    Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Yeah BBB is putting the pressure on Showz to keep their prices low. I still love Showz too, but it’s good they have competition like that in prices. Dang, BBB is emerging as a go to China retailer for 3p. I already liked them before the point system, now they’re even better. It’s getting tough to decide between the two. BBB is definitely beating all the other smaller China retailers out, Showz and now BBB are the top two on the list.

    MS has a website besides their Weibo page? Got a link?

    Geez, where have I been, somehow I missed this big news too.

    you won’t regret it. I quit MP over 3 years ago now and I’ve never looked back.

    It's funny, I ditched MP until this past year when the prices started to creep down. I snapped X-Transbots Pathfinder, MP Skids, and Fans Hobby Siren. And guess what? I hardly touch them. They're fine, but just a bit too much of a headache to transform and generally handle. I miss figures that I can transform without worrying about scratching paint or snapping delicate joints. I realized I MISS Magic Square figures in particular, and to a slightly lesser extent, mainline Hasbro figures (when they don't cheapen out on the plastic quality).

    It's www.magicsquaretoys.com .

    Also mentioned in the video, MS confirmed they are planning to release their own figure stands.
    Curious about those.

    Awesome, thanks for the link. Yeah that does sound interesting. I wouldn’t mind some “play sets” either. They did the magic villa thing, but it seems there’s a lot of potential there for legends.

    Would be awesome indeed if MS would design and sell some backdrop pieces like Teletraan 1 etc.

    Must be a new site, I saw something about an official warranty so I clicked on it (in case my motormasters paint cracks) but it doesn’t link anywhere and the header appears incomplete.

    But that warranty… is this the the first time a 3rd company has officially guaranteed their product (lack of warranty details aside)? We can hardly count on consistent fixes these days, much less a guarantee of replacement/replacement parts… that would be sick….. I could actually use that since my jazz Face came chipped.

    I just found out there's a Street Fighter crossover today from Hasbro. The timing's hilarious.

    Are the accessories as shown in Optimus Legends' YouTube video just a place holder for the final Ratchet release ....? Ironhide got a surprise jetpack for the final product release ;)

    Definitely under construction.
    Am I dumb or there is a 'login' page but not a 'register' one yet?

    I'm new to Legends scale. Is Magic Square the go-to for this scale?

    I would say that Magic Square and New Age are the top two and I'd haphazard to say most would side with New Age at this time due to material and paint but MS has come a long way.

    I appreciate this very much. Do you have a recommendation on which Devastator is the better purchase at this scale? I think I'm going to start there. Legends scale is looking better and better as shelf space becomes a precious commodity. I'm also truly amazed by the dynamic poses and articulation I've seen.
