    Ahhh fuck my hairy shoulders $200 USD is just within my price range. These were easy to ignore when I thought they'd be like $500-600, but now it's actually something I could feasibly afford.

    AHHHH and Rodimus has Hot Rod parts God help me....

    i can't stand the SO designs for these two but the sculpt work that went into these is immeasurably good. galvatron's legs and every black or grey part of rodimus especially dynamic and lifeful.

    damn damn damn...

    I was hoping not to be so tempted by these... they really got the quality way up there from the intial pics.
    I wish they were still even smaller, though. Hot Toys size is too big for me, would prefer 1/100-ish/METAL BUILD size.

    I'm holding off on Rodimus since both at once is a big pill to swallow but I preordered that Galvatron so hard.

    - 30cm (Hot Rod/Galvatron) as opposed to 44cm (Optimus Prime/Megatron)
    - no electronics.
    - no removable armor that reveals inner mechanical detail.

    RobotKingdom has the base figures at $240 but shipping to my state as $999. I don't know what kind of glitch they are dealing with but there's no way I'm attaching a CC# to that. I seem to recall they wanted $100 to ship Legends Overlord and this toy is bigger, so that's a reasonable ballpark.

    OhMyPrimus, which I've used before for Asian exclusives, has the base figures at $255 and shipping $110.

    I really thought I had sworn off BBTS since they're so slow, but, damn, are they really the least insane option?

    Can't stand OX versions of anything so they are a pass. They should, however, redo this line in this size and do Prime again. NO OX, please.

    Somehow I feel like these should be more impressive than they are as $300 licensed toys.

    still they are kind of cool and I love both characters. It’s possible I may get these.

    They're also "no need to refinance your house just to afford both."

    This is way more affordable and they might continue that stuff. I am happy with this big time.

    These look so good. I can't start down this path.
