    Bruh I ran outside to get mine. Then used the last 20 minutes I had before I had to leave for work to open him up.

    And i agree, but finding perfection is pretty much impossible.

    Just got my reminder why I should open my expensive figures right away, and not many months after receiving them.

    I finally got around to opening my set last night, and just transformed these guys, and sadly there is no forward and backward ratchet working in Halfshell's left hip joint. His elbows are also looser, but I could work around that, but that hip is just gonna go limp in a matter of time, especially with me loading him up with all of his accessories for display.

    I have a few other qualms with the set here and there, but they're all pretty minor, but that hip ratchet not working at all is the big bummer for me, and since it's been so long since I bought him I just wouldn't feel right e-mailing my retailer about it now.

    Thought I learned my lesson when I did the same thing with Brave Max....but apparently not.

    Shame I missed out on this.
    Release time came, I didn't have the money so I let the order get cancelled.
    Same with Super Megatron.

    It helps to pay in full when preorders open, or as soon as possible after that day. Money is budgeted, toys are secured, all goes smoothly.

    I just got this set and I absolutely love it, however, the transformation for Halfshell’s feet where you just pop them and flip them down scares the crap out of me. Anyone have any issues with the feet breaking or anything?

    Oh damn. $249.99 is still pretty steep, but then, I never got around to finishing the Seacons…

    Hang on. Is there any reason to reissue these guys? (And not someone like UW Computron?)

    Cool for those that missed this. I'm still irritated that they never gave Nautilator a gold/white recolor as a separate release even though he appeared in the manga chapters.

    Hopefully the reissue is a way of teasing the waters for such a release.

    Attention TT: you already have the Nautilator mold, all you have to do is change the plastic colors and add new paint apps. We are here waiting to throw our money at you!!!!

    Or Computron?

    Actually, what if this reissue really is to test the waters on...something? Like, more combiner redos in Generations a la Legacy Menasor or the next MPG project?
