    I meant top 5 movie bots, which wld be BA Prime, MM-01, TC Beetlebee (design wise..QC sucked ass), La Hire, and MPM Ratchet are my top 5 movie bots.

    As far as Prime, I really only have a top 2, and that's BA Prime, and MM-01... cuz you know... that's all there is lol.

    I'm anxiously waiting on KOK and STS-01, and an MPM Evasion Mode Prime.

    With the exception of the leg panels, and the boxy back, I think he's perfect. As far as paint.. I got the the KO, so that took care of that.

    I was thinking abt getting the OSKO, but seeing how all these other great figures are coming out, I have no doubt that some company out there will make a better scaled MPM Ratchet and Ironhide. So I'll be patient and wait.

    I bought the upscale ratchet recently because it scales better with black apple prime but I hope they release a new Ironhide because even though I want the bmb Ironhide it is flawed a good bit to bad we will never get a black apple Ironhide

    Replace it. Even if you can't get much for it, better to sell it and take the loss than to have it overshadowed and wasting away in a corner collecting dust when you this guy comes to town.

    I have fire scorpion and freedom leader too, but i rather wait for the 3a dlx ko, 250 usd is too much for a little bit better details.

    I see $67.50 shipping cost to USA/Canada which brings total around $250. Where are you shipping to for $220?

    Wow, they already changed it! They had more affordable shipping to US/Can yesterday, around $38. Maybe they'll bring it back again at some point.

    Good news guys!

    I'm from singapore, and I buy from taobao, MM01 is like 1100 rmb,which is equivalent to around 160 usd.

    And I saw scalpers by the way, beware!!! Screenshot_20220525-202829_Chrome.jpg

    Why the f*** does this seller sell so high, thats way beyond MSRP!!!

    On taobao, lazada etc. the prices are always much cheaper. As i know they don't ship to usa or eu, we don't have cheaper option than showz. And at 2021 jul. even aliexpress got too expensive because of the tax/vat system of eu.

    Thats on taobao, it should be second batch.
    Now I am undecided between MM and yolopark.

    The only advantage yolopark has is the head, even MM did not get it quite on point.
    Comparison between yolopark and MM:
    Proportion: yolopark
    Price: 164 usd for MM, 115 for yolo's
    Transformation: MM,yolo's doesnt transform
    CGI comparison: Still yolo in my opinion, and we dont need to get decals.

    However, the MM has a big plus in transformation
    @Black Shuck , correct, I think I will want to help you guys by finding cheap alternatives.

    EDIT: Tf safari has him for 250 USD, excluding shipping, but I dunno which charges more, I dont buy from there:( .

    Looks like tfsafari is the best way to go, they pack your toy within 1-4 working days, ooth show z takes like 8-12 days for standard or 12-25 days for economic shipping.

    But TFSource is definitely not where I would place my order, the price is 290 usd and slower I guess

    TFSource is in las vegas, nevada and TF safari and show z store are located in china

    I really wanted the OSKO at first, but seeing how they literally did nothing to correct, at the very least, the leg panels, I'll wait for a better version.
    For the second batch??
