    So I just got Nightmare Commander today - does anyone know if the chest piece in the armored up mode is supposed to clip on more securely, or does it fall off easily?

    Are you raising up the chest to create a gap for it to peg in?

    Yeah. And thank you, but I got it figured out. I wasn't pushing it in far enough. It was just difficult as I didn't really feel there was a good place on the figure to apply counter pressure when putting the armor on - I kept pushing the uppper body back at a slant.

    Thanks again.

    Not to derail the thread, but I have posted my Iron Factory collection up for sale in the BST forum if anyone is looking to fill holes in their collection.

    Hey guys, I’ve been interested in collecting some IF figures for a while, but I’m slightly daunted by the choices (and prices too, even though they’re cheaper than other 3P figures). Can anyone recommend a figure or two that would be a good place to start? I was thinking about Megatron (surprise) and maybe Drift or Tarn, but idk how easy any of them are to find anymore. I’m also interested in preordering The Fallen and Galvatron because they look cool. I wouldn’t want a huge legends collection, just some core characters. Thanks

    Don't bother with Drift.

    Look above two posts, guy is selling stuff that may be hard to find at retail.

    Tarn might be a good place to start. You could get the entire DJD. They are still very accessible and each one is an excellent figure. Good way to get an entire set without going crazy tracking down Starscream or Sideswipe.

    Megatron is in at BBTS for under $60 right now.

    Also - while not a 'core' character - I just got Nightmare commander and think it's great.

    Welcome to the dark side. You're not going to be able to quench your thirst for these little guys and gals once you begin your journey.

    That being said, my tops would be (in no particular order)

    Autobot
    Burning Slug
    Hex Wrench
    Mini One Man Army

    Decepticon
    Tyrant
    Bridge Watcher
    Seeker mold (take your pic)

    Hey everyone,

    I don't normally collect legends scaled figures but I've had my eye on Iron Factory Dubhe for a while. I own nothing legends scaled so he would just be a stand alone piece. Do you think it's worth it? Or should I just save my money and try to find a MMC Kultur for a reasonable price?

    So for everybody else who does not own an IF Optimus Prime, who are you substituting as your Autobot commander?
