    You’re just missing this one, as far as I can tell:

    I saw them in a shop for the first time two days ago. I loved Actionmasters as a kid but you could get the single figures for a fiver but these have less articulation and were priced at 20 quid each.

    They did look nice though and I think they would look good alongside the Actionmasters.

    I basically only have Devastator (and the Fallen Leader Prime because it was $5), so it could go with a bunch of similar sized robotic characters Super 7 makes. Its very nice! I liked it way more than I expected and has a great feel to the straight edges

    Just purchased a bunch of loose ones! I used to not understand the appeal of these but after dabbling in collecting some of the new Star Wars retro line, I totally understand. It's the simplicity and charm. Yes, they're a bit overpriced - I wouldn't burn nearly 20 a pop for these, and they're definitely overcharging than what they're worth. Ideally 10 a pop - 13 max. I'm just surprised they're not rolling out the obvious repaints like Skywarp or Thundercracker or Frenzy already? Or what about a Kenner style Ark or Nemesis playset?? Then again I guess we're the super minority here (which I totally understand the gripes: limited articulation and it's overpriced), so probably not gonna happen. Bring on wave 5 and beyond already! Datsun bros, Lambo bros, Wheeljack, Ironhide, and Ratchet are obvious holes needed to be filled here :D

    Love my Gold Armor Bee, hoping we get more Geetooish colored releases in the future.

    Alright y'all, hear me out: I'm thinking of an Ark ReAction carrying case. Similar to the Kenner Rebel Transport, it can double as a carrying case and a ship/playset! How cool would that be?? The first layer will be a tray with the foot pegs for storage, but it could also lift off for more play space. It has enough room for a teletraan 1 if you really want. Similar idea could follow with the Nemesis. Someone pass this along to Brian Flynn/Super 7 Team ;)  (Not sure if anyone else thought of this already, but I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet so I thought I'd do it myself)

    Right?? It's too bad a majority (or are we a silent majority?) isn't too down for "non-transforming" transformers :p

    That's great. Would love an ark, nemesis or space bridge set.

    A space bridge set would be pretty neat too! Definitely missed opportunities here!

    land of jawas_ark playset.jpg View attachment 29317435 A quick-ish dirty photoshop of another dream Ark playset - using the Kenner Land of the Jawas playset as a base. You could probably make this in real life if you want to. The idea is using cardboard printouts with the the thrusters slightly protruded for a 3D effect. Had a lot of fun doing this one :p

    Thanks! Someone just needs to make this a reality :D 

    Other options I was thinking of for cardboard backgrounds include but not limited to the space bridge, power plant, energon mine, etc...

    Been trying to drill down a place for these. They have to be characters I don’t already have in masterpiece and don’t need in masterpiece. They also have be characters I wouldn’t need in ultimates either. That comes down to like shrapnel and mirage lol

    So... what's up with the release schedule? As far as I know only half of wave 3 has been released (I have Dirge and Blaster, but Perceptor and Blitzwing aren't out yet?) and Wave 4 has already been released as well? I only ordered Hot Rod and Galvatron from wave 4, but I have them in hand.

    Also, does anyone know why Blaster came with a grey version of Perceptor's gun? Does Perceptor come with a red version of that gun or are we supposed to put the grey gun that came with Blaster in Perceptor's hands?

    Am a little confused : P
