    Oh come on.. you don't REALLY need to bring all those extra clothes home with you. Just leave a few pairs of socks, and you could fit in a loose Megatron or Mirage....

    :lol 

    True. But I did like the Japanese packaging as well. I think I would've needed to buy another suitcase entirely. :lol

    To Henkei or not to Henkei

    Can’t decide if I should replace my classics Megatron or just pass. Since its Takara, I don’t really want to open it. Maybe I should just pass. Help me decide!

    I don't own Megatron or Hot Rod so I'll probably get those anyway.

    I do own Astrotrain though but that one is definitely worth the upgrade...

    I will pick up Astrotrain too...but he's not in question...I just think the cooler colors on this new megs are way better than the abomination we got last time round.

    The only one I'm debating on is Megatron (seems like a lot of you are in the same boat). Astrotrain looks great in the Anime colors, but I'm happy with the Hasbro version. I guess if I were to find Megatron for dirt cheap down the road I'd get one...but I already have two of each of Hasbro's Classics and don't see the need to get the Japaense verions too.

    I've ordered a Henkei (or as I like to call it "hinky") Megatron and I'll promote my Hasbro version to "Galvatron" since the colors are similar to G1 Galvy.

    oh man...that decepticon logo on the scope looks AWFUL....that is almost killing my entire desire for this figure...and seeing those side by side pictures i still cant make up my bloody mind...they both look really cool, but both have some big flaws....crap

    i really am so undecided....45 bucks for a figure ive already got that i might like more...ugh....ugh...


    i really love the purple on classics megatron, but that black on japanese megatron is cool too....and the red and black and silver works well together, but i also think the purple and green and whiteish does too...

    Encore. The details are tampographed and they've revamped the face mold (because the old one was a mess).

    i own this megs and i can't stand the color scheme. i just liked the new gun alt form back then. the colors when transformed, are an eyesore imho. i am getting closer to deciding...i just don't know if i am willing to fork out the money or not. maybe when i get my stimulus check in the mail...

    yeah, i dont know why, but those colors have grown on me alot...and i'm getting one for under 45 shipped, which isnt too bad...and if i get him and dont like him, i can always sell him off too....i just cant see myself selling green megs if i buy this one...which then gets me asking why....but theres not an explanation, i just want both for some reason...
