    For the royalty! I got my copy of Inferno a few weeks ago and he is worth every bit of that $33. I'd dare say he is the best of the Legacy line thus far.

    He is quite good. I think Jhiaxus is my favorite still but Inferno is a very close second.

    Jhiaxus is definitely a great figure as well. I didn't think I would like him, especially with his legs hanging down in vehicle mode, but after getting him in hand, he is downright amazing. Legs aside, his robot mode is so clean and looks like it jumped right from the G2 comic.

    @PrinceDarian07 brought over that wave this weekend and Inferno is quite a large and solid figure. I'll be getting him AND TM Megatron.
    Both great representations of what they SHOULD be in this modern age.

    The box design for Dr. Mindbender is next level. So cool!

    2. Hiss tank megs in a sealed pristine box to trade for one with slight shelf wear

    Hoping I can find someone who cares about the box less than I do. Shoot me a direct message if so :)

    Yeah it’s definitely a flawed figure. Seems like it’s not designed by the usual team and it shows. Plus side — vehicle mode is big and flawless.

    I was just discussing with Soundwave144 that I think the ideal way to go would have been Mask sized figures and of course more integration of the figure into the vehicle. As is figures are kinda “wearing armor” out of the vehicle. Not ideal.

    And as I voiced before, wondering if they went this route to be able to swap out the characters to make a blue soundwave tank, purple shockwave…

    Sooooo….how bout that ROTB trailer?

    Personally I’m loving it so far, seems like they’re treating the transformers as actual characters this time. Also plot rumors are hinting at some really cool stuff. Only major complaints are prime’s design and wheeljack’s design. Both really odd choices considering some of the deeper cuts we see in the trailer alone like primal’s mace and swords or arcee’s visor.

    Sightings wise, i saw the Starscream and Inferno wave at University target, they didnt have Inferno or Megatron.
    Also saw the 2nd set of die cast Jada figures at Shackleford Walmart.
    Hollow on not, I'll buy a Soundwave tank and leave it in alt mode!!

    I'll watch it.
    I hope they finally kill Bee!!! :buttrock

    I just got my Dr. Mindbender in and he is amazing! Serpentor and Mindbender have both been home runs! Normally, I would put the extra accessories Mindbender came with in a bag, but his accessories are too good NOT to display. I've been looking for a lab style set or at least a 6" scale table to put next to him but can't find anything so far.

    Also saw that Amazon just charged me for Classified Dusty. Zarana and Crimson Guard are also due Wednesday but have yet to get a charge for them.

    Yea, I've been hearing that these Joe x TF figures were designed exclusively by the GI Joe team with no input from the Transformers team and it kinda shows. I also agree, that smaller scale figures would have been better (and more economical). I was thinking something like Star Wars x TFs or the current Star Wars Microverse line myself. Or even Mega Construx mini-figure scale. At least on Mega Construx scale it is possible to keep the play value of GI Joe with articulation and interchangeable accessories while being only 2" tall.

    I still would like to see a Optimus Prime H.A.V.O.C. but I'd be afraid to see just how kibbly that would end up being.

    I'm looking forward to Serpentor for sure but since my shelf is so far up, I don't have any space to be able to see the extra bits that came with mindbender. :( 
    I'll probably move them to a different shelf eventually tho. Here's a couple that I've seen used for a lab set... Dollhouse Chemistry Laboratory Miniature Laboratory Table - Etsy
    1/12 Scale Tissue Culture Lab Items for 3D Printing and - Etsy
    GI Joe Classified 1/12 Cobra MARS Laboratory Workshop Modular Diorama | eBay


    I KNEW you would get this Starscream, he's well done.
