I ended up selling the original release after movie 1 Megs was released and then purchased the battle damaged repaint repaint from Target a year later. The darker gray and bronze looks so much better than the monotone gray on the original.

 

You do not need to say more, I understand now.

 

I have the SS13 mold but do kinda regret not grabbing this when I had the chance.

 

I don't know if I should be applying force, I only know the glasses on Wheeljack are attached between the eyes.

 

Yeah both rotf and 07 Megatron are about the same size and as scourge based on size comparisons, and seem about as complex, so he most likely could have been one.

 

I prefer the scale of the ice cream truck figures. It’s not perfect but it’s better.

 

Just out of curiosity, is the spring on your Skids's neck too strong? Mine is a pain to keep in vehicle mode

 

That’s my issue too!! I cld see if the engineering was there. But he’s sooo simple though. Especially his legs!!

SS44 came with a whole lot of parts though, so the price point was acceptable.

 

His legs are the way to skinny. Just makes me curious why he was a Leader, but that is something Samlock can answer. I would have preferred a Voyager and I would while inaccurate I would love it if it had some alt-mode kibble in robot mode due to budget (like TLK Voyager Prime)

Also why Optimus Primal is a Leader. Cause he doesn't look complex at all like his BW show design.

 

No I’ve never had that issue. Mine does have misassembled arms though. So transforming skids is a pain.

 

Money

 

I guess even though Optimus Prime would be the go to for money since he’s more popular and well know.

I love this so much. Well done!

 

Movie One Decepticons with accurate Megatron chest.

I can’t wait to use ROTB Freezer as a stand in for Frenzy, but he will probably be way to large.

Even with accurate chest, MV1 Megatron still doesn’t beat DOTM Megatron (Universal Studio version) when displayed on my movie trilogy shelf.

Does anyone know if the Premium Finish line is dead? They still haven't released Jetfire. I really want to grab SS05 but if the line lives then I'll probably just wait until the inevitable SS32 version. To anyone that owns both PF Megatron and SS05, do you think they're worth it despite the limited availability/higher prices right now? I do already have SS32 and RoTF Megatron. I'd be trading accuracy for deco on Prime and upgrading to my ideal Megatron should I end up grabbing both of them.
