    thats my thought they did so awesome with munitioner/ Swindle or to drop the ball a bit with explorerer/Blast off

    on the plus side there should be alot of cheap limbs available due to these lol

    With all of these GREAT third party figures coming out its not the best time to be on unemployment!! Our shop is shop down for an undisclosed period of time due to 5' of water inside killing all equipment. These AWESOME figures are not helping my current frame of mind.

    My first expensive TF purchases in ages will likely be these two and some of the Botcon set. Comparing the Superlink set that I have to the ROTF set and the Original set, I've decided that Brawl and Onslaught are actually more accurate to the original and ROTF Vortex isn't worth paying the $60+ for the ROTF set. So, $90 instead of $150.

    I doubt I'll "be pissed off and regretting it." These look great, and I'd love to have them, but $50 for a scout is more than I'm willing to pay. So I'll just stick with the full Hasbro version.

    Not everyone has the same opinion of/is willing to pay the same prices for everything.

    my only gripe is i wish they had painted a cockpit on the space shuttle. but, with some blue tape and black paint, i can fix that. ^^

    I'd have to have pretty low standards to get emotionally upset and distraught over a toy's color scheme.


    But the Explorer is apparently a drone vehicle, based on this:

    I was confused about the lack of a cockpit myself, but the drone thing makes perfect sense.

    With BotCon being G2 and all, this is where my money's going this summer. Just gotta wait for Monday when the Discover rolls over. :D

    Not only they've made like mini-masterpieces of Blast-Off and Swindle, they've also solved Blast-Off's altmode scale problem. Can't wait to get mine and slap some fat Decepticon reprolabels on them.

    Edit: well, not exactly in scale since the X-34 is quite big, but still a nice option for Blast-Off.

    Drone plane or not, that color palette does not mix well. I'm glad they put a little bit of black on the nose and under, to break off some of that brown, but it still doesn't look aesthetically pleasing. I would've gone with more shades of gray or mix in some black in there. I guess I can understand some of it's practicality if it were seen from above, it would mix in with the earthtones for camouflage...

    Either way, I gotta have it...Hopefully finally paint comes with some better choice of paint applications...

    Dude, they deliberately designed Explorer's altmode as a drone vehicle.

    They are building a custom. They are not building a dead on G1 figure.
