniently left it out.....

    Make sure you get all your facts straight homie

    Yeah, at this price point a much better option at the moment. Also seeing people spending ~$150 for transformable version then buying upgrade kits adding an additional ~$80+ that make it non-transformable really makes me wonder what the whole "Transformers must transform" fad is all about.

    I know what you mean.. BA Prime comes to mind. I just went ahead and bought myself a 3Z Prime and called it a day. Now I have a Prime that transforms and another that is screen accurate.

    BA Prime, BMB Knight Prime... :lol  it's respectable, but if I want movie accuracy I prefer a ThreeZero version.

    Kind of not related to the topic, but BA Prime is not ageing gracefully. After seeing the Transcraft Bumblebee and its KO, Unique Toys Megatron and its KO, and Unique Toys Galvatron, it seems that BA Prime is not as accurate as we thought it was at the beginning.

    It's not perfect, but it's the closest thing we have to on screen accuracy.

    Can we now please leave the thread alone till we get some actual news?

    People keep coming here complaining abt the price, and preferring this, or preferring that, for the price point.

    Ok, cool... unwatch the thread, go follow something you actually want, and stop bumping this one... or just watch this one quietly till you can actually judge the figure once it's released.

    Personally while this looks amazing, i don't feel like it's worth it just because it transforms into a not-so-great truck and the huge ass display base will make the shipping much more complicated, the ThreeZero dlx and the new amazingly detailed Plamo model kit are just much better deals even if they don't transform.

    Plus as much as bad the BMB's QC can get, they'll probably KO the mpm12 with some upgrade parts.

    Better than the classic “is it out yet?” “Any updates” or “I hope it releases soon”.

    If this figure turns out to be good, I rather BMB do an undersized KO of this than MPM 12. Kinda like how they adjusted the Bayverse Megatron's size. Do an undersize of this figure so it's masterpiece scale rather than ThreeZero scale.

    If the magnets and joints are strong enough to do various one legged poses and such, I'd gladly pay the extra shipping for the "slab". Personally, I think it'd be cool to have the option of super dynamic poses without an actual stand.

    USKOs need to be a thing. I can only think of three examples of that ever happening, compared to many many OSKOs.

    I have a tiny downscaled TLK voyager optimus that is meant to go with the OSKO Grimlock. It's great! It's like half the size, and at that size the flaws and limitations of that mold are much easier to stomach.
