    Looks nice, but if I never see another Camaro Bumblebee as long as I live, it'll be too soon... :drunk

    I didn't watch a video because AOE Grimlock doesn't really interest me. These photos just grabbed my attention because it looked HUGE. Sometimes it's faster to ask a simple question than go on a research bender. :) 

    I don't have a pic handy, but is there anything in particular you wanted to know? They're just about identical, besides the scale. They definitely aren't compatible.

    However, if you wanted to plug small limbs into an OS torso bot, I'm fairly sure you could add some gap-fillers and make it work. I don't think it would be feasible to actually -put- a smaller port in the larger one, but gluing in some styrene shims would probably work fine.

    Wow, is that a thing? You have my attention, now.

    They don't tell you much, do they? I've never heard of NPKCOLLECTION. That price is quite low... almost too low.

    Can anyone confirm any details about this thing. It's listed as in-stock now, but I haven't heard anybody talking about it. Seems weird that some random French webstore would be the only one to have these. Are they even French? I can't find any clear info about where they are located.

    (also, wow... that site ONLY accepts Visa and bank transfers??)

    They have some insanely cheap items listed (like what appears to be a KO off KBB's Voyager Masterpiece Prime for £12). If they took PayPal I'd probably have chanced it, even if I had to faff around with chargebacks when it turned out to be a box of beads :-D

    Has anyone gotten their hands on the KBB Core Magnus yet? I'm tempted to pick one up for myself.

    I'm

    I'm having a hard time deciding to get the WJ KO Bee or the LT01 Wasp.

    does anyone know of any good comparison pictures / threads / videos etc that show the two mentioned?
    Thanks.

    I got them but the knuckle joint on the hands break very easily. The rescue set is a mess combined. Very bad instructions, but I doubt good instructions would help :)

    I would recommend the Optimus from the Authentics line (smaller one) at the dollar stores. The figure is pretty crappy overall but the head sculpt is damn good!
