    I just got deluxe desert brawl, and now I really want Leader Deep Desert Brawl more than any current Leader. In-fact, deluxe desert brawl is now my favorite deluxe thus far. Its warmed me up to brawl very unexpectedly. Any fans of Brawl out there?

    I like him, but I haven't seen the toy anywhere.

    The desert deluxe version is quite good, I'm very impressed.

    I've always liked him, I have the first release. I think he was my first TFTM figure.

    He's my favorite movie design. I got every figure of him during the last line, and plan on continuing that. Hoping we at least get a deluxe Tankor repaint ala the Legends one too.

    Leader Brawl is one of my favorite molds ever, definitely the best tank we've ever had (well..and Animated Shockwave). Not fond of the desert colorscheme, but still an awesome mold.

    I never bought deluxe brawl. Played with him once and I wasn't impressed. The leader version however... is outstanding.

    I havent pulled the trigger on him yet, but if they fixed the peg issue on the first one, then he might be coming home with me after work to stand next to him first movie counterpart.

    Definitely contemplating this as well. The $8 sales will probably be all the motivation I need.

    always loved Brawl. The original deluxe was really nice despite the shoulder issue, and the Leader Brawl is all kinds of Kick-Ass! Knives and weapons all over that figure.

    Leader Deep Desert Brawl is my favorite from the movie lines. Such an awesome figure.

    I have the TF2007 Deluxe Brawl, and aside from his shoulders, he is great.

    I also have two Leader Brawls (both green), one MISB, and one on my bookshelf.

    The Leader Brawl mold is just magnificent; he's heavily armed, (somewhat) poseable, and looks like a proper Decepticon. It is a shame he got such a bad shake in the film. Brawl deserved better, much better.

    I think Brawl is the only decent Leader Class from the Movieverse so far and I'm also going to pick up one of the Deluxes at some point to go with Universe Onslaught.

    Brawl was my favourite Deluxe 'Con from the 2007 line, shoulder problems and all. He just had some much attitude for his size, pretty decent articulation and a great transformation in a solid alt mode. Nothing but love for him.

    The desert camo schemes are pretty cool, but I still prefer the original green.
