    the mini-guys themselves i actually like, im surprised to find. however, as with the rest o yall, the added pegs and stickers are a fail.

    Can anyone tell if cliff's gun is pegged into his hand or the added port? cuz if you dont need the port and if they come to the US then i might pick up one or two of cliff's gun cuz Rid doesnt come with the triple guns

    I guess I got to look closer as they looked the same (not showcasing them up close doesn't help).

    IT's almost like having a kit! PErsonally I like the idea of putting things together myself and adding stickers....as long as they don't fall apart like gundam models then I'm all over it.

    As much as Takara Tomy LOVES targetmasters, I wish they'd design a variety of them; repainting Nightstick over and over again is kinda boring.

    (I don't count those PCC Mini-cons as Targetmasters, should I?)

    Well, they are targetmasters in everything but name. Their altmodes are weapons after all.

    Sadly these campaigns are just freebies, so I imagine they can't really justify the expense of creating a new mold for them. Repainting an existing mold, however, is cheap as dirt.

    Well some of them are better than others so they're decent new versions of Targetmasters. The Backwind mold, to me, is the only outright dud of the bunch. Waterlog is awesome in gun mode and I really like the Caliburst/Darkray and Chainclaw/Bomb-Burst molds.

    Welcome to minicon collecting! lol. It's expensive.

    Could these micron figures be worth much on their own?

    I see microns for sale and most of the time they command a lot of money so I figured it may be worth buying these for just the micron even. But that may be because past ones are a lot rarer (i dont know anything about microns).

    $20 a figure isn't to bad if the microns would be worth it alone

    These micron figures look cute but definitely not worth the money if the price is at high end.

    I'd pay $30.00 for Vector Oracle but $60.00 is to rich.

    Ah!, that would make sense - HLJ has them pre-ordered for June or something I think; cheers for clearing that up. :)

    Soundwave's not being released until April. Unless something pops up ahead of time, we probably won't see any scans of him or Terrorcon Cliffjumper until the end of March.
