    depends on your definition of "good stuff"

    Hasbro reissued G1 Prime twice so far, one of which was a major shelfwarmer. Everyone had a chance at that. The deluxe prime is a walmart exclusive, with just a little less paint, and some parts molded in blue instead of gray. The only thing you're really missing out on is the DOTM trailer, which really isn't that cool.

    as for the megatron set, premium deco would probably push it out of the voyager price point, and G1 Megatron can't be released in north america anymore.

    Does anyone know if these guys come with stickers at least? I kinda like the unchromed Megs..but, he needs some stickers on him. same with Prime.

    Meh, I donĀ“t find G1 Megs that impressive, especially with that horrible crotch piece. Besides G1 or not, I never liked that Megatron was a mere sidearm wich is another reason to not really care about the G1 toy. Give me a G2 Megs mold any day of the week.

    Even as a kid, I thought G1 Megatron's toy looked like a cheap, flimsy piece of crap compared to all the other Transformer toys.

    Methinks Takaratomy are out of fresh moulds for future releases (hopefully for the timebeing). I'll be passing on these two boxed sets, kinda pointless (and redundant) IMHO

    Got my CH-01 set this morning.

    KUHL
    -Trailer (nicely painted) opens up and can carry... stuff
    -Remolded hitch part on G1 Convoy now allows him to carry his gun in alt mode... at last!
    -Stickers for G1 Convoy
    -Better paint apps on DOTM DLX Optimus Prime (silver)

    NUT KUHL
    -G1 Convoy's gun is badly molded... the barrel actually curves downwards
    -Support legs on the trailer don't even fold up
    -They could have given DOTM Prime a brand new gun, no? Or at least a remolded one?

    I thought just the opposite. He had a wicked transformation for the time (heck, even by today's standards for a toy of that size) compared to the other Transformers who mostly transformed 1-2-3-yawn. And he had some good die-cast and chrome content.

    as much as i hate the movie toys, figures, and looks in general, that one may be a buy simply because of the goodbye megatron homage for the G1 there.

    From the looks of the G1 Megatron, it looks like a KO.

    Not a KO, he's just done in plastic as opposed to die-cast.

    With no chromed parts. It does look kinda meh.

    DOTM Megs looks awesome. Won't buy the set, but that definitely looks like a great piece.

    G1 Megs is simply a repaint of eHobby G1 Megaplex with the Blue parts replaced with red.
